Refrain from any decision on division: YSRCP
04 Oct 2013 6:35 AM
strong objection to the cabinet note on Telangana , YSR Congress has demanded the
Centre to refrain from any process of dividing the state or it has to take
complete responsibility of the consequences arising out of such unilateral
decisions.
“While
the cabinet note could be revoked, the decision on dividing the state can be
taken back keeping in view the sentiments of crores of Seemandhra people who
are on strike for the past 65 days, “party spokesperson Vasireddy Padma told
reporters here on Wednesday.
YSR
Congress has been demanding the Government to convene the assembly ahead of the
cabinet note and pass a resolution against the division of the State but there
was no response and TDP leader N Chandrababu Naidu, whose letter has fuelled
the division process, has been indifferent to the mass movement that is going
on in Seemandhra region.
“We
demand that the process of division of state should be stopped forthwith and
the Centre should keep away from any such moves. If it goes forward with an
authoritarian attitude of dividing the state, it should take the responsibility
of all consequences arising out of its action,” she said.
Chief
Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy and Leader of Opposition Chandrababu Naidu have
been very helpful to the Centre in the division process as the former could not
mount pressure to stall the cabinet note while the latter refused to withdraw
the letter he has given in support of a separate state.
Despite
our demand to convene a special session of the assembly to pass a resolution
against the division of the state to pre-empt the division process by the Centre
beginning from preparing the Cabinet note, the state leaders had not responded
positively.
The
situation has turned volatile with the Centre going ahead with the division and
we demand the UPA government to withdraw its decision of creating a separate
state in the interest of the people who have hit the road for over two months
and are expressing their dissent in various forms. There is no consensus on the
issue of bifurcation as YSRCP and two other parties are opposing it.
“We warn
the state and centre of dire consequences if the division course is not
stopped. When an ordinance, which could have become a Bill in due course of
time, could be reversed, a decision which is not being endorsed by the majority
of the people can easily be taken back,” she said.
In a
separate press conference, party senior leader Dr MV Mysoora Reddy echoed the
same stand and said that the issue is sensitive in nature and it should be
handled carefully without hurting the sentiments of the people of all regions.
“Parties
express opinions and government will take decisions. If the Ordinance could be
withdrawn after drawing flak from some quarters, the decision of Core Committee
can also be reversed. We do not give consent to the Ordinance but are
mentioning the procedures adopted.
The
authoritarian and unilateral behavior of the Centre will give rise to serious
consequences and it has to take responsibility,” he said.
