YSRCP plans to approach court
YSRCP plans to approach court, Y S Jaganmohan Reddy , AP Reorganisation Bill 2014. Jagan further attacked Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, saying that his speech failed to address various issues of Seemandhra region such as capital city, financial aid and water issues.
New Delhi: The YSRCP is gearing up to approach court over what they say is “undemocratic” division of Andhra Pradesh. At a media conference in New Delhi on Friday, its president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy said that the Congress and the BJP connived to kill democracy in broad daylight by hurriedly passing the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Bill 2014.
He said that these two parties had have divided the State by shutting the doors and resorting to blackout of Lok Sabha TV coverage when the crucial Telangana Bill was taken up in the Lok Sabha.
Jagan further attacked Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, saying that his speech failed to address various issues of Seemandhra region such as capital city, financial aid and water issues. He said the Prime Minister had spoken about revenue deficit. He spoke about covering this gap for just one year. “I wonder what is to happen to Seemandhra after this one year," he questioned.
On the announcement pertaining to special category status for a period of five years for Seemandhra, he said it would not serve the purpose as the time frame was very short. Jagan was also critical of BJP, whose support in Parliament paved the way for bifurcating Andhra Pradesh.
Lashing out at UPA Chairperson and Congress President Sonia Gandhi over the passage of the Telangana Bill, Jagan compared Sonia’s ‘tyrant’ act with that of the world dictator Adolf Hitler. "When we talk about a tyrant, we remember Hitler. The way Andhra Pradesh has been split, Sonia Gandhi too will be remembered as a tyrant," he added. Jagan also slammed BJP which helped the Cong bifurcate the State. He warned that any party with 270 MPs at the Centre may break any State in the country, according to their whims and fancies, as had happened in the case of Andhra Pradesh.
