Telugu Desam Party (TDP) supremo N Chandrababu Naidu on Thursday criticised Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy for dropping or shifting sitting MLAs belonging to only backward classes.

The former Chief Minister asked why only BC MLAs of the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) are being dropped or shifted while those from Reddy community are being allowed to contest again.

Naidu was reacting to Jagan dropping as many as 13 sitting MLAs in the two lists of candidates announced for coming Assembly elections.
