Telangana state formation date should not be fixed in haste: TDP

27 Feb 2014 Evaluate

Telugu Desam Party requested the Centre not to fix the Telangana state formation date in haste and it should wait till the Supreme Court fully disposes petitions challenging the constitutional validity of the AP Reorganization Bill. Many petitions are pending in the Supreme Court against the subdivision of Andhra Pradesh. Constitutional and legal experts have already expressed the view that the Bill is unconstitutional. Yanamala Ramakrishnudu, TDP politburo member stated that the Supreme Court should first pronounce whether or not the Bill is constitutional.

The leader of Opposition in AP Legislative Council pointed out that only the Supreme Court was empowered to determine whether any law passed by Parliament is legal and constitutional. Noting that the AP Reorganisation Bill was not an ordinary one, he said that the Centre should tread carefully while sending it to the President for acceptance.

Yanamala also said that the Centre should not hurriedly fix the date for the new state to come into being. It should go ahead only after the Supreme Court delivered its decision on the petitions challenging the constitutional validity of the Bill.
