Jagan Mohan Reddy, Andhra Pradesh’s chief minister-designate, met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP president Amit Shah in New Delhi on Sunday. YSR Congress Party chief discussed several issues with PM Modi, including the special category status for Andhra Pradesh.
“Today was the first meeting with PM. God willing I’ll probably meet him maybe 30, 40, 50 times over these 5 years. I’ll make it a point to remind him every time, of special category status…As long as we keep reminding, things will change,” Jagan Reddy said in a press conference after the meeting.
During his election campaign, Jagan Reddy whose YSR Congress Party stormed to power on Thursday bagging 152 of the Andhra Pradesh’s 175 assembly seats and 22 of the state’s 25 Lok Sabha seats had said that he would support the party at the national level which promises to grant special category status.
