Andhra Pradesh Special Status

In a deft move, the Narendra Modi government on Tuesday managed to strike a balance as it announced a liberal allocation for Bihar in the Union Budget without yielding ground on the state's demand for a 'special status/package'.

Modi 3.0's Budget 2024: What Key Allies Nitish Kumar, Chandrababu Naidu Get

Congress's Jairam Ramesh today said in the all-party meeting ahead of parliament's budget session, demands for special category status for Bihar and Andhra Pradesh were raised.

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy on Friday said TDP supremo N Chandrababu Naidu, Janasena chief Pawan Kalyan and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who failed to accord special category status to the state have come together again.

TDP was a part of NDA in 2014 but quit the ruling alliance in March 2018 before the 2019 elections on the issue of special status to Andhra Pradesh. However, both parties came together after the recent municipal elections in Port Blair.

The ongoing dispute with Telangana over river Krishna waters and implementation of promises made to the state under the AP Reorganisation Act are some of the main issues that the YSR Congress will raise in the ensuing monsoon session of Parliament.

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy on Friday admitted that the ruling party was unable to prevail upon the Centre to get special category status for the State as the BJP-led NDA government enjoyed majority in the Lok Sabha.

The Centre should make credit available at lower costs for infrastructure building and also for boosting (industrial) manufacturing as prohibitive costs (of debt) have become the major impediment to growth, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy said on Saturday.

Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy met Union Home Minister Amit Shah in the national capital on Tuesday and discussed various issues related to Andhra Pradesh, including the demand for granting special category status to the state, in a meeting which lasted close to 45 minutes.

The Congress on Wednesday accused the government of betraying the people of Andhra Pradesh by denying ''special category status'' to the state and said Prime Minister Narendra Modi is "trampling upon Constitutionalism" by disregarding the promise made by his predecessor Manmohan Singh.

The YSR Congress Party is unlikely to accept the post of Deputy Speaker of Lok Sabha as it does not want to be seen aligned with the BJP-led ruling NDA until the Narendra Modi government fulfil its demand of granting special status to Andhra Pradesh, a senior leader of the party said today.

Telugu Desam Party president N Chandrababu Naidu on Thursday said his party "will be back" and crises were nothing new to it after four of his six Rajya Sabha lawmakers joined the BJP.

Noting that there were no impediments at all, the Andhra Pradesh assembly on Tuesday adopted a resolution requesting the Centre to confer the special category status (SCS) with all financial benefits and industrial incentives without further delay.

Andhra Pradesh's new chief minister Jagan Mohan Reddy met Union Home Minister Amit Shah this evening over the special status demand for his state, a day ahead of the NITI Aayog meet that will be chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during his visit to the temple town of Tirupati yesterday, praised Andhra Pradesh as a state with "infinite possibilities for growth"
