: Andhra Intellectuals Forum State president and retired professor of Andhra University, Golivi Appala Naidu, on Sunday said that the north Andhra region was the biggest victim of the bifurcation of erstwhile united Andhra Pradesh, and justice needed to be done to this most backward region of the country.
Speaking to media in Srikakulam, he said the Central government, which used to sanction funds exclusively for the region, had stopped the financial aid.
“The region will attract more investments only when the Special Category Status (SCS) is given to A.P. We request the political parties to shun their differences and come forward to protect the interests of the State on the lines of leaders of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka where public representatives show their unity for common issues,” he said.
