YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) leader and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister-designate Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy on Tuesday invited TDP chief N. Chandrababu Naidu for his swearing-in ceremony.
“Today was the first meeting with the prime minister. God willing I'll probably meet him maybe 30, 40, 50 times over these five years. I will make it a point to remind him every time of the Special Category Status matter," Jagan Mohan Reddy said.
The YSRCP chief had earlier promised the people of Andhra that if his party comes to the power, his government would support whoever promises the state a special category status.
YSR Congress President Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy Saturday met Governor of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana ESL Narasimhan and staked claim to form government in Andhra Pradesh.
Addressing the newly-elected legislators of his party, Jagan Reddy said Andhra Pradesh election results showed that those who resort to unethical and unjust means will definitely be punished by God.
Jagan Reddy was re-elected from Pulivendula constituency in Kadapa district with a margin of 90,110 over his nearest rival S.V. Satish Kumar Reddy of Telugu Desam Party (TDP). In 2014, the YSRCP leader had defeated the same TDP candidate by 75,243 votes, which was also the highest in the state.
YSRCP, which stormed to power bagging 151 seats in the 175-member Assembly, will later submit a resolution to Governor E.S.L. Narasimhan to formally stake claim to form the government in the state.
