Samaikhyandhra Fasts Are Political Stunts: Erasu

Making an indirect reference to the fast-unto-death proposed by Y S Vijayamma, he said that such protests were being held to encash on Samaikhyandhra sentiments.
Hyderabad | 17th August 2013
Law Minister Erasu Pratap Reddy on Saturday described the hunger fasts being taken up by politicians for Saimaikhyandhra as political stunts.

Talking to reporters in the Assembly premises here, Erasu said that the hunger fasts were aimed at political gains and not intended towards keeping the state united.

Making an indirect reference to the fast-unto-death proposed by YSR Congress Party's Honorary President Y S Vijayamma, he said that such protests were being held to encash on Samaikhyandhra sentiments.

Erasu said that if the division of Andhra Pradesh was inevitable, then it should be trifurcated. However, he said that he was against the division of the State and the same would be conveyed by all Seemandhra ministers and legislators during their meeting with Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy on Saturday evening.

The minister also condemned the attack on Congress MP V Hanumanatha Rao in Tirupati. Stating that peaceful protests for Samaikhyandhra were acceptable, he said that the attack on VHR's vehicle was against the Rayalaseema culture. (INN)
