Parties criticise Modi’s statement; needle him on SCS
The Bharatiya Janata Party seems to have forgotten that it was part of passing the A.P. Bifurcation Act in Parliament and had celebrated it with its late leader Sushma Swaraj and the then party MP M. Venkaiah Naidu, even demanding 10 years of Special Category Status (SCS) for the residual State, said Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee president Sake Sailajanath.
The entire speech looked targeted at Telangana and the politics there, but Mr. Modi should remember that Mr. Venkaiah Naidu had even published a book taking credit for the entire process. “What happened to Mr. Modi’s pre-poll promise at Tirupati meeting of giving SCS and building a Delhi-like Capital,” Dr. Sailajanath questioned.
Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy must speak about it and strongly pitch for SCS and financial package and the Congress will support him in Parliament, the APCC chief said.
