TRS, T Cong MLAs submit amendments to draft T Bill
TRS, T Cong MLAs submit amendments to draft T Bill, Telangana Bill. “Having a common capital would throw up new problems for both the States, especially for Telangana.
• T Congress suggests nine, TRS 10 amendments
• Demand separate High Courts • TRS says common capital only for three years
• T Cong puts deadline at 10 years
• Clause assigning law and order to Governor opposed
• Seek national project status to Pranahita-Chevella project
Hyderabad: With the deadline to submit amendments to the draft Telangana Bill fast approaching, the TRS and the Telangana Congress MLAs on Thursday made a beeline to the Speaker’s office with written submissions.
While the TRS legislators said that Hyderabad should be kept as a common capital of both the proposed States for a period not exceeding three years, the T Congress said the residuary State should construct a new capital and shift at the earliest. It should not exceed the 10-year deadline, they added.
“Having a common capital would throw up new problems for both the States, especially for Telangana. Hence the residuary State should establish a new capital and shift at the earliest,’’ they stated. Both TRS and T Congress leaders opposed giving administrative powers of law & order in Hyderabad to the Governor. They also rejected the clause suggesting common High Court for both the States for a period of 10 years. They further demanded the Centre should make a provision to accord national project status to Pranahita-Chevella project. The T Congress MLAs suggested nine amendments to the draft Telangana Bill, whereas TRS members suggested 10 changes.
The leaders wanted a provision for constituting separate High Court for the residuary State within three months of the State bifurcation be arranged as the continuation of a common High Court would create difficulties in the functioning of the courts. The lower judicial services of both the States were, in any event, going to be separated from the appointed date and hence there was no difficulty or necessity for continuing a common High Court, they added.
Parliament may make provisions that notwithstanding the existing PPAs, the distribution of power be rationalised and the allocation of power of existing and under construction plants be rearranged by allotting the entire generated power within each successor State and any shortfall be compensated from the Central power allocated to the new State.
