Activists of Mala Mahanadu and Special Status Sadhana Samithi (SSSS) staged protests in front of BJP offices across Andhra Pradesh in the wake of the suicide of a middle-aged person in Nellore on Thursday purportedly for Special Category Status (SCS). They demanded that the Central government should deliver its promise without further delay and warned that if it continued to be indifferent to woes of people of A.P, protests will be intensified.
At the BJP State office in Vijayawada, Mala Mahanadu leaders wondered whether the suicides would move BJP to honour its commitment, and questioned the use of Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu’s meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The protestors said clearer signals that BJP was for a financial package, not SCS, emerged after the high-profile meeting in Delhi but those pretending as championing the cause of people of A.P did not stop making their tall claims. SSSS activists squatted in front of the BJP office in Visakhapatnam and shouted slogans against the party leaders who allegedly failed in getting the promises made for A.P fulfilled.
