New Delhi: The police, on Sunday, detained lawmakers of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) after they attempted to protest near Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s residence, demanding the special category status to Andhra Pradesh.
They were detained while they were on their way to the PM residence at 7, Lok Kalyan Marg.
“The prime minister is the person to take decisions on the special status. He has to fulfil his promises and that is why we want to raise our demands with him,” TDP lawmaker Jayadev Galla was quoted saying by PTI.
NDA and TDP had a fall-out over the issue with the former issuing a no-confidence motion notice against the government, which couldn’t be taken due to repeated adjournments.
