TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu has written to various parties and sought their support for the no-confidence motion his party seeks to move in Parliament against the government over the "injustice" meted out to Andhra Pradesh due to non-fulfilment of promise of granting special status to the state.
Parliamentary Affairs minister Ananth Kumar said that the prime minister today sought the cooperation of all political parties for the smooth functioning of Parliament and a productive session. "People of India want Parliament to function...The entire country expects and hopes the Parliament will function and debate over issues of national interest," he said.
During the meeting, AAP leader Sanjay Singh raised the issue of alleged discrimination by the Centre against the Delhi government and hoped the prime minister will address the issue.
