Resolve Section 8 issues, Telugu Desam told

Hyderabad: The YSR Congress wants the Telugu Desam to spell out its apprehensions on Section 8 of the State Reorganisation Act, 2014 and get them clarified in the presence of President Pranab Mukherjee and Governor E.S.L. Narasimhan. Senior YSRC leader and former minister Botsa Satyanarayana asked AP CM N. Chandrababu Naidu to make the best use of the time as the President is in the city. 

 

Mr Satyanarayana said, “Our stand on Section 8 has been clear that it should be implemented along with all other provisions of the State Reorganistaion Act. But Mr Naidu and his Cabinet colleagues had cast aspersions on the institution of Governor. Since the President is the appointing authority of Governors, it would be wise to clear the air on the subject.”

 

Meanwhile, senior Congress leader and former minister Dokka Manikya Vara Prasada Rao is in talks with YSRC leaders to join the party. “Mr Manikya Prasada Rao is joining the party soon,” said a source.
