-Fulfil bifurcation promises, Sharmila urges PM Modi

Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) chief Y S Sharmila on Tuesday shot off a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, requesting him to fulfil a slew of unresolved promises made to the state while bifurcating united Andhra Pradesh.
Sharmila listed eight unfulfilled promises outlined in the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act such as the Special Category Status, declaring the Polavaram Project as a national irrigation project, building a new capital city and others.
“Today, the state stands at a crossroads of confusion, chaos and hopelessness, feeling disheartened, a painful situation that we request you to empathise with,” she stated in the letter. According to the APCC president, 10 years have passed by since the bifurcation of united Andhra Pradesh but none of these promises have been met to date.
Pointing out that the people of AP continue to feel cheated due to the apathy of governments that failed to deliver the promises, she said the honesty quotient of the Centre will also come into question.
