Contentious turned issue of EAMCET today reached Raj Bhavan as AP Government approached Governor ESL Narasimhan for his intervention. The Telangana Government is also reportedly planning to move the High Court for a solution if the issue was not settled with the Governor, according to sources.
AP Human Resources Development Minister G Srinivasa Rao today called on the Governor and complained against Telangana Government for declaring conduct of separate EAMCET despite APSCHE declaring dates for EAMCET and other common tests on Monday. Rao apprised the Governor of the situation in both the States while students and their parents were being taken for a ride in this regard.
The AP minister reportedly claimed they have a right to conduct EAMCET as per AP Reorganisation Act. If Telangana Government conducts EAMCET separately, then AP students in Telangana State will have to suffer irreparable loss, Rao informed the Governor. The HRD Minister also urged the Governor to intervene and direct the Telangana Government to follow dates released by the APSCHE.
The Governor is understood to have assured the minister of an amicable solution. At this crucial juncture, the Governor, who is unhappy with the escalating row, is likely to call Telangana Education Minister G. Jagadish Reddy and TSCHE Chairman Papi Reddy, AP HRD Minister G Srinivas Rao and APSCHE Chairman Venugopal Reddy some time later to sort out the issue. Informed sources said both the governments, which are at loggerheads, are reportedly planning to move High Court for a final verdict if they failed to find a solution at Raj Bhavan. (NSS)
