VHR condemns Centre’s dictate on city’s Law & Order

Hyderabad, Aug 9 (INN): Rajya Sabha MP and senior Congress leader V Hanumantha Rao on Saturday condemned the orders issued by the Centre asking the Telangana Government to delegate the Law and Order powers in Greater Hyderabad to Governor.

Speaking to media persons at Gandhi Bhavan here, VHR said that the implementation of Centre’s dictate would create two powers Centres in the Telangana State. If the Governor is delegated with the powers of Law and Order, then what will be the role of the Chief Minister and Home Minister? he asked. VHR said that the Centre could intervene only in the cases of failure of State Government. Instead of giving timely instructions, the Centre is trying to encroach upon the rights of the State Government.
