Despite the repeated clarifications by the Congress bigwigs, including the latest one from AICC general secretary Digvijay Singh, Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy is still confident that Andhra Pradesh would not be bifurcated at any cost.
He asserted this to the Seemandhra ministers who had called on him in his chambers in the Assembly premises on Wednesday.
He pointed out that Article 371 (D) has to be amended before the division takes place and this was clearly indicated in the draft A. P. State Reorganization Bill, 2013.
The Chief Minister also indicated his game plan to derail the Bill by reminding his cabinet colleagues from Seemandhra region that a discussion and voting on each and every clause should take place when the Bill comes up for discussion in the House.
Kiran was also confident that all the Congress members from the Seemandhra region would remain united and none can bring a split among them in their struggle and commitment for keeping the State united.
