Naidu upped the ante on M Venkaiah Naidu and also Nirmala Seetharaman during his two day visit to nation capital .After seven months Naidu reminded the finance minister Arun Jaitley that the state did not have funds to pay salaries and Rs.320 crore was due to AP from April onwards .
Naidu said that he has met PM Narendra Modi and 11 other prominent people at Center and sought help from Centre for the beleaguered and truncated state of Andhra Pradesh.
"I've brought the issue of Special Category Status for AP and financial package for the state to Prime Minister. Also sought him additional Rs 1500 Crore for the Employment Fund. he told Media
Interestingly while Chandrababu Naidu is insisting on center implementing the assurances as per AP reorganization Act , the Delhi Naidu ( Venkaiah Naidu) is keen to amend the act first and later give sops to both AP and Telangana . During his meetings he repeatedly struck home the point all the sacrifices he made for BJP - two ministers, MlCs and also Rajya sabha seat for Nirmala ." We know Naidu is a great bargainer but nomatch for Modi . We do not want to appear to be favoring only AP as BJP is keen to grow in Telangana also" BJP leader commented at Delhi..
Obviously NDA might take a second look on the issues of AP and Telangana only after the Delhi assembly polls .The Sankranti celebrations at Venkaiah home in which Chandababu brushed shoulders with top guns of BJP had been the meeting ground for them to work out solutions to problems of AP government .Whatever happens , the center appears to be very firm that they don't want to look Naidu friendly in the back drop of post 2004 scenario . BJP knows where Naidu's soul is and it is definitely not towards BJP as a soul mate but only as a power mate.
