Is the final self-goal by the BJP that will decimate the Party in Andhra Pradesh completely in 2019?
The saffron Party filed an affidavit in the Supreme Court this time stating that a railway zone to Vizag cannot be sanctioned as it is not financially viable.
Earlier, the BJP had denied a railway zone on the grounds that Odisha government was objecting to it but the Odisha government immediately gave a clarification saying it had no objection to a railway zone at Vizag.
The State BJP leaders are stunned, especially Vizag MP, K Hari Babu. Apparently, the impression was given to AP BJP leaders that the Centre following vehement criticism was on the verge of conceding the railway zone.
The leaders were hopeful of an announcement in Parliament in this regard and had made elaborate plans to go to Delhi and swamp the Central leadership with praise.
Now, they have been caught completely off guard with this affidavit filed in the Supreme Court by the Centre.
As for Hari Babu who won on the strength of the Modi wave last time in Vizag, it is an uphill task for him to win the confidence of the people of Vizag again.
