State needs funds, not just a SCS- Naidu

RAJAMAHENDRAVARAM: Andhra Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu has stated that getting the Special Category Status will not solve the state's problems. He wants to look beyond SCS and wants the Centre to provide funds liberally to enable the state to develop. Probably answering to qualms expressed by the opposition saying he is against the SCS, he said development of a new state without a capital needed a steady flow of Central funds. " This does not mean that I am against SCS and I don't want it. All I want to convey is that it will not solve all the problems being faced by a newly-formed state such as A.P," he said during an interaction with farmers. He thanked the people for reposing faith in him by electing a large number of Telugu Desam MLAs, and praised the farmers for achieving the highest yields of crops with minimum water during the rabi season.
