AP betrayed by both the parties, Jagan at ITC New Delhi, March 2nd: 'Andhra Pradesh has received a raw deal and has been betrayed by both the parties. If the Parliament gives its word and does not keep it, then what can you say in a democracy? My state was bifurcated against the wishes of people. At that time, all the parties came together, promised Special Category Status and carried out bifurcation behind closed doors. The telecast was blacked out.', said YSR Congress Party President YS Jagan Mohan Reddy at India Today Conclave on Saturday.
When asked about which party YSRCP will support during or after the elections, Jagan said that we will remain neutral. Only Special Category Status is important for us. Give us SCS (Special Category Status), we will support you. It doesn't matter who becomes the PM.
Did the Centre not know the problems of states such as Chattisgarh, Odisha and others at the time of bifurcation of the state. However, in AP's case there was the pre-condition of SCS before bifurcation which we thought would be honoured, Jagan said.
