modiNew Delhi/Vijayawada : Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday assured Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu that a decision will be taken without delay on according special category status to the state.

Jaitley had told Rajya Sabha last week that the government can’t give special status to Andhra Pradesh but assured handholding until the state becomes economically stable.

Naidu was accompanied by central ministers Ashok Gajapathi Raju, Y.S. Chowdary and several TDP MPs.

Before the meeting, Minister for Information and Broadcasting M. Venkaiah Naidu met the Prime Minister and discussed the issues concerning Andhra Pradesh.

Jaitley’s statement in the Rajya Sabha had evoked sharp reaction from the TDP with Chandrababu Naidu asking the Modi government to fulfil all its commitments under the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act.

The TDP chief described special category status as a matter of life and death for the state. TDP MPs also staged protest in the Parliament House complex early this week, demanding early decision on the special status.
