Seemandhra ministers and MLAs to resign

All the Seemandhra Ministers have decided to quit their posts immediately. A unanimous decision was taken by the ministers in the meeting held at Ministers’ quarters at Hyderabad. Later, speaking to media minister TG Venkatesh said “We have unanimously decide to submit our resignation letters protesting division of the state. We are going to submit our resignations in speaker format today itself. We here by appeal our high command to reconsider the decision. After submitting our resignation letters, we will return our constituencies and join the agitations organized by JACs. All the MLAs and MLCs are also going to resign.”

When, Digvijay Singh has made it clear that there is no possibility of reconsideration and no question of taking back step on the decision, Seemandhra leaders resignations will lead to constitutional crisis, that obliges the Center to impose President Rule on the state. Probably, this is what the Seemandhra leaders are planning with their resignations and certainly not reconsideration of decision as they too very well know that it is impossible at this point. If, President Rule is imposed on the state, they might be thinking that it will give them bargaining power to justify their demands on several issues like sharing revenue, waters, employment etc.
