Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Seeks Rejection of Telangana Bill Saturday Jan 25,2014

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy on Saturday Jan 25,2014 invoked Rule 77 while forwarding a resolution stating, "The assembly resolves to request the President not to recommend the AP (Reoganisation) Bill for introduction in Parliament as it seeks to bifurcate the state without any reason/basis."

If the Speaker allows Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy, who heads the Congress government in the state, to move the resolution, it is likely to get the assembly's nod as the chief minister is certain to receive the backing of a majority of the MLAs from the coastal and Rayalseema regions.

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy's masterstroke, aimed at thwarting the Centre's plans to get the state legislature's seal of approval on the statehood bill and positioning him as the most vociferous champion of the united Andhra cause, has added a new element to the situation.

This may upset the Centre's plans to seek the passage of the bill in Parliament when it resumes its proceedings on February 5,2014

The Andhra Pradesh assembly has time till Thursday Jan 30,2014 to finalise its position on the bill
