TDP MP turns Hitler

New Delhi, Aug 09: In a unique protest, Telugu Desam Party (TDP) MP Naramalli Sivaprasad on Thursday disguised himself as German dictator Adolf Hitler to protest in Parliament along with other members of the party over the demand for special status for Andhra Pradesh.

As the TDP leaders protested in front of the Mahatma Gandhi statue, Sivaprasad - donning a Nazi uniform, toothbrush moustache and a stick in hand - enacted Hitler while urging his fellow party members to take a stand against the Centre.

However, the MP's style of protests are unique, as he has dressed himself as a number of mythological characters such as Lord Rama, Lord Krishna, Naradmuni, and even characters of historical significance such as Adolf Hitler. One time, he even came to parliament dressed as a schoolboy.

A doctor by profession, Sivaprasad has acted in movies too. He became a lawmaker in 1999 and has served in Andhra Pradesh Chief Minsiter N. Chandrababu Naidu's cabinet as a minister.

As part of the protest, TDP leaders brought various placards featuring Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chandrababu Naidu's photograph on it. Meanwhile, some placards had "We want Special Status for Andhra Pradesh" written over it.

The Centre and the ruling TDP have been at loggerheads for the past few months over the issue.
