The TDP-led NDA in Andhra Pradesh on Tuesday decided not to contest the MLC bye-election for the Visakhapatnam Local Authorities constituency.

The decision was taken by the TDP President and Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, who conveyed the same to the party and alliance leaders during a teleconference.

CM Naidu is understood to have told the TDP leaders that winning the election was not a big issue but the alliance would act with dignity.
