Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Damodara Raja Narasimha today asked chief minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy to abide by the Congress high command's decision on creation of Telangana and ensure equal treatment to all regions of the state.
"The process of formation of Telangana is almost complete as AP Reorganisation Bill, 2013 will get passed in upcoming Parliament session," the deputy chief minister said here at a function.
Appealing to Congress leaders from Seemandhra region, who have upped their ante for unified Andhra Pradesh under Kiran Kumar, to not "mislead" people, Raja Narasimha said the chief minister should abide by the decision of the CWC.
"State unit president B Satyanarayana was also present at the Congress Core Committee's meeting when the decision was taken and he also agreed to abide. I appeal to Kiran Kumar to comply with the party's decision and concentrate on the development of Seemandhra," the deputy CM said.
He said as the head of the state government, Kiran Kumar should ensure that no region in the state was discriminated against.
In a symbolic victory for Kiran Kumar and opponents of separate Telangana, the state legislature on Thursday passed by voice vote a resolution moved by the chief minister to reject AP Reorganisation Bill, 2013.
The Bill will be tabled in the Parliament session beginning February 5.
