The meeting between AP government delegation led by State Finance minister Yanamala Ramakrishnudu and union Finance minister Arun Jaitley lasted for hours in new Delhi. However, it did not yield any positive results towards fulfilling the aspiration of the Andhra people who have been fighting for special status .
