“In the last three years, As far as Andhra Pradesh is concerned, every commitment we’ve made, I stand by every word. We have given several institutions to the state which are in several stages. Polavaram is being supported by NABARD. An equivalent amount of Special Status is being given in the form of EAPs,” Arun Jaitley.

“We have done a fair bit for Andhra Pradesh and we will do what else we can as we believe Andhra Pradesh is at disadvantage because of the state division,” Jaitley said. But then, people at the ground zero are not at all happy, Jaitley should know.
