The union government's U turn on giving special status to Andhra Pradesh appears to be something like a betrayal. Everybody is still aware of union minister Venkaiah Naidu's words in Rajya Sabha prior to the general elections. The BJP high command didn't hesitate to promise an extension of special status to new Andhra Pradesh upto 10 years. Finally, they turned down their promise. This has, eventually, turned the biggest blow to AP's growth financially. Heard that many industrialists stepped back hearing the news of no special status is given to AP. This is a pathetic situation.
Situation turns even more worse as the AP CM Chandrababu Naidu stopped demanding AP's special status and restricts his demands only to seek some funds to AP, which are not anyway, fulfill the needs of AP's financial requirements. Unfortunately, some of the yellow party's media houses have also never tried to demand special status to AP. All and all it appears Cbn and AP media turned against AP's special status. Wish that they should wake up and raise a revolt on war foot basis to pressurize center to announce special status to AP.
