Section 8 linked to AP's development, self respect: Minister

Andhra Pradesh Tribal Welfare Minister Ravela Kishore Babu said here today that inplementing Section 8 of the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act is linked to self respect of the Andhra people and development of the state.
Speaking at a round table meeting organised on Section 8, he said that there is no security to properties belonging to Andhra people in Hyderabad.
"Our buildings are being bulldozed. Until we build a new capital, governance would be from the joint capital where we feel insecure due to activities of the Telangana Chief Minister and his government. We need to work in a peaceful atmosphere to develop AP, for which implementing Section 8 is the only solution," he said.

"We lack freedom in the joint capital and we need assurance of our well being and security in Hyderabad. Implementing Section 8 is also linked to the self respect of the Andhra people. All these issues are interlinked," he said.
The minister, also criticised the language used by Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao.
"He (Rao) has been behaving worse than Hitler. Is he a CM or a street rowdy? Right from EAMCET, scholarships, water sharing, irrigation projects or sharing secretariat buildings, he has been creating problems for AP in Hyderabad," he said.
