YSRCP supports NDA's Presidential candidate

Vijayawada, June 19: The Andhra Pradesh Opposition Party YSRCP has announced its support to NDA's candidate Ram Nath Kovind for the post of President here on Monday.

The YSR Congress party made the announcement after BJP president Amit Shah spoke to its leader YS Jaganmohan Reddy over the phone.

Soon after BJP announced the candidature of Kovind, Shah contacted Jagan and sought his party's support.

YSRCP chief declared his party's support to the NDA candidate.

"I and my party, wholeheartedly support the candidature of Sri Ram Nath Kovind Ji, Dalit leader, and a fine Statesman, as a Presidential nominee," Jagan tweeted.
