Whether the people of Seemandhra agree or not, Congress high command is determined to go ahead with its bifurcation plans. This is confirmed during a recent visit of Seemandhra Congress leaders Sailajanath, Paladugu Venkat rao and Rudraraju Padma Raju to New Delhi. The home ministry officials have confirmed them that the T- Note is almost ready for submission to cabinet meeting to be held on September 19th.

Home ministry is awaiting legal experts’ advice over the procedural hurdles on special provisions provided in Article 371(d) to segregate recruitment of government posts on zonal basis. The ministry wants to know whether a constitutional amendment is necessary for removing this provision or not while dividing the state. Once it is clarified, home ministry will be ready to submit the T-Note to cabinet for its approval. However, Seemandhra leaders were told that home ministry is taking into consideration of the ongoing Samaikyandhra agitations.

Congress Chief Sonia Gandhi and her son Rahul gandhi are said to be insisting for bifurcation of the state and stands firm on their decision. Hence, the party and the government have no other options but to fall in line with their two commanding Chiefs.

Hence, the Seemandhra leaders have realized that bifurcation of the state is inevitable come Seemandhra shuts down completely. At the same time they also understood that they are going to pay dearly in the forthcoming elections for their party decision. Yet, they are clueless on how to react to this situation.
