Nothing was given to Andhra Pradesh as per the AP Reorganisation Act; he pointed out. He said that the YSRCP led by party supremo Jaganmohan Reddy had started the agitation over the last three years to pressurise the Centre to accord SCS to the State.
He reiterated that the SCS only solution for the development of Andhra Pradesh. He questioned the Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu who dragged on four years time in the name of Special Package, and why he changed his voice towards SCS?. “over the last four years, all parties are demanding the SCS in the State, whereas the Chief Minister Chandrababu surrendered to the Centre all these days. As all parties and people came on roads, the TDP with a fear of the effect of their vote bank raised the voice on SCS”, he lamented. The workers and leaders raised slogans against the Centre and State for their failure in getting the SCS. The City Congress President Rajanala Rama Mohan Rao, AITUC (CPI) leader K Krishnamacharyulu and other leaders extended solidarity to the agitation.
