The Prime Minister’s Office invited AP CM YS Jaganmohan Reddy to take part in the NITI Aayog national level meeting in Delhi on June 15. The meeting will discuss various issues like Centre-State relations. Jagan is expected to take up the issue of Special Status promise to AP at this meeting. The venue of meeting will be Rashtrapati Bhavan.

As per reports, participating Chief Ministers can raise any issue at this meeting with the permission of NITI Aayog Chairman. Its CEO Amitabh Kant says that the meeting will primarily focus on agriculture, drought conditions, irrigation and other related issues.

However, Andhra Pradesh is facing serious crisis in resources because of non-fulfillment of bifurcation promises. CM Jagan is expected to bring forward this issue and insist on the special status promise. AP is right no facing scarcity of financial resources. Jagan’s priority would be to get the Central funds under different programmes. He has asked his secretaries and senior IAS officers to look for ways to get maximum support from the Centre.
