Why are Jagan and Naidu not questioning BJP on bifurcation promises, asks Sharmila

Speaking at the ‘Nyaya Sadhana Sabha’ organised by the party here on March 7 (Thursday), Ms. Sharmila said her foray into Andhra politics should not be seen as a step taken by her for any political gain.

“If it is so, I should have come in 2019 itself. It is because the State does not have one leader who can fight for Special Category Status (SCS) that I stepped in. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has given an assurance that he would help the State get SCS,” she said.
