Hyderabad, Jan 15: Fissures appear to be surfacing in the YSR Congress already. Party MLA Gurunatha Reddy said on Tuesday that he personally opposed bifurcation of the State, opposing the stand taken by the party in the letter it gave to the Union Home Minister in the recent all-party meeting at Delhi. Gurunatha Reddy also said that if the State were to be divided under unavoidable circumstances, then Rayalaseema State also should be formed. He said he was ready to lay down his life, to prevent bifurcation of the State. He said party's opinion on Telangana was different from his own personal view. He also said that he would attend the Samaikyandhra meeting being organized by Minister Ganta Srinivasa Rao, if invited. He said that it was due to the selfishness of some leaders that the Telangana issue came to the fore and expressed anger that some were talking as if the government had already conceded the separate State. Referring to the view of some that all should abide by the decision of the Centre, he said the Centre should ascertain the views of majority of people. He has asserted that people of Rayalaseema were for the State being kept united. He said it was not easy to divide the State. He has urged the Centre to take a decision that was acceptable to all and added that he would not accept division personally. Meanwhile, another senior leader KK Mahender Reddy strongly opposed the statement of Gurunatha Reddy. He said if any one entertained any personal view, it should be expressed only in the party fora. He said it was improper for members of the party to have personal views as against the party's stand. It is learnt that the YSR Congress leadership had also reprimanded Gurunatha Reddy for expressing his views against Telangana formation. It is learnt that the party advised all concerned not to express their personal views on sensitive matters on public platforms. They were advised to raise such issues only in party meetings. Stating that the party had already expressed its stand on the Telangana issue, the leadership told the members that it was improper for the members to take a stand different from the party's stand. | ||
