On
The Polit
Bureau of the Communist Party of
AFTER long
procrastination and more than two years after the report
submitted by the
Srikrishna Committee, the Congress leadership and the UPA
government have
decided on the division of Andhra Pradesh and the formation of
Telangana state.
This decision seems to have been impelled by the forthcoming
Lok Sabha
elections. It will give a fillip to demands for separate
states in other
places.
The CP(M) has
always stood for the integrity of the states based on the
democratic principle
of linguistic states.
The issue of
the formation of Telangana will now have to be decided by
parliament.
The Polit
Bureau appeals to the people of all regions of the state to
maintain peace and
harmony while the matter is ultimately decided by parliament.
