Congress fights for special status and also opposes it

Once again, the Congress party seems to be started playing double game with the people of the AP state. The Congress leaders of the state are spearheading with agitations, deekshas, rallies, signature programs demanding special status to the AP state. They are strongly criticizing the ruling NDA government for not granting special status to the state and also criticizing the ruling TDP government for not pressurizing the NDA government for it. They even fought for it in the parliament. So, it is understood that the Congress party is wholeheartedly demanding special status to the AP state.

But, it’s MP from Telangana state, Gutta Sukhendar Reddy is strongly opposing granting of special status to the AP state. He argues that it will encourage the industrialists to shift their shops from Telangana state to the AP state to get the benefits of the special status. He also wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi suggesting him not to grant special status to the AP state. He argues that Andhra Pradesh state condition is much better than the Telangana in all aspects except not having a capital city.

Gutta Sukhendar Reddy may justify his arguments as he belongs to the Telangana state, but he should also remember that he belongs to the Congress party that separates the state and promised the people of the AP state for special status and is also currently fighting for it. If, the Congress leaders of the AP state prefer to ignore his statement and letter to the Prime Minister, then their intentions and honesty behind their fight for the special status is also need to be suspected.
