BJP proves to be an ally

• Chandrababu’s deception surfaces again
• Private member bill is pushed aside in the parliament
• YSRCP MPs insist on sanction of special status

New Delhi: The collective effort of BJP and TDP to deceive people in the matter of AP’s special status has surfaced. They successfully pushed aside the private bill introduced in the parliament in this regard and called it quits.

What has happened in the parliament?

As expected earlier, the private member bill introduced in favour of sanction of special status to AP came to discussion in the Rajya Sabha. Finance minister Arun Jaitley spoke to say that this was a money bill and voting on it in the Rajya Sabha was not allowed. TDP neither resisted this unjust statement nor condemned it. The party has not tried to insist on its sanction, in spite of it being a wonder drug for the state. Moreover, cabinet minister Sujana Chowdary, in spite of being a member of Rajya Sabha, chose to join the team that opposed the bill. At that time, YSRCP MP Vijay Sai Reddy protested and insisted on granting of special status, reflecting YSRCP’s struggle for the cause. Speaking to the media later, he remarked that TDP and BJP Governments lacked commitment towards special status. He opined that BJP and TDP would meet the same fate as Congress when it had lost people’s trust.

YSRCP’s relentless fight in the parliament

YSRCP MPs showed protest in the campus of the parliament in demand for special status. They staged a dharna near the statue of Mahatma Gandhi, raising slogans in demand for justice. They exhibited placards to bring their struggle to the notice of the national leaders. They reminded how YSRCP had always been fighting for achievement of special status. They spoke about the significance of special status in improvement of industrial and employment sectors in the state. YSR Congress Parliamentary Party leader Mekapati Rajamohan Reddy led the team of MPs in their agitation. They cautioned Chandrababu that people would not forgive him if special status was not given.

The struggle shall continue 

YSRCP has announced that its struggle for special status shall continue. It is going to continue its fight inside the parliament and outside too. It is consolidating the pertaining action plan further.
