YSR Congress party on Thursday declared that it will not allow any discussion on the draft Bill in the State Assembly and will continue to disrupt the proceedings.
This was announced by party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy. He asserted that his party would press for a resolution against the division in the Assembly and see that irrational division of the State would be stopped. “Once we yield to the discussion on the draft Bill, it will tantamount to agreeing for the division of State and we will not allow that to happen,” Jagan thundered.
He pointed out that in the normal course, the Assembly has to pass a resolution seeking the division of the State which will be sent to the Centre.
A draft Bill will then be prepared on the basis of the resolution which has to be taken up for discussion by the State Assembly.
“But things are happening the other way round redefining democracy and there is imperative need to fight this injustice,” he said.
“The Centre has unilaterally sent the draft Bill and the Government has tabled it and wanted to discuss it and is rushing through the process. This reverse process is not acceptable. We will press for a resolution seeking a united State in the Assembly first and will not take up discussion on the draft Bill as that will infer that we are in agreement to the state division,” he said.
