Former Chief Minister and Jai Samaikhyandhra Party president N Kiran Kumar Reddy on Saturday claimed that the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh would be stopped.
Addressing a road show at Kadiam in East Godavari district, Reddy said that the Centre had violated the set norms and procedures in passing the Andhra Pradesh State Reorganisation Bill, and the same would be struck down by the Supreme Court.
He said that several legal experts, including BJP senior leader Arun Jaitley, had opined that the bifurcation process and bill adopted by the Congress-led UPA Government would not stand in a court of law.
Therefore, he expressed confidence that the Telangana Bill would again be introduced and debated in the Andhra Pradesh State Legislative Assembly and both the Houses of Parliament.
Appealing to the people to vote for his party, Reddy said that his party would play a crucial role in stopping the division of the State.
He said that he was not willing to accept the division till the Supreme Court delivered its final judgment on the issue.
Reddy slammed all the political parties including the Congress, the YSRCP and the TDP-BJP combine for their role in the State's bifurcation.
He said that several leaders including MPs had tried their best to stop the bifurcation process, which was carried out in an unconstitutional manner. (INN)
