Dharna by all-party Telangana MLAs

HYDERABAD: Cutting across party lines, Telangana MLAs from different political parties staged a ‘dharna’ in front of Mahatma Gandhi statue in the Assembly premises on Tuesday demanding that a meeting of the House Committee on GO 610 be convened immediately.

T. Devender Goud of Telugu Desam, Chada Venkat Reddy of CPI, J. Ranga Reddy of CPI (M) and T. Harish Rao of TRS, all members of the House Committee expressed surprise at the way the meeting of the panel was being put off on one pretext or the other. After meeting among themselves, they marched out holding placards and shouting slogans in support of their demand.

Mr. Goud alleged that the Government was planning to a give decent burial to the GO going by its shifting stand and delaying tactics. It had no sincerity in implementing the GO and was playing people of one region with those from others.There was no alternative for the members of the House Committee but to protest as the Government was not taking any interest, Mr. Venkat Reddy said.

Mr. Harish Rao said the Government has created confusion. Chief Minister Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy says GO would be implemented.
