Hyderabad: Parliamentarians and legislators from Andhra Pradesh's Telangana
region, who have not yet submitted their resignations, are facing
the ire of groups who are pressing for a separate state.
Describing them as "traitors", the Telangana Joint Action
Committee (JAC), the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) and other
groups have stepped up pressure on MPs, ministers and legislators
who have not yet resigned.
Union Petroleum Minister S. Jaipal Reddy is under pressure from
his own party leaders to quit. Damodar Reddy, who resigned as
member of the assembly Monday, has warned Jaipal Reddy that he
would not be allowed to enter Telangana if he failed to resign.
Activists of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) laid siege at Jaipal
Reddy's residence in Jubilee Hills here. Police arrested the
protestors.
Jaipal Reddy is among the four Lok Sabha members from the region
who have not yet submitted their resignations. The remaining 13
MPs including nine of Congress have already quit.
Protestors also laid siege at the residence of Malkajgiri MP Sarve
Satyanarayana, who has refused to resign.
Congress legislator Marri Shashidhar Reddy had to face the ire of
Telangana supporters, who blocked his convoy in Balkampet area
here demanding his resignation.
There was also tension in Malkajgiri on the outskirts of Hyderabad
as protesters laid siege to the house of Congress legislator Akula
Rajender demanding that he resign.
Activists also protested before the home of TDP Rajya Sabha member
Gundu Sudha Rani in Warangal, demanding her resignation.
They took out a mock funeral of a Congress legislator Kanta Rao in
Khammam district.
The JAC, comprising students of Osmania University, have
threatened to attack the houses of those who have not resigned. It
has warned ministers from Hyderabad -- Mukesh Goud and Danam
Nagender -- against any further delay in submitting their
resignations.
The leaders also announced that they would take out a rally to the
assembly July 7 to urge the speaker to accept all resignations.
Police have intensified security at the homes of Jaipal Reddy,
Sarve Satyanarayana, another MP Anjan Kumar Yadav, Mukesh Goud,
Nagender and Marri Sashidhar Reddy, all in and around Hyderabad.
