Telangana bill will be debated in RS, amended bill will go back to LS
  • 5 years ago
After the Indian Parliament's lower house passed the bill for the creation of new state, the government is all set to pass the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Bill, 2014 in Rajya Sabha on Thursday.

The upper house could not pass the bill yesterday as the government and the opposition were unable to reach any consensus over amendments in the bill.

The meeting between Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Leader of Opposition Arun Jaitley and BJP leader M Venkaiah Naidu too failed to yield any result.

Even as YS Chowdhary and CM Ramesh of the Telugu Desam Party and KVP Ramachandra Rao of the Congress stood near the chairman's podium with posters demanding "united Andhra Pradesh" and "Save Andhra Pradesh", the house passed four bills in a row, after an agreement among parties.

Ugly scenes were witnessed when Ramesh tried to snatch some papers from Secretary General Shumsher H Sheriff. He apologised for his behaviour later.

While the bill for Telangana was expected next, the house was suddenly adjourned for half an hour around 4.30 pm.
