YSRCP chief and former Andhra Pradesh chief minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy on Tuesday requested Assembly Speaker C Ayyannapatrudu to recognise him as the leader of opposition and his party as the principal opposition party.

Reddy made this plea in a letter to the speaker.

“Law mandates that whichever party has the highest number of seats in the opposition should be recognised as the principal opposition,” Reddy said in the letter shared by YSRCP to PTI.
