Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) working president N. Thulasi Reddy has flayed the decision to name the ancient Kadapa district as ‘YSR’ district and demanded that the name ‘Kadapa’ be added to it.
“The name Kadapa has been in vogue for the district since 1808. The then government gave in to sentiment in 2009 and named it after YSR to keep emotions alive. In spite of repeated pleas to add Kadapa, it paid no heed. The name ‘YSR District’ will not augur well for us,” he said.
