It was promised to the state of Andhra Pradesh at the time of bifurcation of the state into Andhra and Telangana.
To compensate for the loss of Hyderabad which is a very industrial place we Andhra people were promised a special category status at that time.It was supposed to be included in AP re organising act.
Modi in 2014 promised to give Special category status for AP for not 5 years but 10 years and he just went back on his promise.That was the reason why Babu's TDP split with NDA back then 2019. BJP contested in AP 2019 on it's own and polled less than 1% votes despite the Modi wave that was sweeping across the country.
From 2019 -2024 BJP did very little to Andhra Pradesh.
Modi put fear of ED IT and what not in Babu's mind and forcibly alligned with TDP in Andhra. Today because of Andhra he has a chance of forming govt at the centre and his third term as PM.
If BJP contested alone in 2024 they would have got less than what they got in 2019.
