[1]

Hyderabad: TRS MLA T Harish Rao on Friday ridiculed the resignation of TDP MP Nandamuri Harikrishna in protest against the division of Andhra Pradesh.
Talking to reporters here, Harish Rao said that when Harikrishna could not live with his own brother Balakrishna, he had no right to ask Telugus to live together. Stating that Harikrishna was wrongly trying to encash upon Telugu sentiments using his father NTR's name, he said that Harikrishna sided with his brother-in-law N Chandrababu Naidu who was responsible for throwing chappals on NTR. He said that instead of writing a letter to the people, Harikrishna should address a letter to Naidu asking him to clarify his stand.
Harish Rao also warned the Centre against delay in formation of Telangana State by setting up different committees. He said that the TRS would not remain a mute spectator if the Center delays the processof Telangana formation again.
Sailajanath asks Harikrishna to quit TDP
Hyderabad: State Minister S Sailajanath on Friday asked Nandamuri Harikrishna to resign from the TDP if he was really sincere towards keeping the State united.
Addressing a press conference at the Congress Legislature Party office here, Sailajanath said that Harikrishna's resignation from the Rajya Sabha membership was not sufficient to prove his commitment towards Samaikhyandhra. He said Harikrishna should quit the TDP to join the united AP movement.
Sailajanath also demanded that the TDP and YSR Congress Party should pass fresh resolutions opposing the division of Andhra Pradesh and send it Union Home Ministry. Further, both the parties should defeat the Telangana Bill in the State Assembly. He said that the decision to bifurcate Andhra Pradesh was taken by Congress Working Committee and not by the Centre. Therefore, he said that the Congress MPs and legislators were trying to reverse the decision in order to prevent the Centre from dividing the State.
Condemning the suspension of 12 Seemandhra MPs from the Lok Sabha on Friday, Sailajanath said that the MPs have kept the Telugu pride high by raising their voices in the Parliament.
Government Whip in the Council Rudraraju Padmaraju was also present.
