The Bharatiya Janata Party on Wednesday accused the UPA government of “diverting” the Telangana issue, and demanded that the “promise” made to the people be fulfilled. Ahead of the winter session of Parliament beginning on Thursday, the BJP said it would push for “Telangana that was promised.”
“The Congress has diverted the issue by including two districts; they are absolutely not serious about the issue,” said BJP spokesman Prakash Javadekar.
Senior leader Ravi Shankar Prasad said the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance wanted the government to bring the Telangana Bill in its “original form.”
“This [adding two more districts] is a deliberate design to delay the Telangana issue, and we feel the Congress is pandering to the rank communal forces in the State,” he said.
