There are many speculations and demands for the withdrawal of the decision of the bifurcation of the State of Andhra Pradesh by CWC. Keeping in view of the protests in Seemandhra and resignations from the leaders of the Congress party, it is expected that the Congress party may review the situation and reconsider. But Digvijay Singh has been telling time and again that the process of bifurcation will go ahead but the grievances can be brought to the notice of the Committee created by the Center under the leadership of the Defence Minister A.K.Antony.
It is also said that the committee is appointed to receive the complaints from the agitating leaders to make an amicable decision but not to withdraw the decision of bifurcation.
The Finance Minister Chidambaram also stated in the Rajya Sabha on Monday that “the government will take on board all views, including concerns on status of Hyderabad, before taking a decision on how to take forward the process.” He also said that the process will go according to the provisions in the Constitution of India and also practices followed in the past. But no time frame was announced by him.
Chidambaram also said that “Every political party's view will be kept in mind before the government takes a decision on how to take forward the process of the formation of the State of Telangana formation.”
He reminded that the process of bifurcation took two years in case of Uttarakhand, Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh during the NDA regime. He also reminded that the BJP first opposed Telangana but later supported it.
Chidambaram denied that the congress party is playing a dangerous game without due ‘home work’ done before making the decision. He said that the home work was already done by Srikrishna Committee with the suggestions in so many alternative formats.
For the accusations of BJP and TDP over the issue of bifurcation, Chidambaram also said that “The more you accuse the Congress party, the more you abuse the Congress party, the Congress party will become stronger and stronger.”
BJP leader Arun Jaitley said that after discussing the issue with the Congress party, they are as confused about the decision of the Congress party as they were before the discussion.
The statements, oppositions, views, protests, admissions, going by rule and the constitution, taking everyone’s view point in to considerations, will be done in due course and all these statements of all the political leaders are not clearing the common man’s simple question whether he belongs to Telangana or Andhra or Rayalaseema as to the action that will be taken and when it will be taken.
