As the T-Bill is getting ready to hit the state Assembly any time after 28th of this month, the state political situation is also getting heated-up gradually. TDP, which is in dilemma over its stand on bifurcation, has stick to its ‘equal justice’ point until now. But, how it’s going to react on the t-Bill is a point of interest.
So far, there is a general belief that TDP will let it both regional leaders argue on behalf of their people. However, if we go through its President Chandrababu Naidu’s latest statement, we can understand that TDP is going to oppose Telangana bill in state Assembly.
Chandrababu said “We insist the Centre to strictly confine to constitutional procedures in the bifurcation process otherwise we will be obliged to fight against it both at state and center levels. We suggest the Centre not to try any short cuts in this process. It must take the endorsement of state Assembly for the T-bill. There is Article 371 (D) and (E) that need to be amended, before seeking approval of the T-Bill. Unless, the T-Bill ensures equal justice to both regions, we can’t support it. Hence, we warn the Centre not to take the people of the state for granted.”
If, TDP is going to oppose the T-Bill in the Assembly, then what would be the fate of its Telangana leaders? Can it afford to lose them or are they afford to stick to party, even when it opposes Telangana creation? What about Party's political and electoral chances in Telangana?
