YSRCP not harping for political mileage: Botcha
Former Minister and YSRCP leader Botcha Satyanarayana informed that a final decision would be taken on the party district president G Amarnath’s indefinite fast demanding a separate railway zone for Vizag basing on the ‘agitational action plan’ to be chalked out by the all-party core committee before April 14.
Visakhapatnam: Former Minister and YSRCP leader Botcha Satyanarayana informed that a final decision would be taken on the party district president G Amarnath’s indefinite fast demanding a separate railway zone for Vizag basing on the ‘agitational action plan’ to be chalked out by the all-party core committee before April 14.
It may be recalled that Amarnath threatened that he would launch indefinite fast from April 14 if the Centre fails to issue a positive statement sanctioning a separate railway zone to Vizag before April 13 and as a part of it, a round-table meeting was conducted here on Wednesday involving the leaders of all the parties, trade unions, student unions, educationists, journalists and JACs.
Addressing the round-table meeting, Botcha Satyanarayana said that the Vizag railway zone issue is not belongs to north Andhra alone, but a State issue and a resolution passed in this regard by the AP Legislative Assembly was already with the Centre. Discounting the allegations of some political parties that YSRCP is raising the railway zone issue for a political mileage, Satyanarayana said as the main Opposition party, the YSR Congress took the lead with the help of all sections of people since the issue was not redressed even after it was incorporated in the AP State Re-Organisation Act.
He appealed to the Centre to implement the issues of special status and separate railway zone that were mentioned in the Act without a go-by immediately respecting the Acts.
He questioned Union Minister M Venkaiah Naidu, why he was not exerting pressure on the Centre for a separate railway zone for Vizag when he was so interested to introduce a Bill in Parliament increasing the number of seats in the AP
Assembly.
The YSR Congress need not want any credit except the State development as a responsible Opposition party,” he said.
CPI leader Pydiraju extending full support to the indefinite fast to be launched by YSR Congress leader Amarnath, asked to chalk out an agitation plan, including staging a mega protest in New Delhi, while CPM district secretary
K Lokanadham said that the separate railway zone is possible when TDP and BJP are committed to the State’s development.
