Hyderabad: TRS MPs on Wednesday demanded that Prime Minister Narendra Modi explain the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Bill, which was supported by all political parties in the Parliament, could be unconstitutional. They demanded that the BJP explain what was unscientific in the passage of the bill. They accused the current NDA government at the Centre, of passing most of the bills in the Parliament without discussion.

Speaking to the media persons in New Delhi along with MPs Nama Nageshwara Rao, Maloth Kavitha, G Ranjit Reddy and others on the remarks made by Prime Minister Modi on the formation of Telangana, TRS Parliamentary Party leader K Keshava Rao criticised the Prime Minister for inappropriately mentioning the creation of Telangana State. He said with his statements, the Prime Minister had insulted the people of Telangana and making such comments against the formation of a State after getting consent from the Parliament were uncalled for.

Keshava Rao said the bifurcation of erstwhile Andhra Pradesh was an emotional moment as people of Telangana realised their decades of dream, following unrelented efforts. “The bill was introduced in the Parliament only after an extensive study of the issue. When any such key bill is to be voted on, all the members supporting the bill must be counted. The BJP members also supported the State Reorganisation bill,” he reminded.

As both the ruling and the opposition parties supported the bill, Keshava Rao said there was no question of lack of support for it. The Speaker announced the passage of the bill upon receiving two-thirds majority support in the Parliament and the President gave his consent only after both the Houses approved it. He reminded that the creation of three States during the Vajpayee government were not event-free and some members even tried to attack the then Prime Minister Vajpayee.
