Chandrababu after going through the T-bill approved by the union cabinet sharply criticized the Congress party not addressing the issues related to Seemandhra. Speaking to media he said “Congress is rudely behaving with Telugu people by going ahead with its bifurcation process without addressing the issues related to Seemandhra region and people. The way it approves the bill reveals that it takes the people for granted. Instead of playing the role of head of the family, it takes decisions keeping in view of his political interests. It not even gives a couple of days’ time to the ministers to go through it before submitting it in the union cabinet meeting. The way it hastily it submitted the bill as table-item in the cabinet meeting clearly spells its mind.”

He said “Some ministers, who boasted of getting good packages to Seemandhra are also clueless, why there is no mention of I in the bill. It neither assures any package in lieu with Hyderabad nor addressed the issues like sharing of Hyderabad revenue, waters, power and other things between two states. Perhaps, it wants the people of both regions fight with each other forever. It also tries to create rift between Seemandhra people over constructing of new capital.”

“Shinde said that the GoM has received 18,000 emails and 8,000 letters from people of the state. I want to know whether the GoM ever bothered to go through all those letters and emails at all before coming to this conclusion? It takes this decision only after talking to KCR and Jagan Mohan Reddy and not with the political parties that represent the people of the state,” said Chandrababu. Chandrababu said “

The ministers from neighboring Tamilnadu, Karnataka and Maharashtra states, who are members of GoM and union cabinet are conspiring to divide the state for their own state interests and political interests. They, who take the Telugu people for granted, will be taught a good lesson.”
