TRS calls for bandh in Andhra Pradesh, accuses Chidambaram of betrayal | Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) Chief K Chandrashekhar
Rao on Wednesday evening gave a call for bandh across Andhra Pradesh in protest of the U-turn by the Centre on creation of Telangana state. Giving a call for
closure, K Chandrashekhar Rao or KCR on late Wednesday evening said: " Home minister has betrayed us." "I will resign tomorrow," Rao was quoted by a private channel.
K. Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) was a member of the Telugu Desam Party until he quit
the party and formed the TRS in 2001 at Hyderabad. Earlier, in the evening, Union
Home Minister held a press conference in the national capital and appealed for
restoration of peace and harmony in Andhra Pradesh and urged the people of different
regions of Andhra Pradesh, all political parties and students to withdraw their
agitations. "At a meeting of all political parties convened by the Chief Minister
of Andhra Pradesh on December 7, 2009 a consensus emerged on the question of formation
of a separate State of Telangana. A statement was made on behalf of the Central
Government on December 9, 2009 on receipt of the minutes of the meeting, " said
Chidambaram. "However, after the statement, the situation in Andhra Pradesh has
altered. A large number of political parties are divided on the issue. There is
a need to hold wide ranging consultations with all political parties and groups
in the State. Government of India will take steps to involve all concerned in
the process," P. Chidambaram added. "Meanwhile, it is necessary that peace and
harmony are restored in Andhra Pradesh and the State Government is allowed to
focus on governance and development." "The Central Government appeals to the people
of the different regions of Andhra Pradesh and to all political parties and students
to withdraw their agitations and maintain peace, harmony and brotherhood," the
Home Minister added. However, on Wednesday, violence broke out in Osmania University
following which students gave a call of 48 hours Bandh here. Security personnel
have been deployed to prevent any untoward incident. The Government has imposed
Section 144 to prevent any untoward incident.
