Observe AP Formation Day as Integration Day: YSRCP

YSR Congress party on Tuesday called upon the people to observe AP Formation Day on Nov 1 as Integration Day to protest against the decision of the UPA Government to rush through the process of bifurcation disregarding the opinions of majority people.

Announcing the protest programme at a press meet here, YSRCP senior leader and political affairs committee member Dr MV Mysura Reddy asked people to adopt resolutions in favour of Samaikya Andhra at Grama Sabha (village meetings) on the state formation day and send them to PM Manhoman Singh through emails.

“On the same day, similar to Ravana Samharam, people should burn the effigies of those responsible for the division of the state, besides forming human chains in urban areas. I appeal to women to participate in large numbers in the event,” Mysura asked people.

He said the GoM on bifurcation is meeting on Nov 7 to consider the reports submitted by officials to go ahead with the process of division by giving up the traditions and practices to be adopted at times of bifurcation.

As a protest against the GoM meeting, people should resort to road blockade for 48 hours on Nov 6 and 7. “All people who are interested in keeping the state and the country united should participate in the protest programme and express their anger at the undemocratic decision of the Congress and the Centre,” Mysura said.

“The division process should begin with the consent of the assembly as per the tradition and the announcement made by Union Minister Chidambaram on Dec 9, 2009. But the bifurcation process is being done in the most autocratic manner,” he observed.

Mysura Reddy charged CM Kiran Kumar Reddy with acting at the behest of Sonia Gandhi on the issue. “He is only hoodwinking the people by posing as an integrationist.”
