Hyderabad: The opposition party YSRCP  attacked the ruling TDP for their silence on the demand of special category status for the state.

YSR Congress Party asked its workers to stage protest in various forms on Friday. Y S Jaganmohan Reddy, leader of opposition, accused the Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu of throwing cold water on people's aspirations.

YSRCP Chief said that Mr Naidu compromised with the Centre and did not put pressure on the PM on the issue.  The people of AP expected a categorical assurance from the PM on the special category status besides implementation of all provisions in the AP Reorganisation Act.

However, they were thoroughly disappointed, the Andhra Pradesh Congress said in a statement. Accusing Modi of cheating the people of AP, it said he would pay the price in future for not honouring the election promises.
