Telangana Bill will be passed in Parliament: Gandra

Government Chief Whip Gandra Venkataramana Reddy has claimed that the Congress High Command was ready with the strategy to ensure passing of Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Bill 2013 in the Parliament.

Speaking to media persons here on Monday, Gandra condemned the efforts being made by Seemandhra leaders to stop the formation of Telangana. However, he said that the Telangana Bill would face no obstacles in Delhi and it would be passed without any hurdles. He also condemned Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy for serving the notice seeking rejection of Telangana Bill in the Legislative Assembly. He demanded that the Chief Minister withdraw the notice immediately.

Gandra also accused TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu of making efforts to stop the Telangana Bill. He said both the Chief Minister and Naidu were working on the same agenda of stopping State's bifurcation although their tones and styles are different.
