It’s already 26 months since the bifurcation of AP, but nothing has been done on the assurance given in AP Reorganization Act promising special status for AP. We demand the NDA government to address the issue. We have waited far too long for special status.

Speaking in the house, YV Subba Reddy, YSRCP MP, said: “It’s already 26 months since the bifurcation of AP, but nothing has been done on the assurance given in AP Reorganization Act promising special status for AP. We demand the NDA government to address the issue. We have waited far too long for special status.”

However, the NDA government didn’t answer the questions raised by YSRCP MPs in the house. MPs staged a walkout as mark of protest against the silence of the NDA government.
