CPI state secretary K Ramakrishna wrote a letter to the Chief Minister Chandra Babu Naidu asking their party to join hands. TDP, Congress, YSRCP too will be participating in the bandh. TDP MPs for the first time made their voice loud in the Parliament asking BJP to re-consider their decision; else their alliance with BJP will be re-considered.
