The Central government is ready to accord special category status to the State, BJYM State president S. Vishnuvardhan Reddy asserted on Tuesday.
The Modi government was adopting a positive outlook on SCS to the State and Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, who was heading the State committee on the issue, had submitted a report to Niti Aayog, Mr. Vishnuvardhan Reddy said in Kurnool.
However, non-submission of reports by some other Chief Ministers was cause for the delay in granting SCS, he added.
