MLC Gade Srinivasulu Naidu on Sunday condemned the demand for formation of separate Telangana State.
Participating in the discussion on State Reorganisation Bill in the State Legislative Council, Srinivasulu Naidu asked the Telangana leaders to list out the reasons that led them to demand for a separate State. He said while Hyderabad was on top of the developed districts, Ranga Reddy is on third position. He said the Krishna district is on second position in terms of development. Therefore, he said that the demand for Telangana citing lack of development in the region was wrong.
Srinivasulu Naidu also claimed that people from Seemandhra region have invested all their assets for the development of Hyderabad. He alleged that by demanding a seperate State, some Telangana leaders were conspiring to encroach upon the assets of Seemandhra people. He asked whether Telangana leaders were ready to return the investments along with interest made by Seemandhra people in Hyderabad.
However, Srinivasulu Naidu’s remarks against Nizam triggered strong protest by Congress MLC Farooq Hussain. He rushed into the well to register his protest. He was supported by other Congress MLCs including KR Amos, P Sudhakar Reddy and Yadav Reddy. The other MLCs from Seemandhra region raised slogans in favour of Srinivasulu Naidu. (INN)
