Amidst the demand for Special status in Andhra Pradesh state, there were many announcements by the Centre that it is looking into the issue and has concluded that there would be no special status, Union Minister Nirmala Sitaraman slashed those comments and assured that Special status will be given now or later but will be granted.

She promised that the Centre is working really hard to implement the Special Status to the state with several other arguments with other states. Speaking at a conference, Nirmala said that Centre will abide by its word. She pointed out few states that are questioning the need of special status to AP, while the Centre is answering them.

She said that the Centre released an amount of Rs 2203 crores to Andhra Pradesh as part of the capital fund. She said ” The TDP leaders are under pressure and we are able to feel it. So, we are not faulting the TDP leaders at all.” So, what do you think are these comments like? Do they bring new hope to AP?
