How Many More Should Die For SCS: MLA Roja

Tirupati: YSR Congress MLA RK Roja questioned the ruling TDP government as to how many more lives have to be sacrificed for the sake of Special Category Status (SCS) to Andhra Pradesh. She reminded the media persons that on earlier occasion when Munikoti committed suicide demanding SCS to AP, the state Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu's government was yet to give any kind of ex gratia to his family.

It has been reported that 26-year-old Sudhakar belonging to Madanapalle committed suicide demanding SCS to AP. In a suicide note that he left behind, Sudhakar had mentioned, 'SCS is our Right'. Talking to the media at Madanapalle near here today, Roja said, “Sudhakar's death was not a suicide but it was AP government's murder.”

She asked what had happened to the promises made in Tirupati by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chandrababu during the last election campaign. She said people who are fighting for SCS were being implicated in false cases by the TDP government. The TDP MPs were staging drama in Parliament and never demanded SCS, she added.
