Congress senior leader and MLC, D Srinivas today suggested that Sridhar Babu should continue as minister. Talking to press persons here, he said that Sridhar should not resign to his post and have to continue.
He appreciated Sridhar for daring to put in his papers against Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy for divesting him of Legislative Affairs.
Telangana process will come to an end in February first week as it was stated by the Centre, he said.
He sought to know as to why Sridhar was removed if he is efficient. Is Sridhar not helpful for holding Legislative Affairs Portfolio now, he questioned. However, Srinivas exuded confidence that the Centre will accord statehood to Telangana despite any hurdles being created by Seemandhra leaders. Let them come to terms with their demands for Seemandhra region, he said adding that they are supposed to respect the sentiments of Telangana and equal respect to the Draft bill sent by President Pranab Mukherjee.(NSS)
