Andhra a victim of ugly politics

It is now official. The Andhra Pradesh government is almost reconciling to the fact that special category status and special packages are not going to come for the residuary state of Andhra Pradesh, despite political promises in Parliament and outside. Sujana Chowdary called a spade a spade when he said that the State has to avail of central funds in other ways, making it inherently clear that the promises made to the post-bifurcation Andhra Pradesh are a hoax. Then came the bombshell from none other than M Venkaiah Naidu himself who in fact championed the cause of the state when the UPA introduced the bifurcation bill and the then principal opposition party, BJP, supported it.
