Amit Shah writes a detailed letter to Chandrababu Naidu full of facts, figures and some tough questions

Op India  

The political battle over special status to Andhra Pradesh has stalled the parliament for nearly two weeks. The centre’s refusal to provide special status to Andhra Pradesh has apparently evoked strong emotions among people in the state. In order to explain the BJPs stance and put forward details and facts on the centre’s assistance to Andhra, the BJP president Amit Shah has written a letter to the TDP chief and Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu. Regarding revenue deficit grants of Amit Shah highlighted that the state had been granted Rs 22,113 crore of funds for the period 2015-2020 by the 14th finance commission. He mentioned that ‘Special Assistance Measure’ offered to Andhra Pradesh was equivalent to the benefits the state would have got under the special status category.
