Telangana Cong MPs seek action against Jagan
New Delhi/Hyderabad, Dec 15 (PTI) Regional differences
in Andhra Pradesh Congress burst out in the open Tuesday when
late state chief minister YSR's son Jaganmohan Reddy joined
Telugu Desam Party (TDP) protesters in Lok Sabha only to face
demands for disciplinary action from party MPs from Telangana.
Incensed Congress MPs from Telangana region also
demanded action party MP Vijayawada, who has resigned from the
Lower House, and launched a "fast-unto-death" in his home town
Tuesday.
The fissures in the state party came to the forefront
when Reddy, MP from Kadapa in Rayalaseema region of the south
Indian state and son of former chief minister Y S Rajasekhara
Reddy, rushed to the well in the Lower House to join TDP MPs
who were protesting against the decision to carve out a
separate state of Telangana. He borrowed a placard from
a TDP member which said "We want united AP".
Jagan was joined by some of his party colleagues from
Rayalaseema and coastal Andhra but his action incensed
Congress MPs from Telangana, who immediately met Indian
Defence Minister A K Antony and demanded disciplinary action
against him for joining the TDP protest.
"We do not not like the way Jaganmohan joined hands
with the TDP. It is indiscipline. We have conveyed to Antony,"
Sarvey Satyanarayana, Congress MP from Malkajgiri in Telangana
told reporters after the meeting. Another MP Prabhakar echoed
similar views.(More) PTI SKU
