Centre told to fulfil promises to Andhra Pradesh

It said that many of the promises made to AP were not implemented.

Hyderabad: The draft resolution of the Telugu Desam has asked the Centre to implement the AP Reorganization Act and all promises made in Parliament. The Telugu Desam said that Andhra Pradesh is eligible for special category status and people are concerned about its denial.

The resolution will be passed at the Telugu Desam Mahanadu, the party event beginning in Tirupati on May 27. In the resolution the Telugu Desam mentioned 12 points regarding the Centre’s help to Andhra Pradesh. It said that many of the promises made to AP were not implemented. For capital construction so far only Rs 1050 crore has been given, it said.

The Telugu Desam also mentioned that the opposition wants the state to fight the Centre which will prove counterproductive as Andhra Pradesh has to depend on the Centre not only for capital construction but also to get its revenue deficit bridged and the Polavaram project.

Meanwhile, Rajyasbha Member K.V.P. Ramachandra has asked Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu to pass a resolution in Mahanadu regarding the special category status.
