The BJP stance forced the government not to introduce the Bill in the Rajya Sabha even as Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and several UPA ministers were busy holding consultations with BJP leaders to convince them that there was no need for a Constitutional amendment to create Telangana
At the centre of the controversy is the interpretation on the special
powers conferred on the Governor on issues related to law and order in
Hyderabad, which would be the joint capital of both the successor States
for a maximum of 10 years.
The BJP’s case is that special powers given to the Governor under the
proposed Act are in contravention of the provisions of the Constitution
as law and order is a State subject.
Besides a Constitutional amendment, the BJP also wants a special package for Seemandhra
Though the UPA II Govt chose not to introduce the Bill in the Upper House, it was the cause for several disruptions on Wednesday Feb 19,2014
There was high drama in the Rajya Sabha with TDP M.P C.M. Ramesh pushing Secretary General Shumsher K. Sheriff in the morning hours, leading to immediate adjournment
TDP MP Ramesh created a storm in the Rajya Sabha today by snatching the papers from the Rajya Sabha secretary General, during the discussion on Telangana Bill, interacts with media at the Parliament House, in New Delhi on Wednesday Feb 19,2014
TDP M.P C M Ramesh later apologised and was let off without any action.
