BJP will back Telangana Bill, says Sushma swaraj


Hyderabad: BJP national Leader Shushuma swaraj & Rajnath singhsaid on Thursday that his party will support the government sponsored Telangana Bill in Parliament. “There is no confusion. Our stand is very clear. We will support the Bill in Parliament. BJP stands by its firm commitment to Telangana,” Singh said in New Delhi on Thursday evening. Rajnath Singh’s statement comes as a major morale booster for supporters of the separate state especially since senior BJP leaders L.K. Advani and Sushma Swaraj had said earlier in the day that the Bill had not been properly introduced in the Lok Sabha by the home minister amidst the ruckus that rocked the house. When asked to comment on Advani’s adverse comments, Rajnath Singh said, “I am unaware of what he said. We have not taken any U-turn. I am spelling out our party’s stand. Our party will support the Telangana Bill.” The BJP national president, however, said that the BJP would certainly ask the central government to address the Seemandhra issues. Several BJP leaders, advocates and others from AP had rushed to Rajnath Singh after Advani and Swaraj’s comments and warned Rajnath Singh to clear the air immediately or face mass resignation from the party in Telangana. Rajnath Singh assured the agitated leaders that the party would stand by its commitment to Telangana. The cause of the anxiety among the pro-Telangana faction was Swaraj claiming that the AP Reorganisation Bill was not introduced as per the laid down procedures. “I don’t know when the Speaker came and the Bill was introduced. No papers were laid in the House. We are not against the introduction of the Bill. But we never imagined that the Bill would be introduced in such a way. We will not talk to the government in any form,” Swaraj had said. She alleged that the Congress was trying to gain political mileage in Telangana by moving the Bill and then creating anarchy to stall it, so that the party would gain in the Seemandhra region. “Today’s incidents put Parliament to shame. MPs went physical and released gas in which some MPs were hurt. Looks like the government wanted this ruckus. I was in Parliament till the trouble began. There was no mention about the Bill in the agenda. After the spray attack, I wanted to stay but was advised to leave,” she said. Senior BJP leader and MP, Jaswant Singh expressed horror at the proceedings in the House. “Parliamentary institution has been destroyed. For the sake of some votes the government is compromising on everything. It’s wrong for the government to say the Bill has been introduced. I was present in the House.”

Hyderabad: YSR Congress party president YS Jaganmohan Reddy on Saturday continued his indefinite fast even as he was shifted from one hospital to another in view of his deteriorating condition. 

Jagan, as the MP from Kadapa is popularly known, was shifted late Friday night to Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS) for better treatment but he refused to end the fast, which entered seventh day Saturday to protest bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh without justice to all regions. 

The doctors have warned that his condition may further deteriorate, if he continued his fast. 

Jagan's mother YS Vijayamma, wife Bharati and brother-in-law Anil Kumar were not allowed to meet Jagan. They left the hospital after seeing him from a distance. 

The MP is only drinking water since he began his fast in Chanchalguda Central Jail Sunday. He was shifted to Osmania Hospital late Thursday night. 

Vijayamma, who is also honorary president of the party, and other party leaders had Friday appealed to him to call off the hunger strike. 

Jagan's mother and wife filed a memo in CBI court, seeking permission for one of them to stay with Jagan in the hospital. The plea will be heard Saturday. 

Jagan is in jail since May last year in a disproportionate assets case.
