During the bifurcation of the Telugu states, BJP government assured special status to Andhra Pradesh, but later, it is known that, the center took back the promise. But it seems to be like, BJP chief Amit Shah is rethinking on the issue.

On the successful completion of one year of Modi's government at the center, the celebrations were held, and a few of the BJP officials participated in these celebrations. Speaking at the meeting, Amit Shah said, “the center is making all efforts towards the welfare of  the Andhra Pradesh state, recently we spoke to the AP Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu and came to know about the situation of the state, so a proper decision would be taken very soon.”

The warning by the oppositions is the result of special status?
 
But previously, the senior leaders like Arun Jaitley, said that, except special status, anything would be given to the state. After this statement, the opposition parties and the AP state residents who were unhappy with the center's decision started opposing it. They even warned that, the oppositions will be increased in the coming days if there is no positive response from the center regarding the special status for AP. Now it seems to be like the reason behind Amit Shah statement might be this warning from AP state.

How come Amit's decision changed in two days?

On the other side, it is to be remembered that previously along with Venkaiah Naidu, even Amit Shah was against the special status and even brought the 14th finance commission issue in between. Not only this, in a recent interview for a Telugu newspaper, it can be clearly understood that Amit Shah was not clear about his decision about the special status. But, just within two days of that interview, how come he made a decision on such an important issue is the talk of the country now.
