Hyderabad: Reiterating that Chandrababu Naidu has least concern for people’s issues and would pursue with his personal and political agenda, YSR Congress has demanded a categorical assurance on special status and MSP to farmers among other issues.
"Chief Minister has undertaken Delhi trips but the outcome was neither revealed nor anything tangible happened while the special category status remains a mirage and no purposeful statement was made on the procurement of farm produce," party senior leader Botsa Satyanarayana told reporters here on Saturday.
"People of the state have many hopes and aspirations on the special status and the assurances that have been included in the State Reorganisation Act but the outcome is a naught and TDP government should explain whether or not it is pursing to expedite the matter.
Union Minister Venkaiah Naidu and chief minister have been giving contradictory statements on the issues mentioned in the State Reorganisation Act which are sending confusing signals to the people.
Polavaram, which is the most important project which serves multiple purposes and there are no signs of any progress and the state should explain as to what is the progress on this count.
The state should also reveal whether it has discussed the issue with the Centre, if so what was the outcome.
In wake of the affidavit filed by the Central government on the levy, the State should implement the Swaminathan Committee recommendations in the true letter and spirit instead of lip service and issuing GOs which do not translate into action," he said adding that the facts and figures of procurement of paddy and other crops should be placed on public domain.
"The chief minister and the finance minister have been giving contradictory figures on growth rate and even by assumption of the figures, the indicators are not to be seen in the form of development anywhere in the state", he said.
