Uncertainty over HC bifurcation piques Telangana
The Parliamentary Party of the Telangana Rashtra Samiti here on Friday warned the Centre against continued prolonging of uncertainty over the bifurcation of the High Court despite the issue figuring in the AP Reorganization Act, 2014. Addressing media on Friday, TRS MP B Vinod Kumar, said politics over HC was bad and one did not expect the Centre to do it.
New Delhi: The Parliamentary Party of the Telangana Rashtra Samiti here on Friday warned the Centre against continued prolonging of uncertainty over the bifurcation of the High Court despite the issue figuring in the AP Reorganization Act, 2014. Addressing media on Friday, TRS MP B Vinod Kumar, said politics over HC was bad and one did not expect the Centre to do it.
Bifurcation of the HC was a justifiable demand and it should not have taken three years for the Centre to do it. People in Telangana were feeling bad about it and the TRS would be forced to make it a campaign issue in future if the Centre did not relent. He said The TRS had been insisting on the same since long but its questions in Parliament and motions under Rule 377 and Zero Hour interventions had all come to a naught.
The TRS MPs' had to stall the proceedings of the Parliament too unfortunately over the issue and despite the assurances of the Ministers and the Prime Minister the issue was being delayed, he said. The TRS had always kept the interests of the nascent State above everything and hence did not resort to a confrontational attitude all these days. That would not be the case henceforth and the Centre should act at once. Otherwise, this winter session of the LS would witness serious trouble, he said.
Also referring to the delimitation of the Assembly seats in both the Telugu States, he said the promised number of seats as per the Reorganization Act, should be given to Telangana - i.e., 34 more taking the total number from 119 to 153. Numerous representations had been made by his party to the Ministry of Home Affairs but it had fallen on deaf ears, he said.
The Congress on the other hand had a moral obligation to press for the delimitation as it was in power when the Reorganization took place and the Act was drafted by its leaders. The Center which reshaped the boundaries of Telangana without the assent of its Assembly in ceding seven mandals in Khammam district through a mere ordinance because of its political will should display a similar will in these issues too, he demanded.
