Telugu Desam Party leaders Gali Muddukrishnama Naidu and Bojjala Gopalakrishna Reddy demanded either immediate implementation of Section-8 or make Hyderabad as a Union territory.

They said Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu has been demanding implementation of Section-8 for the last one year.

Muddukrishnama Naidu alleged that Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao was blackmailing the Governor on the issue and provoking the government employees. There was an understanding and accepted 35 sections in the Act. Why they did not oppose Section-8 at that time, he asked.

He also stated that Section-8 would be in force for 10 years. If they did not agree for the Section-8, let Hyderabad city be a Union Territory.

The Andhra people have same rights on Hyderagad city because people belonging to Andhra are paying about Rs 7000 to 8,000 taxes, he contended.

All government buildings have been built during united Andhra Pradesh and there should be valuation of these buildings and distribute them under 58:42 ratio, he said.

On the comment of KCR that he would go on hunger strike against implementation of Section 8, Gali said, “people knew about his fake hunger strike”.

Bojjala said Section-8 was incorporated in the APRA to infuse confidence among people of Andhra. Opposing implementation of Section 8 means they don’t want to give security to people of Andhra Pradesh, Reddy said.

He further said Section-8 and ACB case both are different issues. The Governor should immediately take an initiative to implement it, he demanded.
