Modi blames Congress for not dividing states peacefully!

The ruling outfit in Telangana, Telangana Rashtra Samithi(TRS) has been locking horns with the saffron party Bharatiya Janata Party(BJP) alleging that the Centre is not giving importance to the state for the projects and funds. The TRS leaders are not leaving any stone unturned to target the Union government on the same.

Amid the attack by the TRS, Prime Minister Narendra Modi while addressing the Parliament said that, they are not against Telangana, but they are not happy with the way the states were bifurcated.

Accusing the then central government Congress of bifurcating Telangana in an undemocratic manner, Narendra Modi said that the Congress party should be held responsible for the disputes between Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.

Not stopping there, Narendra Modi also accused the grand-old Congress of being arrogant while bifurcating Andhra Pradesh which gave power to the party, the Prime Minister of India came down severely on the Congress party.

Launching an attack on the Congress party, Narendra Modi said, the way the bifurcation was done made the congress party lose in both states. Highlighting how the state was divided, Narendra Modi said that the bifurcation was done without any discussion as the micks of the members were cut in the Parliament.

He made these comments to say how the Congress party had divided the states in a wrong way that had led to the disputes between the states. He went on to say that, if the states were divided in the right manner, then there would have not been any issues.

Congress had divided Telangana from Andhra Pradesh. People from both states have not voted for the party. The same happened with Jharkhand. But the BJP had not made the mistakes, he maintained.

Giving details on how three states were formed during the regime of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Narendra Modi said this is how the states should be formed peacefully without causing any disputes between the states.

Atal Bihari Vajpayee was credited for forming three new states that too in a peaceful atmosphere. When he was the Prime Minister, three states were formed in a single year. In 2000, Chhattisgarh, Uttarakhand, and Jharkhand were formed.
