YSR Congress party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy said he had no faith both in Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Congress president Rahul Gandhi.
At the India Today Conclave in New Delhi, he said he was sick and tired of trusting people as they do not deliver on their promise.
“We don’t want to trust anybody. We will say - you give us special category status to AP and we will support your alliance," he said.
When the anchor asked him who was lesser evil between Modi and Rahul, Jagan said both of them had stabbed him.
On Modi, Jagan said: “You are the PM – you are in the position to honour the commitment to give special category status to Andhra Pradesh. But you have not done it.”
On Rahul, the YSRC president said the Congress should not have done what they they had done: bifurcation of the state against the wishes of the people.
Both INC and BJP came together to bifurcate the state, and promised SCS in the Parliament. They should have stayed true to the promise which they made on the floor of the Parliament
“I will support the leader who understands that a word given in Parliament means something, and that the state of Andhra Pradesh has been deprived of special category status, which is their right,” he said.
He said his party would remain neutral in the national politics.
“We are not aligned with any national party and want to keep our option open,” he said.
He said the Congress has evaporated in Andhra Pradesh and it is a non-player in the state.
“We don’t need the Congress, they probably will need us. It does not have confidence in itself. They are tying up with TDP without any morals or ethics,” he criticised.
