On Telengana Issue

July 31, 2013

B.V. Raghavulu, Secretary of the Andhra Pradesh State Committee of the CP(M) has issued the following statement:

For the last three and half years Andhra Pradesh state has been in throes of uncertainty and confusion because of the opportunism of Congress party on the issue of forming of separate Telangana. It is a welcome development that at last the Congress party that is ruling both at centre and in the state has finally taken a clear stand on the Telangana issue. We request other parties that are speaking in double voices in both regions to at least now come out with clear statement on the issue.

Political parties should prepare to take a decision as per their respective stands in the highest forum in parliamentary democracy, Parliament, without giving any scope to rouse mutual hatred or animosities.

On Telengana Issue

Press Statement

The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the following statement:

On Telengana Issue

The political crisis in Andhra Pradesh with regard to the Telengana issue has deepened with the resignation of many MLAs and MPs belonging to the Telengana region. The inaction of the Central Government and the Congress leadership in resolving the issue is the main cause for the present impasse.

It is more than six months since the Justice Sri Krishna Committee submitted its report to the Central Government. The Home Minister had convened a meeting of political parties from Andhra Pradesh soon after. But after that, the government has not taken any decision.

The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) demands that the government take a decision on the matter immediately.
