Days after Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy directed officials to make arrangements to hand over all the buildings placed under the possession of Andhra Pradesh in Hyderabad, as it continued as a joint capital for a period of 10 years, BRS suspected a conspiracy behind it.
BRS leaders have been accusing that the Narendra Modi government at the center is plotting to make Hyderabad as a Union Territory on the lines of it had created two union territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, after withdrawing status of a state.
Now, former finance minister and senior BRS leader T Harish Rao joined the issue and alleged that both BJP and Congress are conspiring to make Hyderabad as the Union Territory. Participating in Warangal- Nalgonda- Khammam graduates’ MLC constituency by-poll campaign, he said that both BJP and Congress are one.
He alleged that Congress and BJP parties, which were responsible for merging seven mandals in erstwhile Khammam with AP, were now conspiring to make Hyderabad as a union Territory to serve as a combined capital of AP and Telangana for another 10 years.
The bifurcation act declared Hyderabad as a combined capital of two Telugu states and the period ceased to be over. When Revanth Reddy kept it in the agenda of the state cabinet meeting to discuss, the Election Commission objected and suggested that it may be discussed after June 4, counting of votes.
Demsanding that it should be declared Hyderabad as a solo capital of telangana from June 2, Harish Rao warned that any attempt to continue it as a joint capital for some more period will be rejected by the people of Telangana through a massive agitation.
He asserted that BRS could fight against such conspiracies and hence the graduates should strengthen the party by casting their vote for the BRS nominee. Rakesh Reddy was not only highly educated but also a service oriented person and needs to be elected, Harish Rao said
