Protesting against the BJP-led NDA government's response to the demand for SCS to AP, YSRCP had issued notices for moving a no-confidence motion in Lok Sabha several times. The party MPs also gave up their Lok Sabha seats in protest, the YSRCP leader said. He pointed out that YSRCP would continue to fight for SCS to AP till it is granted.

The YSRCP leader called all the party leaders, workers and supporters to sport black dress to symbolically protest against the ways of State and Central governments. State CM Chandrababu Naidu and Prime Minister Narendra Modi were the villains as far as bifurcation promises not being fulfilled, he added.
