Hyderabad,
Jan 15: Fissures appear to be surfacing in the YSR Congress already.
Party MLA Gurunatha Reddy said on Tuesday that he personally opposed
bifurcation of the State, opposing the stand taken by the party in the
letter it gave to the Union Home Minister in the recent all-party
meeting at Delhi. Gurunatha Reddy also said that if the State were to be
divided under unavoidable circumstances, then Rayalaseema State also
should be formed. He said he was ready to lay down his life, to prevent
bifurcation of the State. He said party's opinion on Telangana was
different from his own personal view. He also said that he would attend
the Samaikyandhra meeting being organized by Minister Ganta Srinivasa
Rao, if invited. He said that it was due to the selfishness of some
leaders that the Telangana issue came to the fore and expressed anger
that some were talking as if the government had already conceded the
separate State.
Referring to the view of some that all
should abide by the decision of the Centre, he said the Centre should
ascertain the views of majority of people. He has asserted that people
of Rayalaseema were for the State being kept united. He said it was not
easy to divide the State. He has urged the Centre to take a decision
that was acceptable to all and added that he would not accept division
personally.
Meanwhile, another senior leader KK Mahender
Reddy strongly opposed the statement of Gurunatha Reddy. He said if any
one entertained any personal view, it should be expressed only in the
party fora. He said it was improper for members of the party to have
personal views as against the party's stand.
It is learnt
that the YSR Congress leadership had also reprimanded Gurunatha Reddy
for expressing his views against Telangana formation. It is learnt that
the party advised all concerned not to express their personal views on
sensitive matters on public platforms. They were advised to raise such
issues only in party meetings. Stating that the party had already
expressed its stand on the Telangana issue, the leadership told the
members that it was improper for the members to take a stand different
from the party's stand.
