Hyderabad, Dec 2: Government Whip in the Assembly and Sangareddy MLA Toorpu Jayaprakash Reddy alias Jagga Reddy made a sensational statement today. He said that he would address a letter to Congress president Sonia Gandhi and high command requesting them not to concede separate Telangana State.
Speaking to the media here on Sunday, Jagga Reddy said that he does not see any benefit with creation of separate Telangana State and he would convey his opinion to Sonia Gandhi soon. He said that he would go to New Delhi and meet the party high command and tell them about his opinion. He said that he would ask the party high command to provide a special package to the region instead of bifurcation of the State. However, he said that he would not object any decision taken by the high command. “I will not change my stand even if the high command created separate Telangana State”, he added.
He opined that communal parties would be strengthened further if separate Telangana State was created. He said that he has evidence to prove that separate Telangana State was not necessary.
Reacting to Jagga Reddy’s remarks, several Telangana Congress leaders condemned his stand saying that he should keep his opinion with himself and not make it public. They expressed fears that the Telangana leaders would be at receiving end in the coming general elections along with Jagga Reddy. Making it clear that they totally disapprove Jagga Reddy’s statement, the Telangana Congress leaders pointed out that Jagga Reddy was a habitual defector. He had joined the TRS after leaving the BJP and later joined the ruling Congress for greener pastures; but they (Congress leaders) remained in the Congress from the beginning of their political career.
