Asserting that the fight for Special Category Status (SCS) would continue relentlessly, Leader of Opposition Y S Jaganmohan Reddy on Tuesday said the party MPs would raise the issue at various forums, including in Parliament and if need be, they would quit and seek a reelection to prove the intensity of the issue.
Addressing the youth at the Yuva Bheri at Kurnool, Jagan said there was no question of giving up the demand for special category status which was the future of the state.
“We cannot forego it but have to achieve it by a concerted effort. When people could achieve Telangana through sustained agitation why cannot we get the SCS, which was assured in the Parliament. The leadership has breached the faith of the people on this count and we have to put up a persistent fight to achieve the SCS,” he said.
“We will raise the issue at all available forums and our MPs will take up the issue in the Parliament with all the vigour and if no assurance comes in the ensuing budget session, our MPs will not go back in quitting their seats and seek reelection on the SCS plank,” he said.
