YS Jagan Says Will support BJP
Jagan who has been doing Pada yatra surprised many when he told he will support BJP in his recent interview to an English daily.
YS Jagan told that his party backed demonetisation and GST since they are much-needed reforms, which are being taken up across the globe. The only factor that is causing some disturbance is the rates and slabs of GST. In fact, GST has benefited some manufacturing sectors like steel and cement. YSRCP’s support to the BJP is issue based. YSRCP went against the BJP on special category status and land reforms. We will support the BJP if they agree to confer special category status to Andhra.
When asked about court dismissing his plea to exempt from personal appearance at the court during padayatra, he told “I don’t think the BJP has any role (in CBI court’s decision). In Andhra, we don’t need the BJP or Congress. They need regional parties than regional parties needing them. But we need the BJP’s support for special category status to Andhra. Only the incentives associated with special category status will help Andhra attract large scale investments and jobs to scores of unemployed youth.”
He also added that Congress party has no place in Andhra. The BJP has some vote share. Communists too have little vote share. We hope response to my padayatra will help the BJP change its stand on special category status.
So, when he told, he will raise the issue of Special Category status (SCS) during padayatra, people thought he may fire on BJP for not granting SCS. But surprisingly, he is going too soft on BJP and moreover he is saying, by seeing the response to his padayatra, BJP will change its stand on SCS. So, it is very clear that he is not going to utter even one harsh word on BJP during his padayatra and he will be happy if BJP extends their hands to join him. At least, this is what the message people get from his interview
