Naidu Gave Up Special Status Demand, Finally!

Naidu Gave Up Special Status Demand, Finally!

Telugu Desam Party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu has officially shelved the demand for special category status completely, which is evident from his thanks-giving call made to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

“It is now clear that Naidu has given up the demand for special category status and is happy with the package. Naidu’s call to Modi is an indication that special status has been shelved in lieu of Polavaram project which is a total sell out,” YSR Congress party leader Botsa Satyanarayana said.

He said the Polavaram contract being transferred to State has been a breach of the state reorganization act and it was bartered with special status and the state has lost on both counts.

Polavaram has been a Central project which it has promised to build after getting all clearances but it was taken by the state to pursue its commercial agenda.

“The shifting responsibility of completing Polavaram project from Centre to State has been a total sell out and Chandrababu Naidu thanking the Prime Minister for it shows that Chandrababu Naidu has been placing his personal agenda ahead of state interests,” he said.
