AP CM Naidu go for day long fasting on his birthday

Vijayawada, Apr 15: Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu will go on a day-long fast on his birthday - April 20, in protest against the Centre's refusal to give Special Category Status (SCS) and fulfill the assurances given in the Rajya Sabha at the time of bifurcation.

He exuded confidence that the Telugu Desam Party would play a decisive role in the formation of the government at the Centre in 2019 and sought the people's mandate to get the SCS and other wishes fulfilled.

Speaking at the 127th birth anniversary celebrations of Dr. BR. Ambedkar here on Saturday, Mr. Naidu said his fast was aimed at letting the public anguish known to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who made the promise to give SCS at a public meeting in Tirupati on April 30 and reneged on all his government's commitments. In fact, Mr. Naidu said he would address a public meeting on the same day in Tirupati.

Mr. Modi did not keep his word and went to the extent of getting the no-confidence motion blocked in Parliament with the tacit support of the AIADMK, he alleged.
