Centre opens treasury for Andhra Pradesh
Chandrababu Naidu's party TDP was earlier also a part of NDA. BJP and TDP fought the 2014 elections together. But on the issue of giving special state status to Andhra Pradesh, TDP broke ties with BJP and was constantly cornering BJP on this issue. This time before the elections, TDP again joined NDA. But the issue of special state is still alive in Andhra Pradesh. Now TDP's opposition party YSRCP is fanning the issue of special state status. The same situation is in Bihar as well. Nitish Kumar's party JDU was also a part of NDA earlier, then BJP-JDU separated and then both came together. The way JDU has constantly changed sides has been mocked. In Bihar too, this issue is big that Bihar should be given special state status. In Bihar, RJD is constantly raising this issue and JDU is also constantly forced to demand special state status.
That is why it did not get the status of a special state
But BJP has its compulsions. A BJP leader said in an informal conversation that the senior leadership of BJP does not believe in giving special state status to any state. This was the situation in 2019 and the thinking is the same now. That is why Andhra Pradesh was not given special state status earlier. The BJP leader said- Why does anyone ask for special state status, so that there is development and money comes there. When the central government's money can be given there by giving special packages and through other means, then what is the need for special state status. This thinking of BJP was also seen in the budget presented in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday. In the budget, many schemes of separate grants have been announced for Andhra Pradesh and Bihar.
