It looks like the centre would give a special package to the state of Andhra Pradesh to please the CM Chandrababu Naidu who is the main supporter of the BJP Government at the centre.
The Special Category Status (SCS) for Andhra Pradesh, however, does not figure in the wish list of Chandrababu Naidu. This morning he met Minister Piyush Goel over breakfast and appraised him of the situation in the state of AP.
Babu will also meet Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Union Finance Minister Nirmala Seetharaman.“In his meeting with Sitharaman, he will present a report on the Polavaram irrigation project, the development of the capital city of Amaravati and the financial situation of the state,
As states including Odisha and Bihar have been demanding the Special Category Status too, the TDP dispensation thinks it would be best to ask for special financial packages for the state instead of SCS, they said.
“NDA election campaign mainly promised financial packages for the state and not SCS,” a TDP leader said. Chandrababu will meet PM Modi on Thursday morning and seek “financial assistance for the state”.
