Continuing as part of NDA: TDP Union Minister on resignation
TDP leader YS Chowdary has said he is resigning as Union Minister of State for Science and Technology but will continue to be part of NDA. Stating that Union Civil Aviation Minister Ashok Gajapathi Raju was also resigning, Chowdary likened the conflict between the Centre and Andhra Pradesh to a divorce. This comes over the state's demand for special status.
