Surekha, Satyavathi resign afresh for Telangana

Expressing solidarity to Telangana employees' general strike, Parkala legislator Konda Surekha and Bhadrachalam MLA Kunja Satyavathi on Tuesday resigned afresh from their post for the cause of Telangana.

Surekha and Satyavathi submitted their resignation letters to Assembly Secretary Raja Sadaram due to the absence of the Speaker and Deputy Speaker at their office in the legislative assembly. Later, talking to media persons, Konda Surekha, who shifted her loyalties to YSR Congress party, said that she submitted her resignation for the cause of Telangana state.

Claiming that Jagan Mohan Reddy was not against the formation of Telangana State, she said her association with the YSR Congress party should not be linked with her commitment towards Telangana agitation. Expressing regret over stoning of YSR’s statue in Warangal district, she appealed to Telangana people to learn the real reasons for the delay in the formation of Telangana state. She said it was wrong to blame a leader who passed away two years ago.

Konda Surekha said that instead of blaming YSR, present Congress government at the State and Centre must be questioned for the delay in granting statehood for Telangana region.

Taking serious objection on Telangana Rashtra SamitHi president K Chandrasekhar Rao’s style of functioning and TPJAC, she said that the Telangana could be achieved by seeking cooperation of all party leaders and by making concrete and united efforts only. Stating that Telangana can be achieved only by creating constitutional crisis, she asked the Congress and TDP Telanagana Forum members to resign to their posts. Responding to her re-contesting from the seat in the event of by-elections, Surekha said that she would announce her decision at an appropriate time.

K Satyavathi said that if YSR was an obstacle then the Telangana leaders should explain as to why the state was not formed although the former chief minister died two years ago.

Earlier, Surekha and Satyavathi went to Telangana Martyrs memorial at Gun Park to pay tributes to those who sacrificed their lives for the cause of statehood.
