On November 19, 2021, Chandrababu Naidu in an emotional speech as Leader of the Oppositon, announced that he was walking out of the House protesting against the unparliamentarily remarks made by YSRCP leaders against his family members. He told the House, “I am walking away from here and will enter the House as the chief minister of this state.”
