Congress lacks conviction to create Telangana: BJP

BJP has demanded government bring a Bill on formation of Telangana in the on-going winter session of Parliament and it will support the move.

Pointing to the chasm in Congress on the issue, he said while the Prime Minister and the union cabinet cleared the Telangana Bill, the Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister and union ministers from Seemandhra region are opposing it.

Moreover, they are instigating the people and leading agitations against creation of Telangana, BJP charged.

“Being the ruling party, it is highly irresponsible on the part of Congress as it is indulging in double-speak. The union government proposes Telangana but the state Congress openly opposes formation of Telangana state,” he said.

He alleged the Congress-led governments are more concerned and motivated by their electoral considerations and lack the conviction needed to create a new state.
