Andhra CM Kiran Reddy gives notice for sending back Telangana bill to president

Earlier, taking an aggressive stand against bifurcation of the state, a defiant chief minister lashed out at the central government for sending the bill without following the constitutional and parliamentary procedures.

Resuming his speech on the bill, Kiran Reddy said the bill was full of mistakes and lacunae. He also criticized the central government for sending the bill without information and for turning down the request of the legislators for information about some contents of the bill.

He said the bill can't be discussed in the house in the present form. "The centre is not clear whether it is a draft bill or the bill," he remarked.

Kiran Reddy pointed out that the bill does not contain the objects and reasons, the scope of proposals or the financial memorandum.
