During a discussion in the Rajya Sabha on Tuesday, Communist Party of India (Marxist) member T K Rangarajan reminded the House that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had promised special category status to Andhra Pradesh 

in the temple town of Tirupati in 2014. Rangarajan said as a Marxist he didn’t believe in God, but if the PM didn’t deliver on the promise he made before the god he believed in, how can the people of India believe in the PM. The Modi government, Rangarajan said, should grant special category status for god’s sake, if for nothing else. Rajya Sabha
