Hyderabad, July 17 (IANS) The YSR Congress Party on Monday announced its support to NDA vice-presidential candidate M. Venkaiah Naidu.
Party President Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy conveyed this to BJP President Amit Shah when the latter telephoned him, seeking YSRCP's support.
YSRCP, the main and lone opposition party in Andhra Pradesh, supported NDA candidate Ram Nath Kovind for the post of President in the election held on Monday.
