Amravati: A state-wide bandh would be held in Andhra Pradesh today by a people's forum, fighting for special category status to the state, pressing its demand with most opposition parties backing the call.
The bandh has been called by Andhra Pradesh Pratyeka Hoda Saadhana Samiti.
The opposition parties such as the YSR Congress (YSRC), Congress and the Left parties have extended support to the shutdown call, but the ruling TDP has opposed it.
Reacting to this, the YSRC accused the Chief Minister of adopting 'double standards'.
He said Mr Naidu should understand that bandh was a form of a democratic protest and he had no right to oppose it.
"Why this intimidation? As long as they are peaceful, we will continue all forms of democratic protests," Mr Rambabu added.
