YSR Congress calls for AP bandh tomorrow over Telangana bill

“The Chair announcing that the Bill is tabled within 10 seconds of her arrival shows that the Centre has no respect for democratic values and wants to push through its agenda by hook or crook and to sternly oppose this, we call for Andhra Pradesh bandh on February 14,” he said.

In a hard-hitting attack, Jagan said it was “very shameful” on the part of Congress to indulge in divisive politics.

Jagan also launched a vitriolic attack on Congress president Sonia Gandhi, saying she is behaving “worse than Hitler and is carrying out the division in an authoritarian and unilateral manner“.

“We will fight till the last post and take up every form of agitation. We will explore legal option as well. The apex court cannot call the petition pre-mature this time after seeing what has happened in the House. In the next two days, I will lobby with all opposition parties and BJP to garner support for a united state,” Jagan told reporters in New Delhi.

“By Monday when the Lok Sabha meets again, we will ensure to gather enough support to stall the Bill and the undemocratic division,” he added.
