Congress leaders from AP are all set to submit a memorandum to President Pranab Mukherjee and Prime Minister Narendra Modi with one crore signatures seeking special category status for the state. Congress leader and Rajya Sabha member T Subbarami Reddy speaking to the media in Visakhapatnam said that a campaign had been launched by the Congress state unit to collect the signatures a year back so as to put pressure on the BJP government for the special category status to the state.

He further said that 'Chalo Delhi' programme has been organized by the AP Congress on March 12 where Congress Committee chief N Raghuveera Reddy along with hundreds of workers would reach the Capital and submit the memorandum to the President and Prime Minister on March 14.

The Congress leaders said that as per the AP Reorganisation Act 2014, AP was to get Railway Zone with Vizag as headquarters and Polovaram project should have received Rs 10,000 crore assistance from the Centre, but the latest budgets had nothing for the state as Chandrababu failed to get funds for the state from his alliance BJP.
