WHAT?! NO Telangana in 2013. How about 2014?! Bill for creation of T State to be introduced in Parliament NOT before Feb, 2014. Notwithstanding the confidence being exuded by Telangana Ministers that the Congress high command will not roll back its decision on Telangana, Given intense agitation in Seemandhra against bifurcation and apprehensions over job security, employment opportunities and resource sharing, the preparation of Cabinet Note is expected to take its own time with provisions and safeguards to assuage the emotions of people in Coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema while inspiring confidence, Sr Minister. Firstly, Antony Committee which has been giving a patient hearing to people’s representatives, employees and various organisations and going through their written representations with a mandate to do justice to people in all regions has to submit its report. Then the govt committee announced by UPA Chairperson Sonia in response to the reservations expressed over credibility of party committee would also look into concerns of Seemandhra people, particularly on sharing Hyderabad as common capital only for 10 yrs. When UPA gov has pressing agenda like Food Security Bill, other issues, it will certainly buy time to prepare draft Bill on Telangana. No one will take exception to delay as Sonia made it abundantly clear that decision on Telangana will not be reversed, said another Minister. Though UT status to Hyderabad was ruled out by Ministers from Telangana as totally unacceptable, they feel that stalemate over the issue can be resolved by bringing law and order in Hyderabad under purview of the Centre to inspire confidence in Seemandhra people & giving a package to the Seemandhra region. The Rayala-Telangana proposal, though not to liking of UPA representatives in Telangana, is something they may have to accept as a trade off to UT status to Hyderabad, a Minister said.
