The leaders of the YSR Congress have asked President Ram Nath Kovind to de-recognize the TDP.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>YSR Congress leader and Member of Parliament V Vijayasai Reddy, who was part of the delegation said: &#8220;All our MPs met President today and explained to him the filthy language used by TDP functionaries, particularly Chandrababu Naidu, his son Lokesh and spokesperson Pattabhi against our party and leader Jagan Mohan Reddy. We&#8217;ve requested the President to derecognize TDP.&#8221;</p>
