CM, Babu yielding to Delhi dictates: Jagan

Sodam (Chittoor dist), Jan 9 : Reiterating that the Chief Minister and Leader of Opposition have yielded to the arrogance of Delhi and are helping in expediting the division process, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has said participation in the debate means giving unbridled support to the draft Bill which has landed in the State Assembly by-passing all precedents and healthy democratic procedures.

“Those who are finding fault with us for rejecting the discussion on the draft Bill and seeking a resolution were not known to have raised their voice against the division of the of state. They neither sat on a dharna, nor did they give an affidavit to the President opposing the division and they have not even written a letter to the Centre on Samaikyandhra,” he told a large gathering here after unveiling the statue of YSR.

The arrogance of Delhi has come in to full play when it has unilaterally taken a decision and sent the draft Bill to the State assembly. Though 70 % of the people and majority of the MLAs are opposed to the division, it did not take the Assembly into confidence and has brazenly gone ahead with the division process.

Ghulam Nabi Azad comes as an emissary of Sonia Gandhi and things fall in place with Congress and TDP falling in line and agreeing for the debate. “Once you agree for the debate it means that you have accepted the division of the State in principle. This is our contention and we still insist that a resolution should be adopted in the house before the Bill is taken up for discussion.

“Kiran Kumar Reddy and N Chandrababu Naidu have joined the conspiracy of dividing the State and have shifted to top gear after Azad came to town which shows that the degradation of politics and the ugly face of manipulative politics,” he said.

While they have been going all out to help Sonia Gandhi who is determined to divide the state, the two leaders are never seen in the Assembly when the House is on the threshold of a crucial juncture. Naidu has been directing his members from his chambers to cry out regional slogans as the party stand is unknown.

They are the joint betrayers as they are helping out the Centre in the division which is being opposed by majority of the people from Kuppam to Srikakulam. The slogan has been Samaikyandhra all over. The conspirators will be washed away in the tide of people’s mandate and we will win over 30 MP seats and decide who the Prime Minister will be, he said.

YSR has been remembered by the masses as he touched their hearts through welfare schemes. The present day leaders are not bothered about the students who will be at a loss for a place to search for jobs and farmers who will be deprived of water when the state is divided.
