TDP encouraging defections, YSRCP melting like ice: APCC Prez

Vijayawada, Jul 18 (UNI) APCC President N Raghuveera Reddy today alleged that the ruling Telugu Desam Party is indulging in murky politics by encouraging defections and depicting the principal Opposition YSR Congress Party with melting ice as the party MLAs are quitting it.

Addressing press meet programme, here today, he said the TDP and the BJP were deceiving people in getting Special Category Status (SCS) to Andhra Pradesh. The Cabinet approval is enough to grant SCS. Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu and Union Minister M Venkaiah Naidu, who had over three decades of political experience, knew that but they were not exerting pressure on the Centre to get SCS, he slammed.
