It demanded that the Centre take cognisance of the legal and 'just' demands of the state and act accordingly.
It also took a serious view of certain statements by 'those holding responsible posts at the Centre', that were mocking in nature.
The resolution, moved by Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, was passed at the end of the more than four-hour long debate on the issue.
"This House takes strong objection and expresses serious protest over the Centre's attitude and delay in implementation of the provisions of the AP Reorganisation Act, 2014 and also the promises made by the then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh (in Rajya Sabha)," the resolution said.
It demanded that the Centre extend 'handholding support' to Andhra Pradesh till it grows on par with other southern states.
"We are not asking anything that's not in the Act or the promises made by the then Prime Minister. The Centre should take cognisance of this fact," it added.
The House questioned why the Centre was not according special category status to Andhra Pradesh when tax discounts and other incentives were being extended to some other states.
Division of the organisations listed in Schedules IX and X should also be done, the resolution said.
It said among the six promises the then Prime Minister made in the Rajya Sabha, the main ones were granting special category status,bridging the state's revenue gap (for 2014-15) and extending special assistance for backward districts on the lines of the Bundelkhand-Koraput-Kalahandi-Bolangir package.
Going by the amount of money being released, the educational institutes may not be complete even in 20 years.
There was no talk of increasing the number of Assembly seats (from 175 to 225), the resolution said.
