Targeting the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP for negation of ‘Special Category Status’ to Andhra Pradesh, Pawan Kalyan has avowed that the political parties were adopting to opportunistic politics that's hurting the sentiments of Andhra people. By addressing in a press conference at Hyderabad, Pawan Kalyan negate the statements that he was unable to understand the fact that the why Special Status was not possible as he was novice to politics. Pawan said I don't have any political knowledge, why did you seek my help and support in 2014 elections…? Why I was asked to campaign on behalf you in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and other states..? he asked. Pawan also stated that he supported Narendra Modi and Chandrababu Naidu expecting that they would meet the hopes of the people.  But both the parties have not meeting the expectations of the people. Mr. Venkaiah Naidu (Union Urban Development Minister) is more worried about Swarna Bharat Trust rather than the Special Status and promises made to Andhra Pradesh. We don’t have any objections for the felicitations done to him. But he should Fulfill promises to the state also.

Mr. Sujana Chowdary denigrate Jallikattu with his inedible remarks and suggested people not to take inspiration from Jallikattu. If that is the case what was the inspiration for his ailure to repay the bank loans he borrowed for his companies? he asked. The Chief Minister should have given permission to silent protest at RK Beach in Visakhapatnam. He just postponed the people's agitation by denying permission. It cannot be stopped permanently, he asserted. Mr. Chandrababu Naidu says he would develop the capital Amaravati the lines of Singapore. Why could he not take inspiration from Lee Kuan Yew who transformed Singapore into least corrupt countries in the world. Late Mr. Lee Kuan Yew kept his friends at bay for a corrupt-free country. Mr. Chandrababu Naidu, however, is flanked by persons like Sujana Chowdary and Rayapati Sambasiva Rao, he pointed out.

Youth of Andhra Pradesh took to Twitter and Facebook, planning a 'silent protest' at Vizag RK Beach, on 26th of this Month, there were calls for many to come and join. Even Janasena President Pawan Kalyan extended his support. Kalyan on Twitter, said '#APDemadsSpecialStatus, If youth of AP are planning to do a silent protest on 26th Jan at RK Beach, Vizag, #Janasena Supports them'. 

In 2016, enormous protests broke out all over the AP in September, after Arun Jaitley (Union Finance Minister) declared a 'special economic package' for Andhra Pradesh, ideally of special status that the state had demanded. This resulted to a lot of indignation, since the AP Special Status was a long standing demand of all the political parties in the state. The Finance Minister Arun Jaitley had assert that the state will get a monetary advantage, analogous to the special category status, this hasn't helped too much. The central government's financial package also includes a special assistance, a series of tax concessions and full funding of the Polavaram irrigation project.

Towards protest of special status for Andhra Pradesh, Congress on Monday seek an assurance from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, which was rejected by the Speaker. The members of YSR Congress straggle by raising slogans for demanding special status for Andhra Pradesh following the effigy out of Telangana state. By holding placards MP's of YSRCP defied the Speaker who continuously counsel them to return to their seats and not to display the banners. As the House was taking up Question Hour, Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge said that the YSR Congress members are routinely raising the issue, thus disrupting the proceedings. Mallikarjun Kharge said the Prime Minister should come to House and assure the unnerve members as his precursor Manmohan Singh had assured special status for Andhra Pradesh. And the Speaker said every now and then calling the Prime Minister is 'not necessary' as Finance Minister (Arun Jaitley) has already made a statement on the issue.

AP CM Chandrababu Naidu today said that they would exercise more pressure on the Central government to grant special category status to the state. Even the Centre has to extend all necessary financial assistance as the state is facing numerous problems on account of the unscientific bifurcation, Chief Minister said while addressing a public meeting in this afternoon. We never compromised with the centre on the special status. Everyone in the state should work incessantly 'day and night' for ten years, the state would not come out of its problems caused by the bifurcation.  (Also read about INR 100 crore fine, 7-year jail for wrong depiction of India map)

Chandra Babu said Andhra Pradesh also facing trouble from 'neighbour states' on sharing of river water. Odisha and Telangana are creating problems for the state. Telangana is constructing projects on Godavari and Krishna rivers which is violation of 'Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2014'. Odisha is opposing AP projects being built on Nagavali river. These states are objecting to our use of river water that is going waste into the sea, naidu said. We have to overcome all these troubles in an friendly manner. The Chief Minister took part in the Neeru-Chettu programme as part of the water conservation mission launched by the government.

AP Chief Minister demanded the Centre to grant special category status to the state, saying that there would be 'no compromise' on that. Chandra Babu said addressing a meeting on the May Day celebration bifurcation of state was not wished. Hence, the Centre should liberally aid our state. The UPA government promised special category status to Andhra Pradesh for five years but we wanted it for ten years. It is the responsibility of the Centre to fulfill that. The Chief Minister launched 'Chandranna Beema Padhakam' on the occasion of International Workers Day. Under this scheme each worker would get an accidental insurance cover of INR 50,000. Chief Minister said in this scheme around 1.5 crore workers in unorganized sector covered in the state. Enrollment of workers under this scheme would be completed in coming three months and implementation would begin on Independence Day i.e August 15th.

 Andhra Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu is learnt to be too keen on shifting significant government departments and IAS officers from Hyderabad to Vijayawada and areas nearby the new Andhra capital Amaravati. Although, Hyderabad was declared joint capital for 10 years, Naidu wants to evacuate AP government offices functioning from Hyderabad to Vijayawada and then accommodate them in offices that will come up in the AP capital region of Amaravati as soon as possible.

 Naidu is spending at least five days a week in Vijayawada, directing officers to put together temporary infrastructure to receive offices and officials from Hyderabad. The acrimonious relationship with his Telangana counterpart K Chandrasekhara Rao, the cash-for-vote scandal and allegations against Naidu by Telangana Anti-Corruption Bureau, and general animosity against Andhra origin employees by Telangana employees has apparently prompted Naidu to expedite the shifting of Andhra office from Hyderabad to Vijayawada and nearby areas close to the upcoming capital of Amaravati. Several Telangana leaders have questioned Naidu why he was hanging around in Hyderabad when he does not belong to Telangana State.

 At an impromtu meeting held in Vijayawada today, a peeved CM Naidu sought a report immediately from the Government Officers Committee formed to oversee shifting of government employees, stating that they were already several weeks behind schedule in submitting their report.

 The Committee headed by Jawahar Reddy, principal secretary (Panchayat Raj) and four other IAS officers informed the Chief Minister that there are approximately 12,000 employees who should be shifted immediately. But, they were a little reluctant to disturb their childrens’ schooling by shifting in the middle of academic year. Reddy informed the Chief Minister that Medha Towers, Vijayawada, a start of the art plug and play building has ready-to-occupy space for official purposes,’’ an official said.

 “Those departments which have buildings in the new capital region can accommodate employees in their offices. And, those departments without offices in the region can scout for accommodation and it will be taken care of by government. Ensure that you facilitate this transition smoothly,’’ CM Naidu told the Committee. Naidu also asked members of Government Officers Committee involved in transition if exclusive special bus service can be operated from Hyderabad to the Capital Region for employees.

 Discussing about the plan for October 22, the day Amaravati’s foundation stone will be laid, the Chief Minister asked the Capital Region Development Authority (CRDA) to design and construct a pylon which will become a symbol of Andhra Pradesh citizens’ pride. “Explore whether we can develop the location of the pylon as a beautiful public park or like a central public centre,” he added, continuing that on-ground works should begin from that day.

 CM Naidu also that CRDA should focus on beautification of the region. “Urban development has to happen on massive scale. Canal development, river beautification works should happen, roads and plantations have to dot the city. If we begin this process now, this will build the momentum to building a world-class capital city. Along with focusing on the development of Amaravati, we also need to focus on peripheral beautification of existing cities and towns in the capital region and districts. This will instill confidence among and reflect our commitment,” the Chief Minister explained.
