Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy on Wednesday Jan 22,2014 stoutly opposed the proposed bifurcation of the state and said it would be detrimental to all regions.
Taking part in the ongoing debate on the draft Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Bill 2013 in the Assembly this evening, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy, amidst disruption by Telangana MLAs, said it was his misfortune that he had to speak on the bifurcation issue.
"Anybody would love to become Chief Minister. But it's my misfortune that I have become CM and got to speak on the (bifurcation) issue."
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy, who had openly opposed the Congress Working Committee's July 30 resolution to split AP and create a new state of Telangana, spoke on the floor of the House what he had been saying in public in the last seven months.
"Our CWC has taken a decision, but I am totally opposing it. It's not in the interest of anyone ''
Though it is customary for the CM to speak after members of various parties and also the Leader of Opposition have completed their speeches, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy began his address despite Chandrababu Naidu -leader of the Opposition, not taking part in the debate
AP Assembly gets 7 more days to discuss Telangana
The Assembly will now meet continuously from tomorrow until January 30, except the holiday on January 26, to complete the debate on the draft Bill.
There was, however, no clarity on whether or not the Bill would be put to vote.
As many as 9024 amendments and suggestions proposed by members from Seemaandhra and Telangana regions would have to be considered before the "views of the Legislature" are communicated to the President of India.
