In recent times, there have been statements from KCR, Kavitha and KTR promising all support to Andhra Pradesh in the State’s fight for Special Category Status.
But their hypocrisy has been unearthed courtesy of a statement made by their MP Vinod on the eve of monsoon session of Parliament.
“We will support only the implementation of promises made in the AP Re-organization Act and not anything else. Special Category Status is not mentioned in the AP Reorganisation Act,” said Vinod and added, “We will oppose any freebies given to Andhra Pradesh outside of the AP Re-Organisation Act. If AP is given SCS, all the industries will shift from Vijayawada to Andhra Pradesh. Even Jayalalitha had written to the Centre not to give SCS to AP.”
It is clear why the Telanganites are willing to support the implementation of AP Re-Organisation Act because it will be beneficial to them also and contains provisions for setting up several industries in Telangana.
But the thing that hurts the most is the TRS politicians exhibiting their cunningness in such a brazen manner. Vinod would have never made the statement without official sanction.
The sooner that Chandrababu puts aside his corruption and blind love for his son and starts developing Andhra Pradesh for real instead of in the media, the better it is for the Telugus. Or else, our brothers and sisters in Hyderabad will have to forever play second fiddle to the Telanganites which is like Chiranjeevi doing a side role in a small-time hero’s film.
