Hyderabad: A delegation led by Andhra Pradesh Communist Party of India (CPI) Serectary Dr K Narayana today sumbitted a memorandum to President Pranab Mukherjee and requesting him to find out a scientific solution to the needs of all the regions in Andhra Pradesh.
In the memorandum, Dr Narayana stated that the Andhra Pradesh State Reorganization Bill -2013 is set for discussion in the Andhra Pradesh Assembly.
‘Instead of smooth discussion, unhealthy trends are prevailing, untoward incidents are taking place which are humiliating the supreme constitution of the Nation’.
‘The Congress, TDP and YSRCP often declare that they honor Parliamentary democracy but practically they have become a hurdle for the smooth functioning of State Assembly.
‘Differences of opinions are quite natural in a democracy. Those opinions can be explained in appropriate democratic manner in legislative bodies and also outside as well’.
‘The Bill be discussed and returned with necessary amendments within the stipulated period’.
‘Some have protested against the very introduction of the Bill. Some are obstructing to the discussions though Bill is being introduced technically. This is most undemocratic. They are insulting the constitution and parliamentary democracy to which every one in the country is bound to respect, Dr Narayana said.
Regional Development Councils can be constituted for upliftment of the backward regions –Rayalaseema, Uttaraandhra. Special Funds should be allotted to backward districts like Mahaboobnagar, Anantapur, Nalgonda, Adilabad, Srikakulam, Vizianagaram and Prakasam.
