"There should be a limit to political acrimony. He is doing politics over the matter of development. He should not go to the extent of saying that the BJP is attacking Andhra," Javadekar said.
It is believed that Naidu discussed the issue of Special Category Status (SCS), promised under the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2014, and the "injustice" met out to his state by the Centre.
The meetings that took place at the Central Hall of Parliament were aimed at garnering support for the no-confidence motion moved by the Telugu Desam Party (TDP).
The incident occurred minutes ahead of the arrival of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Friday night for the celestial wedding of Lord Rama as part of Rama Navami celebrations, resulting in chaos at the temple, a senior cop.
Her statement came in the wake of BJP president Amit Shah's letter to Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu and the latter hitting back at him.
The TDP leader alleged that BJP had done graver injustice to Andhra Pradesh than the Congress, hitting back at Amit Shah's letter released earlier today.
Hitting out at the Congress, Shah said the party not only mismanaged the bifurcation but also showed zero sensitivity towards the Telugu people.
Naidu also trained guns on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for using TDP’s rivals to weaken the party and politically destabilize the state.
"I welcome the TDP's decision to leave the NDA. The current situation warrants such action to save the country from disaster," the TMC supremo said in a tweet.
The party also moved a no-confidence motion against the Modi government over the injustice meted out to the state.
In the backdrop of the Centre's refusal to grant special category status to Andhra Pradesh, the YSR Congress today gave a notice for moving a no-confidence motion against the BJP-led NDA government.
The Telugu Desam Party, which pulled out of the Modi government this week, today said its alliance with the BJP was still on, though it was 'severely hurt' by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley's remarks on assistance to Andhra Pradesh.
The development comes a day after the two ministers met PM Narendra Modi and handed over their resignations in protest against refusal of the Centre to grant special category status to Andhra Pradesh.
The two TDP ministers in the government -- Civil Aviation Minister Ashok Gajapathi Rahu and Y S Chowdary -- met Prime Minister Narendra Modi this evening and handed over their resignation letters.
Party spokesperson GVL Narasimha Rao said the BJP sees the resignations of two TDP ministers as an inevitable outcome driven by the regional party's "political compulsions" ahead of the assembly polls in the state next year.
Yesterday, Naidu, who is the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) chief, announced that Y S Chowdary and Ashok Gajapathi Raju will quit the Union cabinet. He, however, had said the party would continue to be part of NDA.
Medical and Health Minister Srinivas Rao and Endowments Minister Manikyala Rao met the Chief Minister in his chamber in the Assembly and handed the letters of resignation to him.
The two ministers drove to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's residence and handed over their resignations in accordance with the party's decision to resign over the TDP's charge that the Centre was not granting special status to Andhra Pradesh.
According to sources, TDP has asked its two ministers YS Chowdary and Ashok Gajapati Raju to quit the Modi Cabinet if their demandsfor special status are not met.
"We will continue our fight for justice to Andhra Pradesh. If that doesn't happen, we will muster support from other parties and move the no-trust motion," the Telugu Desam Party president said.
