BJP pulls its ministers out of Andhra Pradesh government

New Delhi: BJP ministers in the Andhra Pradesh government, Dr Kamineni Srinivas and Pydikondala Manikyala Rao, have resigned from the state cabinet. A day after chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu indicated his Telugu Desam Party was considering a divorce with the Centre’s ruling alliance led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Naidu said on Wednesday two TDP ministers in the central government will pull out, as tense ties between the allies reached a flashpoint after the CM’s failed bid to secure special category status for Andhra Pradesh.
