Accordingly 2018 budget presented by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley is termed as disappointment by the TDP, the ally of BJP which is partner in NDA. TDP MP Ram Mohan Naidu expressed deep shock, angst over 'raw deal' for the successor state of Andhra Pradesh. Meanwhile Ram Mohan Naidu stated that Chandrababu Naidu is the only Chief Minister who traveled to Delhi most of the times and did his best to put pressure on Centre. However, the state has been 'neglected' by the Union Government, opined Ram Mohan Naidu.
Ram Mohan Naidu who spoke to media in Delhi told "Chandrababu Naidu was insulted for often traveling to Delhi. But he was unfazed as he was working for the progress of the state. But not bothering anything about new state of Andhra Pradesh is the example of how BJP ignoring AP. Meanwhile as a disciplinary party, we are committed to the alliance dharma and they are waiting for the response of our leader".
