YSR Congress party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy would be misleading the people if he claimed that he would fetch special category status to the state during his tenure.
This was the opinion of senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader and spokesperson S Vishnu Vardhan Reddy.
He told reporters that there was absolutely no scope for the Centre granting special category status to AP.
“If Jagan claims he will secure the status to AP, he will only be fooling the people, as the Centre has been rejecting the demand time and again,” he said.
Vishnu Vardhan Reddy also made a sensational declaration that the BJP would be growing as the potential alternative to the YSR Congress party in Andhra Pradesh by 2024 and capturing power in the state.
“Several MLAs and senior leaders of various parties are in touch with the BJP leadership and the party is going emerge as a strong opposition in the coming days,” Reddy said.
He predicted that there would be serious internal turmoil in the Telugu Desam Party shortly and it would witness a split very soon. The BJP would fill the void created in the state, he said.
