Vijayawada: Local MP Lagadapati Rajagopal on Saturday asserted that they would not allow the UPA government to table the Telangana State formation bill in the Parliament till May 2014. However, he said it would be left to the people after May 2014 to decide on the fate of the Andhra Pradesh. Speaking at the meet-the-press programme here, the MP said that Parliament members and the Union Ministers from Seemandhra had prevented the Central government from preparing the ‘note’ on Telangana formation and presenting it to the Central Cabinet.
He further claimed that they have prevailed upon the Congress leadership to constitute Antony committee instead of Cabinet Committee to listen to the objections of the Seemandhra leaders on the division of the State. He further said that they had a strategy to postpone the division of the State till May 2014 by which time the term of the present Parliament would end and the country would go for the general elections. Lagadapati also said that the Parliament would have its final session in February 2014 and reiterated that they would not allow the Telangana bill to be place in the House.
Rajagopal complimented the different sections of the people for agitating voluntarily for the united State without the support of the political parties. He criticised the Telugu Desam and the Communist Party of India for giving letters to the Center at the all-party meetings in support of division of the State and the YSR Congress for leaving the issue to the Congress. He blamed them for taking pro-Telangana stand earlier and blaming the Congress now over its decision.
