Pawan Kalyan on Monday interacted with CPM leaders at his Hyderabad office.  He attacked the TDP government for failing to secure special status.

"We don't want to respond to Amit Shah's letter as it hasn't come from a Minister but from the BJP's President.  Why will we respond?" Pawan asked.

"The TDP government has thoroughly compromised.  There are no job opportunities.  In Uttarandhra, Rayalaseema, and Prakasam, the government has no funds to spend on education, giving a remunerative price to farmers, and provide basic amenities like health. When there is a scarcity of funds, it spent so much on the 'Pushkaralu'.  Why did they spend so much on it?" Pawan remarked.

He described the capital Amaravathi as exclusive. "They are building it on 33,000 acres. Have they earmarked areas to ensure it's inclusive?" he asked.
