Telangana bill with all documents sent to Delhi

However, it took three days for officials to compile the views expressed by the legislators while participating in the debate. The officials of the legislature got translated speeches made in Telugu and Urdu into English. Majority of the legislators had submitted their views, suggestions and amendments in writing.

Speaker N. Manohar had announced that that proposals for amendments and expression of views in writing by the members numbering 9,072 were received. According to officials, 50 copies of the documents were sent as sought by the union home ministry.

Legislature Secretary Raja Sadaram Sunday handed over the bill along with all the documents to Chief Secretary P.K. Mohanty. The latter held meetings with other senior officials and finalized the arrangements for sending the entire material to Delhi. They are also believed to have briefed Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy, whose covering letter, was also reportedly enclosed.

It was the chief minister who had moved the resolution rejecting the bill in the assembly. While he and other leaders from Seemandhra are confident that the President will take the resolutions into consideration before taking a decision on sending the bill to the parliament, the leaders from Telangana argue that the resolutions would have no impact on creation of Telangana state.
