Hon’ble Chief Minister

Government of Andhra Pradesh

Respected Sir,

Further to our letter dated September 26, 2013, with regard to convening Assembly, we reiterate that a special session of the Assembly should be convened before the draft bill comes to Assembly for its views on the issue of the bifurcation of the State, and to table a resolution against the division in the larger interest of people in order to safeguard the prospects of the future generations.

In our earlier letter we requested you to convene the Assembly ahead of the preparation of Cabinet note which is the tradition. But our viewpoint was not considered favourably. The Assembly session would have enabled the elected representatives and Parties to express their respective stand and also to adopt a resolution against the division process which would have stalled this arbitrary decision.

As the cabinet note has been approved now and the pace of the division process has increased with the Group of Ministers (GoM) taking stock of situation in its first sitting and chalking out the action plan to expedite the splitting of the State ignoring the popular mood. We request you to realise at least now the seriousness and convene the Assembly immediately to discuss the issue threadbare and table a resolution against the division of the state before the draft bill is prepared, so as to mount pressure on the central Government to not go ahead against this injustice and to display our resentment to the entire nation before it is too late. This injustice for the sake of a few votes and seats ignoring the tradition of having an Assembly resolution in place is not right. 

As a responsible Political party having 18 members in Assembly and two Members in Lok Sabha nd in the interest of 60 % of the population that has expressed its resentment through various forms of protests for more than 75 days, we once again urge you to convene a special session to fecilitate passing a resolution against the division before it is too late.

We request you to kindly take up the issue and convene a special session of the assembly at the earliest and oblige.

 Thanking you 

Yours truly
