CPI (M) leader Sitaram Yechury today visited Andhra Pradesh Bhavan here and extended his support to YSR Congress Party legislators who have sat on a hunger strike demanding special category status to the state.
Yechury's visit came on the second day of the hunger strike.
Addressing the YSR Congress Party members present there, Yechury said he was not visiting them "to get appreciation. This is our duty and responsibility."
On the TDP first allying and now moving away from the BJP, Yechury said: "We asked TDP why they were again getting into alliance with BJP after being out of power for 10 years in the united AP following the previous alliance."
