YSRCP deplores the hush-hush passage of T bill

Hyderabad, Feb 18 : Coming down heavily on the Cong-led UPA Government for ensuring passage of Telangana bill in Lok Sabha in a hush-hush manner, YSRCP has said that the Congress leadership has committed a fraud on Indian democracy through its deplorable act.

Addressing media people here on Tuesday along with party spokespersons Vasreddy Padma, JupudiPrabhakar and Gattu Ramachandra Rao, Ambati Rambabu deplored the passage of the bill keeping the public in darkness. Rambabu sought an explanation from the BJP for its silent support to passing the T-bill with voice vote despite its high talk on rendering justice to Seemandhra area all these days and its asking Congress not to pass the bill with voice vote.

“The Government has finished the task of passing the T bill without letting the country know of the happenings in Lok Sabha by not allowing media persons and switching off the live telecast of the House proceedings by LS TV. BJP owes an explanation to the nation on their support to the bill after talking of justice to the Seemandhra area,” he stated and asked BJP: “Is it the result of your collusion with Cong?” All democratic persons should question the unconstitutional act of the UPA Government, Rambabu said.

Party spokesperson Jupudi Prabhakar, who also addressed reporters, lashed out at the passage of the T bill saying that Congress raised the T bogey and resorted to division of the state to take on YSRCP chief Sri Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy aiming at reducing his political clout.

“BJP also exhibited its 4-tongued political duplicity over Telangana issue in collusion with Congress,” he said and added: “Nothing is yet over on Telangana. The bill needs to be passed by Rajya Sabha. Supreme Court also may examine the issue in detail.”

Prabhakar asked people to teach a fitting lesson to the Congress in the next elections for its despicable act of passing the T-Bill in secrecy.

Spokespersons Vasireddy Padma and Gattu Ramachandra Rao said the UPA Government had given all parliamentary conventions in passing the T bill. “Both Congress and BJP will be taught a fitting lesson by the people in the forthcoming elections for the undemocratic act,” they warned.

Gattu Ramachandra Rao said the T bill passage in Lok Sabha is the result of an agreement between Congress and BJP. “Perhaps this is the result of an agreement between Sonia and BJP leaders under which Sonia would be allowed to escape to Italy and all pending cases against BJP leaders revoked.” he observed.  INN
