Hyderabad: BJP leader Dr Nagam Janardhan Reddy has alleged that while AICC Chief Sonia Gandhi was responsible for gas price hike at the Centre, Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy divested Telangana Minister D Sridhar Babu of his Legislature Affairs portfolio on the eve of New Year.

Speaking at the Assembly media point here on Friday, Nagam asked the Chief Minister as to why they were not running the House and wondered whether the latter has no respect for President Pranab Mukharji. He said it was not proper for the Chief Minister to disrespect the President by not allowing the House to debate on Andhra Pradesh State Re-organization Bill-2013. He also stated that it was not proper on the part of Seemandhra TDP, YSRCP and Congress MLAs to stop the debate on the T Bill. “They may be afraid of Telangana MLAs exposing injustices meted out to the region due to Seemandhra leaders”, he said.

Nagam also asked the Seemandhra MLAs to tell what injustices were meted out to the Seemandhra region in the united State. He asked the Seemandhra MLAs whether they were not yet satisfied with the utilization of more than 50 percent of the Krishna river water and allocation of SEZs established in Telangana region to Seemandhra region leaders.

“The Seemandhra leaders are afraid of the Telangana leaders that the latter may expose their injustices done to the Telangana people”, he pointed out. He said the Telangana region had lost valuable 369 lives during 1969 movement and 1200 lives now for the sake of separate Telangana State. He asked the Seemandhra leaders whether they would stop the Andhra Pradesh State Re-organisation-2013 Bill in the Parliament in case the debate didn’t take place in the State Assembly. Nagam said BJP strongman LK Adwani made it clear that the Bill on Telangana will not stop at any cost.

Alleging that the Seemandhra leaders were dishonoring the Assembly and behaving atrociously, Nagam advised Kiran Kumar Reddy to resign to the Chief Minister post if he had no interest on Bill. He said the last ball will hit his own face if the Chief Minister continued to bat till the last ball. He also alleged that the YSRCP was speaking differently everyday on Telangana issue and wondered what they would speak tomorrow.

Stating that the President didn’t ask the Assembly to pass a resolution on Samaikyandhra, Nagam warned the Chief Minister that the Telangana MLAs will not keep quiet if they did the same in the Assembly.
