Hyderabad: While the Seemandhra region is gearing up for another bandh following a call given by the APNGOs, the six Seemandhra MPs, who had given a notice of no-confidence, will sit on a two-day fast in Hyderabad opposing State’s bifurcation.
The six MPs, Lagadapati Rajagopal, Vundavalli Arun Kumar, G V Harsha Kumar, A Sai Pratap, Sabbam Hari and Rayapati Sambasiva Rao, will launch their ‘Sankalpa Deeksha’ on Friday near Indira Park when the State Assembly meets for another session post-Christmas break to discuss the draft T Bill. According to Harsha Kumar they had applied for police permission on December 26.
Their demands include moving a resolution in the State Assembly and Council opposing the State’s division apart from permitting the legislators to vote on the Bill YSRCP protest programme Meanwhile, the YSRCP had also called for a bandh on January 3. Addressing the media, party senior leader MV Mysura Reddy said that the sanctity of the Assembly was at question with Delhi dictating on how to conduct the proceedings in the State Assembly on the draft T Bill. This, he said, was against the federal spirit of the Constitution.
The party’s Political Affairs Committee (PAC), which met under the leadership of YSR party President Y S Jaganmohan Reddy, has decided to carry out protest programmes to highlight the undemocratic procedures adopted by the State Assembly to divide the State.
The party would also organise motorcycle rally on January 4 and relay hunger strikes from January 7 to 10 which would be attended by YSR party leaders, workers and integrationists.
Reiterating the party’s demand to adopt a resolution in support of united Andhra, Reddy said that nowhere in the country was a State divided without an Assembly resolution. “When Gujarat was separated from Maharashtra and when North Eastern States were formed and more recently when Uttarakhand, Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand were created, there was a resolution in the respective State Assemblies,” he said.
TMM warns of counter-stir
Sounding a strong warning to anti-bifurcation sections, Telangana Mala Mahanadu (TMM) on Wednesday declared that it would obstruct the proposed two-day fast by Seemandhra MPs on January 3 and 4 at Indira Park.
In a press statement, TMM president Addanki Dayaker termed the actions of Seemandhra leaders as undemocratic. He also warned of a counter stir-‘Prajaswamya Parirakshana’ (safeguarding democracy) dharna on same dates at the same venue.
