Chandrababu Naidu to seek support of other parties against Centre over special status

March 03, 2018 21:01

As TDP's March 5 deadline for the NDA government to get Andhra Pradesh its 'special status' nears an end and promises remain unfulfilled, the party has declared an all-out war against the BJP-led Centre.

A move that could have political implications ahead of the 2019 general elections, TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu has decided to approach all major political parties to seek their support and unite them on the issue of Andhra Pradesh getting special category status.

TDP MP Galla Jayadev said, "The party has decided to write letters to all party presidents and floor leaders in the Parliament, explaining them the situation and seeking their support to get what was promised on the floor of the House at the time of bifurcation."

"The issue has already become something of national importance and the fight is not just about justice for Andhra Pradesh, but concerns every state. It highlights the concern that if the Centre promises something, can the states believe it? Should it not be implemented in its true spirit?" Jayadev added.
