Janasena President Pawan Kalyan was fighting with Seema Andhra MPs last week for not striving enough for the Special Status promised to the Andhra Pradesh. This week he had directed his anger on to Congress party which is not putting up a fight on this issue.
He satirically criticized the opposition party for solely sticking to the Lalit Modi issue to pin down Congress. “I love Congress! I adore Congress! for their Zeal, for their Fervour, for their Passion to take on BJP Govt merely for ‘ONE LALIT MODI’Issue than to fight for their Promise to deliver SPECIAL STATUS to ‘FiFTY MILLION SEEMANDHRAS.’ Hail Congress! (sic)”.
The then UPA government promised Special Status to Andhra Pradesh for 5 years. They did not incorporate it in to the Reorganization Act and instead, made the then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh make a statement in the floor of the house. BJP promised Special Status for 10 years before the elections but now is blaming Congress for not keeping it in the Act. Both the parties have left the past behind and left the truncated state at cross roads.
