Bharatiya Janta Party which has got clear majority at the center seems to ignoring its allies now. Divorce with Sivasena is almost confirmed now and BJP is not giving due importance to TDP as well. The party has got one cabinet rank ministry and MOS so far. Ashok Gajapathi Raju has got Civil Aviation Ministry and Sujana Chowdary has got MOS with Science and Technology portfolio.
More or less TDP should be confined with these two berths for the rest of the term. Also both the portfolios do not have any significance and will be of no use to Andhra Pradesh state development going further. Civil Aviation Ministry may be of some use with some new airports coming up in the state. But Sujana’s ministry of no use to the state anyways.
But it is said that Chandrababu Naidu has decided to keep his calm since the state has got several uses with center’s help. “Giving Special Status to Andhra Pradesh is equal to 10 Cabinet Berths for us. We hope Center will stand by its word”, said a senior leader in TDP.
