Andhra Pradesh Congress chief N Raghuveera Reddy said the delegation would hand over one crore signatures in support of special status to PM Modi.
Stepping up its agitation over special category status to Andhra Pradesh, the state Congress today said it would meet President Pranab Mukherjee, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other top leaders in Delhi.
As per the 'Chalo Delhi' programme, Congress leaders and activists would leave for Delhi tomorrow morning from Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh (AP) Express train, state Congress President N Raghuveera Reddy said.
They would stay in Delhi on March 14, 15 and 16 and meet President, Prime Minister, Vice President Hamid Ansari, Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan, Congress President Sonia Gandhi, party Vice-President Rahul Gandhi and also former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, he said.
The AP Congress delegation would hand over the one crore signatures collected by the party in support of the demands to the Prime Minister, Mr Reddy said, adding that Congress would try to mobilise support of other parties in the efforts.
It is high time the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government fulfilled the promises made to Seemandhra (new Andhra Pradesh), including special category status, completing the multi-purpose Polavaram irrigation project, provision of funds for building the state's capital city among others, he said.
The promise of special category status was made on the floor of Parliament by then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh when the bill for formation of Telangana was passed in 2014.
AP Congress has undertaken campaigns like collection of one crore signatures, sending one crore SMSes to Union Ministers from AP and filing "police cases" against top leaders of Telegu Desam Party-BJP alliance for allegedly betraying the people by not implementing its promises.
