Jagan explains special status benefits
A large number of public gathered at the venue and Jagan explained the details of special status, like how can it benefit to the state and how does the employment opportunities increase and all.
He said, “If a state has special status, it can get 90% funds as grants, which need not be payed back to the Centre.
Moreover, new industries come forward, as they would get permissions and discounts easily, to set up the industries in the state. As new industries comes, there would be scope for the increase in the employment opportunities and thus the state starts developing slowly and each district in Andhra Pradesh, will have a city like Hyderabad,”Jagan said.
With the inspiration of Jagan, many indefinite strikes are being held in local mandals and villages, for the special status. On the other side, the state government is maintaining mum on the issue.
This is further strengthening Jagan's strike and the words he spoke in the meeting. Jagan said, “Chandrababu Naidu is unable to question the centre as he is cornered in cash for vote case. For his personal crimes, he is ready to sacrifice the state's development.” If Naidu continues to maintain silence, then people might take Jagan's words as true statements.
