Chandrababu in the three-hour TDPP meeting on Sunday expressed his displeasure strongly on the Budget allocation for AP where it was even indicated the TDP reviewing its alliance with the BJP.

The Chief Minister asserted that it was time to raise their voices as it is their responsibility to protect the interests of the state.

Chandrababu, however, said it was necessary to take time as the state requires Central support being newly born but added that he is not scared of cases being filed against him as is charged by the Opposition, instead his main concern is only the interests of AP.
