"I have visited Delhi 29 times to get a special status. "The indifferent attitude of the Central government harms the federal and constitutional spirit of the nation," Chandrababu Naidu said.He said that the NDA government had first denied the special status to Andhra Pradesh attributing that to the 14th Finance Commission. He claimed that the railway zone for Visakhapatnam was in the process and would be a reality soon. This too had failed to make the Central government help us. However, the same government had continued the status and other benefits to the 11 other states and wondered how the government can deny the benefits to one state and extend them to the other states..
