With Prime Minister Narendra Modi complimenting Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao in the lok Sabha on Friday for showing maturity in resolving bifurcation-related issues with Andhra Pradesh, the Chief Minister has stepped up efforts to resolve the contentious division of the High Court between Telangana State and Andhra Pradesh.
On Sunday Rao made a sudden visit to the residence of High Court Chief Justice THB Radhakrishnan to discuss the issue. He followed this up with a meeting with Governor ESl Narasimhan at Raj Bhavan.
Though the CM’s Office described his visit as a “courtesy call”, sources revealed that the CM is learnt to have promised all support from the State Government for the smooth bifurcation of the High Court at the earliest.
Rao also requested Governor Narasimhan to pursue the issue seriously with AP CM N Chandrababu Naidu and the Centre. He brought to the Governor’s notice the hardships faced by TS advocates due to the delay in the bifurcation of the High Court.
Telangana Rashtra Samiti MPs also raised this issue in the lok Sabha on Friday during the debate on the no-trust motion.
TRS deputy floor leader BVinod Kumar accused the AP Government of deliberately blocking the division of the High Court.
