Behind The Scene: AP BJP's Clever Defense!

“We have allotted an AIIMS to Andhra Pradesh. The foundation stone for an IIM in Vizag has been laid and there is also an IIT to come up. So, how can you say that the NDA is neglecting AP?” questioned a BJP MLA.  

This is a clever question by him. What he said is absolutely true. But these were actually decisions proposed during the tenure of the UPA government itself.

A special committee constituted by the Union HRD Ministry recommended that the number of elite institutions in the country be expanded to all parts in a proportional manner in tune with the growing population and developmental needs. So, the BJP merely put this recommendation in practice.

Hence Karnataka which has IIM Bangalore is all set to get an IIT.  Even Tamil Nadu and Assam are getting AIIMS. There is nothing wrong in this!

The point is the BJP claiming exclusive credit from AP while clubbing the State along with others as part of its pre-determined development plan.
