Telangana BJP floor leader Kishan Reddy made some shocking comments against the demand for special status for Andhra Pradesh. The promise was made by BJP at the time of the formation of the Telangana state. Since then there is no response about it though many AP leaders demanded it in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha. A few national leaders stated that the special category status was impossible.
However, Kishan Reddy’s comments on the demand for AP special status were shocking and extremely irresponsible, to say the least. He said, “AP special category status could lead to unrest in India. Narendra Modi didn’t know anything about special status at that time but only read it out which was on the paper given by someone,” he said.
Kishan Reddy said that AP received more financial assistance than Telangana in the past four years. Having said and done, how could Kishan Reddy say that a Prime Ministerial Candidate, Narendra Modi knew nothing about special categories at the time?
