Delhi CM Shows Solidarity as TDP MPs Detained En Route PM’s House

The TDP had severed ties with the NDA after the Centre refused to grant special category status to Andhra Pradesh.

MPs from the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), demanding a special category status for Andhra Pradesh, were detained by police as they tried to march towards the Prime Minister’s residence in New Delhi on Sunday, 8 April.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal visited the MPs at the police station. He also took to Twitter to condemn the detention and express his support.
