YSR Congress party President Jagan Mohan Reddy has celebrated Andhra Pradesh Formation Day at his party office, Hyderabad today.

Later, addressing his party leaders, “It is unfortunate that Chandrababu Naidu government has changed the AP Formation Day from November 1st to June 2nd, ignoring the great sacrifices of Potti Sriramulu and others. Chandrababu Naidu seems has no idea or interest about our history, otherwise he will not dare to change the formation day,” said Jagan Mohan Reddy.

He further said “Although, Chattisgarh, Jharkhand and Uttarakhand states are separated from Madhya Pradesh, Bihar and Uttar Pradesh simultaneously, the residuary states have not changed their formation days. But, Chandrababu Naidu simply changed the formation day to June 2nd without considering all these aspects.”

“Actually, Telangana state that separates and emerged as 29th state in the country has to observe June 2nd as its formation day, but not the residuary AP state. Hence, we are celebrating AP Formation Day today and I demand Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu to revoke his decision and declare November 1st as AP Formation Day, otherwise, when our party comes into power, will definitely change it,” said Jagan Mohan Reddy.
