New Delhi: Union Minister Venkaiah Naidu. New Delhi: Union Minister Venkaiah Naidu. Union Minister Venkaiah Naidu today said the Narendra Modi-led NDA government would offer complete support for all-round development of Andhra Pradesh besides the Rs 2.25 lakh crore financial package announced recently. Accusing the previous Congress-led UPA regime of ‘hastily and unilaterally’ carving out Telangana from Andhra Pradesh in ‘just 23 minutes’ in Parliament, he said in the process the special category status to the residual state was not included in the Andhra Pradesh State Reorganisation bill that later became an act. Besides the financial package, it would extend more assistance ensuring the all-round development of the state, hesaid.
