The ruling parties in Andhra Pradesh and the Center seems setting ground for a show off thanks to the promises made by rival Congress party at the time of bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh. The special status to Andhra Pradesh is going to become contentious between the TDP and BJP in the near future.
While the BJP, which supported the special status during bifurcation is now retracting itself citing the demands of similar nature from other states such as Tamil Nadu,bihar,jharkhand etc. The TDP helplessly watching the smoke and playing wait and watch song.
It is almost clear by this time that the central government is no more interested in granting special status to Andhra Pradesh. Alternatively it is promising a phase wise grants from various central departments.
The game is certainly about the credit. Though there is no election in the near future,both the parties seems apprehensive of each other in taking credit for any positive decision on the development of Andhra Pradesh. God bless you Andhra Pradesh!
