Telangana Congress leaders on Sunday warned chief minister N Kiran Reddy against putting hurdles in the way of formation of new state and told him to stop doling out sops to Seemandhra region.
In a meeting, titled Sadbhavana Goshti,a thanksgiving meeting to AICC president Sonia Gandhi for the CWC resolution in favour of new state,Telangana leaders said the CM should stop issuing GOs in favour Seemandhra. Congress leaders, including panchayati raj minister K Jana Reddy, former PCC presidents D Srinivas and V Hanumantha Rao, Rajya Sabha member Rapolu Ananda Bhaskar, were present in the meeting where some leaders tore into Kiran Kumar, who they said was in a GO issuance-spree ahead of the bifurcation of state. We have observed the CMs hyper activity in signing files and clearing proposals favouring Seemandhra. On one hand,he says the Seemandhra leaders would prevail upon the Congress high command to stop the division, and on the other he is issuing GOs, doling out sops to one particular region, said Hanumantha Rao after the meeting.
The chief ministers move clearly indicates that he knows that division is inevitable and is in a hurry to do favours to his region, added Rao. The exasperation seems to have stemmed out of the chief ministers indifference to the repeated warnings issued by senior Telangana leaders against taking sides in such a crucial situation as the division was around the corner. Leaders charged Kiran Kumar for allegedly instigating the Seemandhra stir and showing disregard to Telangana sentiments, which the CM has vehemently denied.
So far, the planning department had issued 10 GOs doling out Rs 102.6 crore for the CMs home district Chittoor. Beginning with GO No 416 that released Rs 3.69 crore, nine other GOs were issued clearing works worth Rs 102.6 crore.Piler with a population of about 60,000 people has been sanctioned a sports stadium, a new hospital among others,which some critics say smacks of special treatment.
Speaking in the meeting,Jana Reddy said the CM must convince the protesting Seemandhra leaders to cooperate with the Centre for carving out the new state. Everyone knows that the formation of Telangana is certain. At this stage,the ongoing agitation is not called for. While we appeal to the Seemandhra leaders to cooperate, we also request the CM to advice them properly, said Jana Reddy.
Since any further delay would add to chaos, former PCC president D Srinivas urged the Centre to expediate the process of formation of Telangana and introduce the bill in Parliament at the earliest.
