Dattatreyya reiterates BJP's support

BJP National Vice-President Bandaru Dattatreyya on Sunday reiterated that his party would support the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Bill in the Parliament.
Addressing a press conference here, Dattatreyya said that there was no change in the stand of BJP on Telangana issue and it would support the Bill in the Parliament. However, he accused the Congress party of creating obstacles in the formation of Telangana Bill. He alleged that the Congress party was responsible for the unruly incidents in the Lok Sabha on Thursday. He said that violent behaviour of the Congress MPs was aimed at obstructing the introduction and clearance of Telangana Bill in both the Houses of Parliament.

Dattatreyya said that the pepper spraying act by Vijayawada MP Lagadapati Rajagopal brought disgrace to the world’s largest democracy. He also condemned the other MPs who were defending the actions of Lagadapati and other MPs.

The BJP leader also questioned the continuance of Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy on his post. He asked as to why the Congress party did not dismiss Kiran Kumar Reddy despite his involvement in anti-Telangana activities.
