KCR flays parties for politicising Special Status issue

Hyderabad: Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao expressed concern over the ruling TDP, BJP and other parties in Andhra Pradesh politicising the issue of ‘Special Status’ and making people the final victims on the sensitive issue.

1. Says PM Modi should fulfill his assurance if he promised to provide Special Category Status for AP
2. The TS CM describes the decision of some parties to move no-confidence motion against NDA govt as ‘silly’

Speaking to newsmen at his camp office Pragati Bhavan here on Saturday, Chandrashekar Rao demanded the political parties should come out clear on the special issue first. Prime Minister Narendra Modi should fulfill his assurance if he promised Special Category Status for Andhra Pradesh, he said. If not, the Prime Minister and political parties should also clarify their stand on the issue.

Lack of sincerity in political parties on special status has put people under big trouble and the state landed in deep crisis, he said. He stressed the need to give up such cheap politics and bring a change in the political system. To a query, KCR said the idea to move no-confidence motion against BJP-led NDA at the Centre by Andhra parties was a ‘silly‘ political attempt. His party is against no trust motion, the TS Chief Minister clarified.
