TRS Member of Parliament K. Srihari accused the Central government of adopting step-motherly attitude towards Telangana State.
Speaking to newsmen here on Saturday, he said BJP cleverly used the separate Telangana sentiment and later allied with the TDP. Since the people of Telangana patronised the TRS more and gave a verdict, the BJP and the TDP were working against the interests of people of Telangana.
Since assuming power, the Central government was taking unilateral and anti-Telangana decisions right from the Ordinance on seven tribal mandals in Bhadrachalam division, Mr. Srihari said.
Accusing Mr. Modi of working under the pressure by Mr. Venkaiah Naidu and TDP president N. Chandrababu Naidu, the TRS leaders said the Centre remained mute spectator when the AP government stalled power production depriving the Telangana of power. The Centre did not utter a word when the AP government violated the Power Purchase Agreements (PPA).
Now, the Centre decided to vest the Governor with powers in State capital and that too on important aspects such as the police recruitment, transfer and promotions and their service matters. This is strange and not happened anywhere in the countrym, Mr. Srihari said stating they protest the decision and would launch an agitation if need be.
Asking the BJP Telangana leaders to open their mouths on the issue, the TRS leaders said they would fight against the unilateral and biased decisions of the Central government. Mr Srihari lashed out at AP Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu accusing him of misleading the people in both the States.
