'No-Trust motion will be moved against UPA'
RAJAHMUNDRY: Local MP Vundavalli Arun Kumar has said that the Seemandhra MPs will move a no-confidence motion against the Congress-led UPA government if it tables the Telangana Bill during the forthcoming Budget Session of the Parliament.
Participating in a Meet-the-Press programme organised by the Andhra Pradesh Journalists Forum (APJF) here, he said that the Seemandhra MPs were trying their best to stall the Bill by enlisting the support of MPs belonging to other parties.
The UPA government was going ahead with the Bill in violation of the Constitution to divide the state, Arun Kumar said, and observed that the government would have no right to say no to demands for division of other states if it bifurcated Andhra Pradesh.
'Why did the government send the Bill to the AP Assembly when its opinion does not have any significance?' he questioned.
Recalling that the division of Bihar was done after the Assembly had unanimously passed the Bill, he said in Andhra Pradesh, the Assembly as well as the Council had rejected the Bill. Earlier, there was only Hyderabad state not Telangana state, he added.
The Rajahmundry MP said as per records, with the consent of a majority of MLAs and MPs of Hyderabad state, the Telangana region was merged with that state and Hyderabad city was made its capital. 'No leader from Telangana participated in a meeting conducted in the year 1992 by the leaders of various states demanding separate states,' he said.
Chief Minister Nallari Kiran Kumar Reddy and PCC president Botcha Satyanarayana had made a presentation to the Congress Working Committee (CWC) on the problems that would arise out of division of the state, but the party was in no mood to listen to them.
The UPA government had tabled the Sri Krishna Commission report in the Parliament for discussion. The Union home secretary had informed the chief secretary of the state that the UPA government would table in the Parliament a Telangana Bill different than the one tabled and rejected in the state Assembly, the MP disclosed.
