A delegation of TDP MPs met Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Delhi. They thanked him for giving recognition to Amaravati as the Capital City of AP. The delegation consisted of MPs Galla Jayadev, K Rammohan Naidu, Kanakamedala Ravindra Kumar and Thota Sitaramalakshmi. The MPs thanked the Centre for including Amaravati as AP Capital in the Political Map of India. This is the first time in recent times that Amit Shah gave formal appointment and officially met a delegation from AP. Only a few weeks ago, Shah did not give official appointment to CM Jagan Reddy who had to wait for two days in Delhi but could get just an informal chance to meet Shah at that time. YCP MP Vijayasai Reddy, once a regular at PMO and Shah office, is now unofficially banned there.

Obviously, the TDP is taking advantage of the Centre’s growing dissatisfaction against YCP. Now, the TDP MPs also gave to Shah copy of an open letter written by Naidu thanking Modi-Shah for recognition to Amaravati. The MPs also explained to the Union Home Minister on the political harassment and police excesses against opposition leaders in Andhra. Amit Shah said that he had full knowledge of what is happening to AP law and order. He told them to leave that subject to the Centre. When the TDP MPs said they would meet him again on people’s issues, Amit Shah just said that they can meet him whenever they want.
