Hyderabad:  A new Telangana state will come into being in two
weeks come what may, K Chandrasekhara Rao or KCR, a key
politician of the region said today as a majority in the Andhra
Pradesh assembly rejected the plan, posing a moral dilemma for
the Centre.
"By February 15, Parliament will pass the Telangana bill. I have
reliable information that Delhi is determined," the leader of the
Telangana Rashtra Samithi said.
KCR criticised state Chief Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy for crafting
a move to "sabotage" Telangana by pushing a resolution rejecting
the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Bill, which was passed by a
voice vote. The resolution slammed the bill for not giving credible
reasons for dividing the state.
"If we go by majority, Telangana will never be formed," the 59-
year-old politician told NDTV, commenting that it was Kiran
Reddy, not the bill, that was "defective."
Over 9,000 amendments were proposed in the draft bill, in the
state assembly.
KCR, who fronted the campaign that led to the government
announcing the creation of Telangana, saw today's developments
as one more step towards the fruition of his Telangana dream.
The Andhra Pradesh assembly's rejection is largely symbolic; it was
asked to give its views and its vote won't matter. But it poses an
ethical question for the Congress, which hopes to pass the bill in
the Parliament session beginning on February 5, the last before the
national election, due by May. (Andhra Pradesh assembly rejects

The party has opened negotiations with the BJP to ensure
bipartisan support, amid signs that the main opposition party
wants to appease a potential ally, Telugu Desam Party, by not
giving its support to the Telangana bill in this session.
The Congress hopes to reap electoral benefits from its Telangana
decision, even though its leaders in the Seemandha region,
including the Chief Minister, are dead opposed to it. If it fails to
get the bill passed, the party stands to lose in both the Telangana
and Seemandhra regions.
"There is no morality involved in the formation of a state, only
legality," KCR asserted.
