Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee president N. Raghuveera Reddy has made a bitter attack on the YSR Congress Party and Jana Sena Party. He asserted that Jaganmohan Reddy and Pawan Kalyan have shut down their respective parties in Telangana as there was no response for them. He asked why Jagan and Pawan were maintaining silence without questioning the Modi government on crippling of national institutions like the Central Bureau of Investigation, the Reserve Bank of India, etc. Raghuveera asked whether YCP and Jana Sena have colluded with the BJP and whether they all have a secret understanding.

During his visit to Guntur, Raghuveera Reddy said that the main opposition party in Andhra has failed utterly to fight against the injustice being done to AP by the Central Government. He said that while Jagan and Pawan never bothered to question the BJP, the ruling TDP has woken up late to oppose the Modi government on injustice to AP. He recalled that AICC president Rahul Gandhi had vowed to put his first signature for conferring the Special Category Status on AP.

The PCC president said that the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance government had betrayed and deceived AP after making tall promises on special status and so on.

Raghuveera further said that the future of AP depended heavily on the party that would form government at the Centre in 2019 and the Congress would be the only party that would improve the lot of AP. Rahul Gandhi had said that he would come back to AP only after conferring special status, he recalled.
