Naidu to keep alive fight for Special Category Status
What has happened?
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu said he was undeterred by the offensive that BJP leaders have threatened to launch against the Andhra Pradesh government, and asserted that their brand of ‘divisive politics’ that succeeded in Tamil Nadu would fail here
- He vowed to keep the fight alive for Special Category Status (SCS) which was the State’s right.
- Naidu reiterated that he did not ask for anything beyond what was promised under the A.P. Reorganisation Act (APRA) and the assurances that were given on the floor of the Rajya Sabha in response to demands raised by M. Venkaiah Naidu and ArunJaitley. But the BJP backed off from its commitment
