Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) State official Spokesperson G. Bhanu Prakash Reddy on Thursday flayed the opposition leaders for their statements downplaying the special package to Andhra Pradesh and against Union Minister M. Venkaiah Naidu.
Talking to the media here on Thursday, ahead of Mr. Venkaiah Naidu’s visit to Tirupati on October 1, Mr. Reddy said that the opposition leaders had been making such statements just to stay in the limelight.
