Jagan silent on injustice to A.P. in Union Budget: Sailajanath

‘BJP bent on pursuing its Hindutva ideology’
Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) president S. Sailajanath has questioned the “silence” of Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy on the “injustice done to the State in the Union Budget.”
Addressing the media here on Thursday, Dr. Sailajanath, while terming the BJP’s rule and policies as a continuation of the British regime, said the saffron party had blatantly announced the selling of the country’s natural assets to “a few rich and friends of the Prime Minister.”
“The BJP is out to sell the forests, the Railways, the airlines, and the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC). The BJP leaders seem to be happy with the money getting into the hands of the likes of Ambani and Adani,” the Congress leader alleged. When the Union Budget was silent on fulfilling the promises made and provisions in the A.P. Reorganisation Act of 2014, and on the Special Category Status or the Special Package, Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy did not speak a word, the APCC chief said.
