AP Minister wants division of state
Politics in AP has changed direction. The Andhra minister Botsa made a sensational statement favouring division of the state.
BOTSA SATYANARAYANA, Minister for Panchayatraj, Andhra Pradesh, has once again created sensation with his words on the state that there was no problem if AP was separated into two states. He also disclosed that he and his wife Jhansi who is a Member of Parliament would like to give their personal version in a memorandum to Sri Krishna Committee in this regard. He said that there was no wrong in having two separate states and two Chief Ministers for Telugus, instead of one. Many Andhra- Rayalaseema leaders of Congress and TDP reacted seriously on Botsa’s statement and questioned his announcement in this crucial juncture. The Telangana leaders welcomed the statement of Botsa and asked the other leaders to follow suit. The TDP Rajayasabha MP Dr. Mysoora Reddy fired on the statement and asked the AICC high command to recommend the CM of AP to dismiss him. The Kurnool MLA GK Venkatesh also took the same view and said that if AP was separated, Rayalaseema will not be in Andhra. The most controversial Vijaywada MP, Rajagopal, has once again cleared that many have opinions but his stand was Unified Andhra Pradesh. He already submitted a 500 page document to the Sri Krishna Committee.
The Chief Minister Rosaiah and Veerappa Moily both were silent on the Botsa statement which indicates a doubt among the opposition political circles. Is it a drama played by the Congress, floating the statement to get the reactions of Andhra-Rayalaseema people or really Botsa himself has taken a decision to support Telangana to get his North Andhra developed in a separate state?
His main comment was that the Andhra people who have invested in Hyderabad, naturally desire a Unified Andhra Pradesh. But those were only five percent and remaining 95 percent don’t bother wherever the state capital is and whichever state they belonged to.
The Sri Krishna Committee is planning to visit the state in the first week of March to listen to the arguments of various sections of people for a couple of days. The BJP leader and former president of the party Venkaiah Naidu has cleared on Saturday that their party would not give any memoranda and their demand is to table the Telangana bill in the parliament.
