Centre should review its decision

Hyderabad,
October 28, 2013: Buoyed by the overwhelming success of the Samaikhya Shankaravam,
YSR Congress has demanded the Centre to review its decision of dividing the
state as the voice of the people had a message which was loud and clear
demanding a united state.

“The
demand for a united state was very vociferous and the Centre should respect the
sentiments of the people and reverse its decision to split the state. The meeting
has shown the faith people has in YS Jagan Mohan Reddy and the mood was clearly
in support for a united state and we will continue the fight till the end,”
party senior leader Konathala Ramakrishna told reporters here on Sunday.

Expressing
confidence that all persons and parties that have belief in democracy will
react positively, he said the meeting has a sent a clear message to the Centre
that the will of the people is against division. Thanking the people who came
in large numbers from far and wide braving all odds, he said their fight will
continue till the Centre yields to the demand of dropping the idea of dividing
the state.

Defending
party president’s remark that we will win 30 MPs and dictate terms to Delhi, he
said;” our leader’s intention is to have Prime Minister who will support an
integrated state and Telugu people will have a say in the national politics.”

Turning
nostalgic, he said, LB Stadium has affinity with YSR family as YSR was sworn-in
at the same venue and signed the free power and loan waiver files in 2004 and
also took oath in 2009 for the second time at the same venue.

Rains:
 Five days of heavy rains
played havoc in coastal Andhra and other regions causing huge damage to crops,
livestock and roads, Ramakrishna demanded that the state government should take
up relief works on a war footing and provide ample compensation for the loss
and damage.

Crops
were affecting in over 20 lakh acres while roads and rivers have breached.
Party Honorary president YS Vijayamma has been on a two-day tour of the flood
affected areas, he said.
