Hyderabad, Jan 30: In a major setback for Congress-led UPA
government and Sonia Gandhi, Andhra Pradesh assembly on Thursday, Jan 30
rejected the much anticipated Telangana Bill. Chief Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy
played a crucial role in spoiling Congress's dream ahead of Lok Sabha election
2014. The state assembly rejected the bill by voice vote. The assembly also
passed a resolution moved by the CM rejecting the AP Reorganisation Bill.
Following this, the Assembly was adjourned sine die.
The CM earlier on Wednesday threatened to quit politics if the Andhra Pradesh
Reorganisation Bill, 2013, is tabled in Parliament in its current form. Reddy
was quoted as saying, "The Bill is incomprehensive and incomplete. What
the Centre has sent us cannot be accepted by anybody. Even then, if the Centre
tables it in Parliament, I will quit my post and quit politics."
Continuing his statement, the CM also added, "The Union home ministry
cheated us on the Telangana Bill. It is the responsibility of the home ministry
to check the Bill and ensure that it is in proper order before sending it to
the Assembly. I am not asking them to correct flaws, but am opposing the
Bill."
