Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Parliament complex and sought special category status for the state. He also discussed about pending projects and demands. Reddy, who swept the 2019 state polls riding on the issue of special category status, has held several meetings with the prime minister and Union Home Minister Amit Shah over the issue in the past.
With the Congress gaining ground in Andhra Pradesh and the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) likely to tie up with the BJP, Reddy has rushed to the national capital to make a last-ditch effort. The special category status is one of the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, which led to the formation of Telangana in June 2014.
Jagan's visit to the national capital comes days after TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu met Shah and BJP president J P Nadda for talks on possible tie up with the saffron party in Andhra Pradesh for the Lok Sabha and assembly polls in the state. The general and state assembly polls are likely to be held simultaneously in Andhra Pradesh before May.
