The onus of conferring special status on Andhra Pradesh by taking everyone on board is on the Modi Government, says Karnataka Minister and Congress spokesman Dinesh Gundu Rao. On the Karnataka Chief Minister opposing special status to Andhra Pradesh, he said each State might have its concerns, but at the all-India level it is for the Centre to keep its promise.
The UPA Prime Minister had promised it on the floor of the House. The BJP, the TDP, and the YSRCP, then in the Opposition, had demanded it.
“If the NDA Government cannot do it, it is for the present Prime Minister to admit it in Parliament and say we are taking it back,” he told reporters here on Wednesday.
