Emulate Mayawati: TRS tells Cong, TDP
TNN | Nov 9, 2011, 05.54AM IST
HYDERABAD: Calling upon the Congress and TDP to emulate Uttar Pradesh
chief minister Mayawati's decision to introduce a resolution in the UP
Assembly on the bifurcation of UP into four smaller states, the
Telangana Rashtra Samithi on Tuesday demanded that both the parties
respect popular public opinion in the region by passing a resolution
in the AP Assembly in support of Telangana state during the winter
session.
Welcoming Maywati's initiative, Sircilla legislator K Taraka Rama Rao
said the decision to bifurcate UP further into four smaller states -
Purvanchal, Harith Pradesh, Awadh and Bundelkhand for administrative
convenience reflected a popular CM's sincerity in respecting public
sentiment and perception. "Her desire to ensure equitable share in
governance to all sections of the society in accordance with the ideas
of the founder of Indian constitution Babasaheb Ambdekar are laudable.
Mayawati's determination to create smaller states should be an
eye-opener to both chief minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy and opposition
leader N Chandrababu Naidu," he said.
Rao accused the Congress party of dragging its feet on the issue and
said it is sad that Congress leaders have been trying to create a
controversy by stating that any such move by Mayawati would result in
the Centre linking both the issues and announce the constitution of a
second States Reorganisation Commission (2nd SRC).
Cautioning Congress party against toying with the idea of a second SRC
at this decisive hour, the TRS said it would ensure that Congress is
wiped out of the political arena in the region if it does not put an
end to the delay-tactics on the formation of T state. "We demand the
Centre to honour its Dec 9 announcement on Telangana," he said.
A votary of smaller states, Mayawati is said to have launched the
bifurcation move in a bid to floor her three main political opponents
-- Congress, Samajwadi Party and BJP during the March 2012 elections
to the UP assembly. She is said to be keen on introducing a resolution
to that effect in the Uttar Pradesh Vidhan Sabha on Nov 21. Uttar
Pradesh is not only India's largest state, but also the world's sixth
largest administrative unit.
