Centre’s hasty decision led to the present turmoil in state: Chandrababu

Hyderabad,Dec 14:The Centre has taken a hasty decision on a delicate issue like Telangana which led to the present turmoil in the  state, said  Telugu Desam party chief Nara Chandrababu Naidu here on Monday.Interacting with the media here in the wake of the latest situation in Andhra Pradesh, Chandrababu condemned the arrest of Lagadapati Rajgopal and appealed to the agitators not to get  carried away by emotions.He observed that everyone has a right to show his resentment but should not turn violent.It is due to the hasty decision of the Centre  that all the political parties in the state have been divided into two, he lamented.He admitted that his party like all other  political parties  in the state  failed  to read  the  pulse of people on the  issue  of Telangana before  taking a decision.

Now the  issue  is in the people’s court and  the centre  has to come out with  a solution  which is acceptable to the people of both the regions.Referring  to the  resignation of his  party MLAs  he said  that his MLAs  resigned owing to the pressure  from  the  locals.All my appeals to my own party MLAs to withdraw their resignations  has  fallen  on a  deaf ear  and  I am unable  to convince  them on their  resignation.At the  moment  we  are  conferring with the   senior  party  leaders  on the  present state of Andhra  before expressing  our  party’s  stand  on the issue  of bifurcation.Adjourning the  assembly is not the  right  thing  at the  moment  he  felt.
