Andhra Pradesh Assembly on Tuesday adopts a resolution urging the Centre to confer the special category status (SCS) Tuesday June 18,2019

The Andhra Pradesh Assembly on Tuesday June 18,2019  adopted a resolution urging the Centre to confer the special category status (SCS) with all financial benefits and industrial incentives without further delay, noting that there were no impediments at all.

It also asked the Union government to fulfill all provisions and assurances incorporated in the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2014

Chief Minister YS Jaganmohan Reddy, who moved the resolution, termed the as "essential lifeline" and an imperative to compensate the state for the economic and financial "deprivation" caused by bifurcation

In the resolution, Reddy said: "The Union cabinet that met on March 2, 2014, had resolved to accord the SCS to AP and instructed the then Planning Commission to take expeditious action to implement the decision."

The assembly expresses its concern that due to lack of persuasion, the issue remained without any action in the Planning Commission until its abolition on January 1, 2015, when the Niti Aayog came into existence, the resolution said

"The assembly expresses its firm opinion that there are no impediments whatsoever to conferring (the) SCS on Andhra Pradesh," it added.
