Rajampet: Former YSR Congress Party MP Mithun Reddy said Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu was discriminating against YSR Kadapa disctrict. Intensifying the party's protest for a steel factory in the district, he said that Chandrababu had wasted his tenure. The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leaders are trying to mislead people with their fake protests for the steel factory, he criticized. After four years of romance with the BJP, the TDP leaders are now pretending to fight for the steel factory, he said.

If the TDP leaders are really concerned about the steel factory, they should stage a protest in Delhi, he challenged. The only party to have fought endlessly for the Special Category Status (SCS) for Andhra Pradesh is YSRCP. The party will begin the process of setting up the Kadapa steel factory soon after coming to power, he promised. YSRCP leaders had raised a demand for the Kadapa steel factory in the Parliament on several ocassions, while the TDP leaders were keeping mum on the issue. The development of Andhra Pradesh is possible only with YSRCP under the leadership of Leader of Opposition YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, the former MP remarked.
