Is there a legal hurdle to the new state Telangana ?
- 5 years ago
With both houses of Parliament approving the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Bill 2014, paving way for the creation of Telganana as the 29th state, the political turmoil over its future is certainly over but the political parties are now fighting to take credit for clearing all hurdles from its path to statehood.
Reacting to the passage of the Telangana Bill in the Rajya Sabha, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Arun Jaitley said that it was a historic day, and that he was happy that his party's efforts to deal with the issue had paid off.
"This is a historic day and I am happy that the BJP's efforts have paid off. We could have opposed the Bill, but we didn't. We have played an important role in passing this legislation," Jaitley told reporters late on Thursday.
In its reaction to the development, Union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde said that the bill had been passed with the support of majority of the people in the Rajya Sabha including the BJP.
"Two days back bill was passed in Lok Sabha and the Opposition had also supported it. When the bill went to the Rajya Sabha, it was passed because of the support of the BJP and the other parties," Shinde said.
Shinde, however, stressed, "Sonia Gandhi and the party decided to give justice to the people of Seemandhra and everyone supported the passage of Telangana."
Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati said that it was important for all the larger states to be divided into small parts for better functioning.
"It should be thought that the larger states should be divided into small parts. This will clear out things. Uttar Pradesh is still a big state even after formation of Uttarakhand. Things would be better if four states are formed out of it," said Mayawati.
