Will tie up with BJP for special category status to AP: Jagan Mohan Reddy

[Kool_SRG]

It was stated that the recent friction between TD and BJP leaders could lay the ground for a YSRC tie-up with the BJP.

TIRUPATI: YSR Congress president Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy on Monday said the party was ready to go with the BJP in the 2019 elections if the Centre announced special category status to Andhra Pradesh.

He was speaking to a national news channel. Mr Reddy was repeating a statement he had made earlier, but this comes in the run-up to the elections. Besides, Mr Reddy had a surprise meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi some months ago. When asked, a senior YSRC president told this newspaper: "We have good relations with BJP, but it doesn't mean that we will join hands with it. It could be any national party that would benefit Andhra Pradesh by giving special category status.”

 

 

It was stated that the recent friction between TD and BJP leaders could lay the ground for a YSRC tie-up with the BJP. It was pointed out that AP Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu could only meet Mr Modi after a year. YSRC MP Vijaya Sai Reddy has also got appointments with the PM several times for one-on-one interactions. 

Naidu misleading people: Jagan
Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu had recently spoken of moving the Supreme Court if the Centre did not respond to the state government’s requests on pending assurances made in the AP Reorganisation Act.

“Mr Modi is having a positive attitude towards Mr Jagan Mohan Reddy. Mr Vijaya Sai Reddy is playing a crucial role in strengthening the party relations with national leaders,” said a top YSRC leader. In the interview, Mr Reddy said Mr Naidu was misleading the people as well as Mr Modi. 

He said the cases against him were lodged as a revenge by the Congress and Telugu Desam. “Until I was in the Congress, there were no cases against me,” he said.

‘Will support BJP if Andhra Pradesh gets special status’

 

REDDIGUNTA BADAVA (CHITTOOR) :

Throwing a spanner in the works of the TDP-BJP alliance in Andhra Pradesh, YSR Congresschief Y S Jaganmohan Reddy on Monday said that his party is ready to align with the BJP if the NDA government grants the Special Category Status (SCS) to AP.

"Our stand has been very clear. We have been insisting on SCS. It was promised to the people by both the ruling Congress and the Opposition BJP. But after coming to power, for reasons best known to (CM) Chandrababu Naidu, SCS has taken a back seat. Deprived of such a status, AP cannot compete with cities like Bengaluru, Chennai and Hyderabad. The infrastructure to match these cities cannot be provided unless there is SCS. Why would anybody come and invest in AP where there is no infrastructure? This is the reason we are very particular about the SCS," Jagan said in an interview to a private TV channel after taking a break from his padayatra here on Monday.

 

On a specific question whether he would support the BJP in the next election, Jagan said: "SCS is a promise. Prime Minister Modi has the authority to give SCS with the stroke of a pen. If BJP grants SCS, I am willing to support the BJP."

On another question about the corruption cases pending against him, the YSR Congress leader said that the cases were the conspiracy of the Congress and TDP. "Congress MLA P Shankar Rao filed the petition and later became aminister. Now, CM Chandrababu Naidu was caught offering money (in the cash for vote case) and no action is taken against him. Can this happen to a common man?" he asked.
