Committee won’t deliver: BJP

Bandaru Dattatreya

HYDERABAD: State Bharatiya Janata Party president Bandaru Dattatreya asserted here on Sunday that the Srikrishna Committee would not be able to deliver Telangana and that introduction of the Bill in Parliament on the Statehood issue would be the only solution to the ‘political problem’.

At a press conference, he called upon Justice B.N. Srikrishna to go to villages for securing people’s opinion and not to take decisions sitting in the State capital, referring to the latter’s forthcoming visit here on March 4.

He said the party would not support the Telangana Joint Action Committee’s call for the boycott of the Andhra/ Rayalassema products. “We are demanding division of the State, but won’t support such boycott calls,” he said.

Responding to a poser from State Communist Partty of India secretary K. Narayana as to why BJP legislator G. Kishan Reddy was not resigning, he clarified that the MLA was ready to quit as part of the party’s agitation demanding Telangana.

However, he maintained that the Left parties had no right to comment on such issues and criticised the Congress legislators’ decision to go back on resignations.

The outgoing State BJP president announced that the party’s State Council would meet on March 6 at Pearl Garden, Secunderabad, to elect his successor. He condoled the death of senior BJP leader Nanaji Deshmukh.
