Amaravati (Andhra Pradesh), March 02 (ANI): Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu chaired the TDP Parliamentary Board Meeting, wherein he questioned the Centre upon not giving Special Category Status (SCS) to the state. He said, “We accepted for special assistance as the Centre said there were problems for SCS. However, we never ever said no to special status. Now the Centre is continuing SCS to other states, how? In such case, we too need SCS.” Regarding the funds that the state has asked the Centre, he said, “We consulted the Centre even yesterday. What is the formula you gave? What is the logic you say that we (state govt) should ask. It is center’s responsibility to give what is to be given.” “Now, AP is lagging behind neighboring states in per capita income by Rs 35000. Comparing per capita income of AP with that of the nation is not correct,” Naidu asserted.
