Special Category Status for Andhra Pradesh as per the promise made by Lawmakers in the parliament during State Bifurcation.
Basis
Following the bifurcation of the united state of A.P. the residual state lost a large part of its revenue due to Hyderabad remaining as the capital of Telangana. In a debate in the Rajya Sabha on the A.P. Reorganisation Act on February 20, 2014, then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had said that SCS would be “extended to the successor State of Andhra Pradesh for a period of five years.” This oral submission by the then PM has been the basis for A.P.’s claim to the status.[1]

Lok Sabha election results 2014: Pawan Kalyan magic working for TDP-BJP!
The power star Pawan Kalyan powered through the nation’s election scenery when he announced his entry into politics with the formation of his Jana Sena Party. Pawan Kalyan, a popular figure in Tollywood, seems to have influenced the voters with his support to the BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi. At least that’s what the early poll results suggest.
The Gabbar Singh star Pawan Kalyan, who extensively campaigned for Modi in Andhra, has a clean image which seems to have worked well for BJP-TDP alliance. The JSP supremo, who launched his party on March 14, has said his party is here to question and not to contest elections. His awe-inspiring speech became viral over the internet and the people seem to be buying his promises.
The star Pawan Kalyan had earlier embarrassed his brother mega star Chiranjeevi by backing BJP. Chiranjeevi, who had joined Congress in 2011, was visibly flustered at Pawan’s decision to support BJP, but stated that Pawan Kalyan’s entry into politics is a welcome sign. It is also rumoured that Pawan Kalyan had a special lunch with Chandra Babu Naidu at the TDP supremo’s residence.
This tale of two brothers at loggerheads may not see an end soon, but the election results that are coming in suggest that power star’s magic has triumphed over mega star’s image. With the TDP-BJP combine alliance leading in 12 Lok Sabha constituencies in Seemandhra, power star Pawan Kalyan’s power is for everyone to see.
The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) is fast losing its cadres to the ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) and the Congress in Telangana.
In the last 10 days, TDP members from different districts, including a few state leaders, have joined the TRS on three occasions. At least 10 TDP members joined the TRS on each occasion. Similarly, at least 10 leaders switched to the Congress along with former TDP working president and MLA Revanth Reddy on 31 October.
According to information from the TRS office, TDP cadres from Mahbubnagar and Nalgonda districts, including Kancherla Bhupalreddy, an influential leader from the Nalgonda assembly constituency, which is currently held by the Congress, were officially inducted into the TRS on 30 October and 1 and 6 November.
Similarly, on 8 November, some minority leaders from the TDP were inducted into the TRS. “This is just a mind-game being played by the TRS leaders. Only a few lower-level leaders from Kondangal constituency (held by Revanth Reddy), who are Revanth’s followers, left for the Congress. Senior leaders from the TDP have not left the party,” said Ravula Chandrashekar Reddy, TDP member.
Apart from those joining the TRS, when Revanth Reddy switched to the Congress, state-level TDP leaders, including former MLAs and ministers, also shifted with him. His move reduced the number of TDP MLAs in Telangana to just two, from 15. Twelve MLAs defected to the TRS last year, and a few of them were inducted into the state cabinet after that.
“This is something that will continue for a while. Naturally, the TDP here will vanish, because second-rank leaders have nothing to stay for in the party. And going to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is not an option, because that colour will stick, and you won’t get other votes,” said Leo Augustine, former general secretary of the People’s Union for Civil Liberties (PUCL).
Telangana Pradesh Congress President (TPCC) official spokesperson Sravan Dasoju said there is a lot of confusion in the TDP about its political future. “The party cadres know that the it cannot contest alonein the 2019 state assembly elections. Also, Revanth was one its vociferous leaders and he has joined the Congress,” Dasoju told Mint.
“TDP cadres have joined the TRS in the presence of state cabinet ministers in my constituency and in other districts places like Kodangal, Kalvakurthi etc recently. More are likely to follow. When Jharkhand was bifurcated from Bihar, the Lalu Prasad Yadav-led Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) collapsed there, as it was seen as a Bihar-based party. Similarly, the TDP will die a natural death in Telangana because it has roots in Andhra Pradesh,” said Balka Suman, TRS MP from Pedapally constituency
