Ramachandraiah flays CM over Special Category Status

Tirupati: Senior Congress leader and former Minister C Ramachandraiah criticised Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu for making contradictory statements on Special Category Status (SCS). 

He alleged that Naidu was making such comments only to derive benefit in 2019 elections. Speaking to the media here on Wednesday, Ramachandraiah said the Chief Minister earlier remained silent when the Opposition parties demanded granting SCS to State. The Chief Minister earlier said the special package was better than Special Status, he pointed out.

Ramachandraiah wanted Jana Sena president Pawan Kalyan to clarify his political stand. The Congress party will organise Andhrula Aatmgourava Sabha in Chittoor on Thursday. Congress party town president Mallikarjun, Savithramma, Prameelamma and others were present.
