New Delhi, November 01: Telangana Nagara Samithi chairman Nagam Janardhan Reddy on Tuesday alleged that the Congress party hatched a conspiracy to make Telangana leaders as scapegoats by not accepting their resignations submitted for the cause of the Telangana statehood agitation.
Talking to media persons, Nagam slammed Speaker Nadendla Manohar’s attitude for not accepting resignations of elected representatives. After understanding the aspirations of people in the region, he said that the elected representatives submitted their resignations.
Stating that the Speaker’s decision would amount to violation of the Constitution, he said the decision was against the established democratic norms. He demanded Speaker to accept resignations immediately and uphold the constitutional norms.
Nagam also ridiculed Union Home Minister P Chidambaram’s recent statement on Telangana and alleged that the Centre was trying to buy more time.
The former TDP leader reiterated that he would never join the TDP, which followed ambivalent attitude on Telangana. He said that TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu was indirectly saving the Kiran Kumar Reddy Government by extending secret support.
Nagam extended support to Freedom fighter Konda Lakshman Bapuji’s week-long Satyagraha in New Delhi for the cause of statehood.
