Actor turned politician Shivaji is consistently raising the issue of granting the special status to the residue State of Andhra Pradesh. After he is forcibly made to forego the hunger strike on the 4th day, people thought he would rest for a while. But Sivaji seems to have vowed to continue until the Centre responds positively on the issue.
Here is a 10-point questionnaire which Shivaji has for Union Minister Venkaiah Naidu.
1. Aren’t you trying to avoid giving special status by pushing the entire blame on Financial Committee?
2. When PM can use his special powers to grant special status within 5 minutes, aren’t you trying to give lame excuses?
3. Aren’t you (Venkaiah Naidu) lying on having tried for special status?
4. Is’t it true that you didn’t even spare 5 minutes for thinking on special status after you became the Union Minister?
5. You say our struggle is for publicity. Does that mean your struggle during Vishalandhra Movement was also only for publicity?
6. You went to jail during Jai Andhra Movement. Is it for publicity?
7. Aren’t you sacrifising the interests of the State only to be in the good books of Modi?
8. Does BJP actually have the desire to develop AP?
9. Why aren’t you speaking on behalf of AP?
10. Why are you diluting the issue and belittling people who are fighting for special status?
Do you also agree with Shivaji’s questions? Aren’t Venkaiah Naidu’s latest statements bluntly suggesting no special status for Andhra Pradesh? Do you think these questions would make impact when his hunger strike didn’t move the Centre even a bit?
