Hyderabad,
Aug 22, 2013: Strongly refuting the statement of Congress leader Digvijay Singh that
YSR Congress has given its consent for the bifurcation of the state, Dr MV
Mysoora Redddy has said “our Party was explicit in seeking justice to all
regions.”
‘At the
All Party Meeting held at Delhi on December 28, 2012, we have given a letter to
Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde asking the Centre to consider all issues and
take a decision that would be acceptable to all concerned,” he told reporters
here on Wednesday.
Digvijay
Singh now telling that YSR Congress has given its nod to the division of the
state is a blatant lie and our letter is with the Government where we made our
stand clear and we were categorical that the Centre should take a decision like
a father and find a solution that would be acceptable to all.
“All
what we request from you is a solution acceptable to all without
injustice to any one taking into consideration all
aspects and problems, at the earliest, in a fair, just and equitable manner as
a father would do.
This
has been our stand and nowhere did we give the nod for the bifurcation of the
state. We stressed on the need for doing justice to all sections after
considering all probable consequences. A senior leader like Digvijay Singh
trying to distort our stand certainly has political motives", he said.
Meanwhile,
addressing a separate press conference, party spokesperson Gattu Ramachandra
Rao said the governance in the State has gone for toss with leaders shuttling
between Delhi and the state capital and the YSR welfare schemes are being
watered down.
Aarogyasri,
has been punctured to the maximum possible manner by removing 80 hospitals and
132 aliments from the list. While doctors contend that the reimbursement is not
sufficient for cardiac surgery, the government has been adamant and kept common
man out of the purview of quality treatment.
Since
August 15, heart surgeries were not taken up in 74 hospitals due to the adamant
attitude of the government in reimbursement, he said.
There
has been apathy even in disbursement of pensions. While YSR has increased the
pensions from Rs 75 to Rs 200 and ensured that the amount is reached at the
doorstep on first of every month, the present government has diluted the scheme
and disbursement has been erratic.
The
government contends that pensions would be distributed only during Rachabanda
programme. The last such programme was held in December 2011 and applications
of 7 lakh eligible persons were not cleared as the shuttle services between
Delhi and the city got busy with ministers and Chief Ministers running up and
down.
While
the pensions disbursed has increased from 16 lakh to 71 lakh in
2008 in YSR term, during the present government the pensions have come down by
4 lakh while budget has increased from Rs 1, 03,000 crores to Rs 1, 60,000
crores, which is a mystery.
We
demand that the government should take up the welfare schemes and ensure that
pensions and Aarogyasri reimbursements should be disbursed immediately, he
said.
