The central and state governments have to stop making false promises on special status. Dharnas will be held in every town and district for special status for Andhra Pradesh. The resignations by YSRCP MPs will force the TDP and BJP to follow suit.

The BJP and the TDP have cheated the people on special status. Both parties will meet the same fate as the Congress if special status is not accorded.

The decision of MPs resignation is a right one to force the central government. Strong protests are the need of the hour. The Left parties support the protests by YSRCP in getting special category status for Andhra Pradesh.
