BRS MLA and former minister Talasani Srinivas Yadav today said that his party would not accept any decision to fragment Secunderabad under the guise of delimitation.
Speaking at a gathering organised by the Lashkar Zilla Sadana Samithi in Secunderabad, the BRS MLA spoke of the need to advocate for the establishment of a Greater Secunderabad Municipal Corporation, that he might even resort to a hunger strike if necessary.
Yadav called for the creation of a Greater Secunderabad Municipal Corporation and a separate district for the twin city to Hyderabad. He also asked the government about the progress achieved over the last two years under Congress rule. He claimed that while Hyderabad flourished as a global city during the tenure of former Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao, its condition had deteriorated under the Congress administration.
He also expressed outrage over the lack of consultation with the public and elected representatives regarding the proposed increase in divisions from 150 to 300 as part of the delimitation process, and warned the government against undermining public sentiment.
The BRS MLA also announced plans to hold a peace march from the Secunderabad railway station on January 17.
"We will conduct a peace march with black flags and blockade the Secunderabad railway station and the Jubilee bus station. Following that, we will call for a bandh," he said.
He added that the party would give the full details about its next course of action after the Sankranthi festival.
