Jagan targets Sonia Gandhi over Telangana tangle

YSR Congress chief Jagan Mohan Reddy launched a fierce attack on Congress President Sonia Gandhi over the Telengana issue.

Sitting on a dharna in Delhi’s Jantar Mantar against the government’s decision of bifurcating Andhra Pradesh to create a separate state of Telenaga, Jagan Mohan on Monday slammed UPA government and Ms Sonia Gandhi for creating mess in the state.
Monday accused Sonia Gandhi of dividing the state for political gains.

Jagan accused government of prioritizing votebank politics in aiming to get 17 seats from Telengana by aligning with TRS in that region.

“Even Britishers did not do what she (Sonia Gandhi) did to my state of Andhra Pradesh,” Jagan said.

“Congress has engineered the chaos. They have plotted it … Knowing very well that their fortunes are down to practically zero, these people have ignited passions. Months before elections they have broken my state,” he charged.

Protesting against the suspension of the Seemandhra MPs Jagan said the decision was “undemocratic” and said, “The ruling party wanted to push through the bill to create Telangana without any debate.”

Jagan also said he is ready to support even BJP if they support United Andhra Pradesh.

Meanwhile Parliament affairs minister Kamal Nath has said that the debate on Telengana Bill will be placed on Lok Sabha on Tuesday and those who have objection against the creation of Telengana can participate and lend  their voice.
