Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu has clarified that he accepted special financial package for the interest of the state. He further added that he hope the package will be good for state.
Naidu has been faced savior criticism from opposition parties for “failing” to secure the special category status for Andhra Pradesh. The special package announced by BJP-led NDA government at Centre last week includes full funding of Pollavaram irrigation project, tax concessions and a special assistance.
Andhra Pradesh suffered financially because of creation of separate state of Telengana in June 2014. BJP is an ally of TDP in Andhra Pradesh as well at Centre. Responding to the criticism of opposition parties, the Chief Minister said that I am not scared of any high command. Public is my high command. I fear only for the problems and that’s why I have accepted the special package.
