Hyderabad, January 24: Opposition Leader in the Lok Sabha Sushma Swaraj today demanded that the Centre table a bill in Parliament for formation of Telangana state, alleging that Congress has betrayed the people of the region on the statehood issue.
“The government should introduce a bill for formation of separate Telangana in the next session of Parliament and the BJP would fully support it,” she told a convention of Telangana protagonists organised by the BJP here.
Slamming the government’s reported idea to appoint a committee headed by a Supreme Court judge on the issue, she said it is nothing but an attempt to put the issue on the backburner.
“All consultations and talks are over. Further consultations are not acceptable. They should table a bill in Parliament in the next session,” she said.
