The TDP leader made provoking statements and said that today is an unforgettable in AP history. Chief Minister said that the way the state got divided was most painful and emphasized the need to rebuild the state. As the counter part is celebrating formation day, the AP CM termed it a “Dark Day” in the history of Navyandhra Pradesh. Quoting the example of countries that collapsed in World War II he said that they were rebuilt and are a role model today. He said that the development of Navyandhra should be done with the same spirit . He critiqued that the congress government boasted that it will build a city better than Delhi in AP. The CM repeatedly said that the division of the state was not rational and that there is no point in feeling sad.
