Well, keeping in mind the present situation there is no kind of sign that the Centre will be willing to grant the special status to Andhra Pradesh. However, the special status was promised by the UPA government and the NDA government is almost going to decline this request of special status.
Addressing the media, Cabinet Minister Venkaiah Naidu said “Congress party has simply made the promise before quitting the government as if to gain some political mileage out of it. But, we are trying to convince all the states to allow us to grant special status to the AP State as their consent is mandatory."
Venkaiah Naidu also added" It may take some to get a clear picture about this matter. But, opposition parties are trying to politicize this issue despite knowing about the process of according special status to any state." So, what do you think?
The Union Minister Sujana Chowdary said “The purpose of getting special status for the state is to get incentives and subsides for industrial promotion. So, it is not that important whether the state gets special status or not, but getting incentives and subsidies for industrial promotion is more important. So, we are trying to convince the Centre to grant maximum incentives and subsidies for our industrial promotion.”
