VIJAYAWADA: Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Sunday demanded that the Centre must grant special category status to the state, asserting that there would be “no compromise” on that.
“Bifurcation (of erstwhile Andhra Pradesh) was something that we hadn’t wished for. Hence, the Centre should liberally aid our state,” the chief minister said, addressing a meeting on the May Day celebration here.
“The previous UPA government promised special category status to AP for five years but we wanted it for ten years. It is the responsibility of the Centre to fulfil that,” he asserted.
