Farooq not in favour of carving out Telangana State, says it will open up Pandora's box | Union Minister for New and Renewable Energy Farooq Abdullah on Tuesday disagreed with the Centre's move to create a separate State of Telangana, an issue
which has also strengthened demands for other small States in different parts of the country. "I am not in favour of the way they want to break up. I think
it's a Pandora box. It will not stop. And that money that we need today for hospitals,
schools and better conditions of people will be spent on building secretariat,
constructions of govt. houses and on creating infrastructure which will not be
of any use. That money should be spent on the betterment of the people," said
Dr. Farooq Abdullah on the sidelines of a function related to inauguration of
the first commercial 2 mega watt solar power plant here. On Sunday, Andhra Pradesh
Chief Minister K. Rosaiah said that he had explained, during his discussions with
Central leaders, the apprehensions on pushing through a resolution. The Congress
high command too did not anticipate that the atmosphere would turn so tense following
the announcement on Telangana made by Union Home Minster P. Chidambaram.
According
to Rosaiah, the leadership thought of ending the fast launched by Telangana Rashtra
Samiti president K. Chandrasekhar Rao through a resolution in the Assembly. |
