YSR Congress Party’s Member of Legislative Council Varudu Kalyani on Sunday said the previous Telugu Desam Party (TDP) government, which held power in the State from 2014 to 2019, was to blame for the denial of Special Category Status.
“The TDP government had struck a compromise with the Union government for a so-called special package for the residual State of Andhra Pradesh,” Ms. Kalyani said.
