Hyderabad: AICC president Rahul Gandhi here on Sunday assured people of Andhra Pradesh State that he would accord special status to the State at the moment he came to power.
Addressing a public meeting at Gannavaram in Krishna district, Rahul Gandhi said the Congress has included the issue in their manifesto and added that he would never lie like Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He also said they would make a “surgical strike” on poverty with the help of their scheme “Nyay” and drive poverty out of the country.
