Even if ignoring possibilities of amending Article 371 (D), submitting T-Bill into Parliament in-time has become a big challenge for Congress party now, due to delay in GoM report submission to Cabinet. Actually GoM is expected to submit its report on or before 21st of this month, but it is postponed to 28th now. The T-Bill has to pass through several stages before it could reach Parliament.

First, Cabinet has to approve the T-Bill prepared by GoM and then it will be sent to President Pranab Mukharji for his consent and forwarding to state Assembly. He may be given at least 3-7 days’ time to forward the bill to state Assembly. Then the state Assembly will also needs at least two weeks’ time for returning the bill with its remarks either positive or negative.

Then, if the President considers the opinions expressed by state assembly to be justified, then he may send the Bill to Cabinet with his remarks asking for certain changes. In such case, further delay is inevitable. If, President prefers to ignore the views expressed by state Assembly on the Bill, he may simply forward the same to Cabinet for submitting in the Parliament.

This entire process may take not less than three-four weeks, if the Congress high command let it go in accordance with constitution procedures. Otherwise, it has to ensure the bill move with rocket speed and return to it without halting anywhere in between.

Parliament winter sessions will commence from 5th and ends on 20th December. So, it is understood that time factor is also very crucial for approving the T-bill. If, Congress fails to submit the Bill during the current sessions, it has to summon special sessions after the Bill completes all this process. But, after creating so much hype over submitting and approving the bill in winter sessions, Congress may not afford to do so, because it may send wrong signals to Telangana.

Of course, Congress has to ensure BJP supports it for amending Article 371 (D) before submitting the Bill into Parliament, otherwise it would be suicidal for it. Even if the bill doesn't requires any constitutional amendments then also the time factor turns major hurdle for its approval.

After seeing all these things, people wonder how Congress is planning overcome all these problems and get the approval of Parliament for the T-Bill. No need to say that the Congress eagerness to cash-in the 2014 elections by dividing the state is creating all these complications.
