Prime Minister Narendra Modi is visiting Andhra Pradesh on Jan 6, 2019. The State's BJP unit has planned for a massive public meeting. Though the venue for the meeting is not yet decided, it is likely to be held in Rayalaseema or Uttarandhra regions. Why BJP planning a public meeting in either of the places is well known to the public. The Andhra Pradesh government has already released a Whitepaper on the status of the promises and assurances made in AP Reorg Act. It is well known fact that Centre did not do anything on the bifurcation of institutions that come under Section 9 (89 Institutions) and Section 10 (142 Institutions). Also, the Centre did not implement the Special Category Status nor the Railway Zone. Also, there are reports suggesting that Centre is not keen on accepting the new Rehabilitation package for Polavaram. In this regard, the visit of Prime Minister is raising curiosity. How Modi supports his actions is to be seen.
When Modi visited Tamil Nadu, the people protested his visit over Cauvery issue. All political parties supported the protests there. Will AP people show the same unity? Will the political parties in Andhra show same unity? Going by the tantrums of Janasena and YSRCP, it is mostly unlikely. They do support Modi and want to blame Chandrababu Naidu for the non-implementation of AP ReOrg assurances and promises. Though such actions show that they are opposing the ruling govt in Andhra, it would harm in the long run.
