The CPI today asked the government to take an immediate decision on Telangana statehood demand, saying any further consultations on the issue would be “an exercise in futility” as all parties have already given their views.
With the agitation in the region of Andhra Pradesh entering the 24th day and the administration being “totally paralysed”, CPI General Secretary A B Bardhan said “the people have spoken” on the issue.
In a letter to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, he said the political parties have also made their stand clear on the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh and creation of a separate state of Telangana.
“A decision on the separate state of Telangana together with the time-plate for its urgent and early realisation” be taken forthwith, Bardhan said, adding that any “further consultation is an exercise in futility”. “You are no doubt aware that the CPI has long back declared its support for Telangana together with all safeguards for the residual state. All parties are now demanding that the Government must take a firm and final decision on the matter without further delay,” he said.
