Andhra Pradesh Prathyeka Hoda Sadhana Samithi or special category status (SCS) council decided to conduct protests in the state demanding SCS on 25th of this month. CPI, CPM, YSRCP and Loksatta party representatives participated in the round table conference. Samithi convener Chalasani Srinivas said that everyone should collectively struggle for accomplishing the status. The Samithi will hold protests and conduct rallies with intellectuals and students in Vijayawada on 25thMay.
Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy who met Prime Minister Narendra Modi also said that they cannot ignore the SCS as AP cannot compete with other states unless the status is accorded. However, his actions were differed from his word. Nonetheless YCP participated in the meeting of the council.
It may be recalled that Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee President N. Raghuveera Reddy last week said that many as 14 parties supported the Special Category Status. Congress will apparently hold a public meeting in Vijayawada where Party’s vice-president Rahul Gandhi will highlight the injustice meted out to the State.
As the parties unite for protesting SCS, the state might likely witness some action again demanding status.
