YSRCP MPs to resign – Is it a Drama? Or is Jagan really serious?

YS Jagan is currently on the 86th day of his ‘Praja Sankalpa Yatra’. Speaking at Kaligiri Mandal (Nellore District), he announced that his party MPs would resign if the Central Government does not grant Special Status to Andhra Pradesh. After the Union Budget has been presented to the Parliament, the political leaders from the state, irrespective of the party, came down hard at the Centre. They alleged that the Centre had shown prejudice while allocating funds to AP in the budget.
That is when AP CM Chandrababu Naidu took the whole scenario to the next level. He made sure, the TDP MPs carry out protests outside the parliament. Even then, one question was on everyone’s mind. Why aren’t the TDP MPs resigning? No one had answers to this. In fact, this is something that could prove costly for TDP in the coming elections.
Meanwhile, Jagan stated that YSRCP MPs would stage protests near Jantar Mantar until April 6th. ‘If the Centre doesn’t announce Special Status to AP by April 6th, our MPs will resign’, he said.
Political analysts feel that this is yet another strategy by YS Jagan. With Centre pushing for early polls, probably by 2018-end, the resignation shouldn’t really bother the MPs.
