AP-Telangana High Court bifurcation to rock Parliament

"The main issue on the first day of the Parliament session will be the bifurcation of the Andhra Pradesh High Court. We will take it up from day one," Kalvakuntla Kavitha, Nizamabad Lok Sabha member and daughter of Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, said.

The High Court of Judicature at Hyderabad is currently serving both Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.

She said Parliament members of the TRS would meet in New Delhi on July 17, a day before the commencement of the Monsoon session of the House, to decide on strategy. She also added that the party's protest on the issue would be "serious".

In addition, many lawyers from Telangana are expected to come to New Delhi on various days of the session and stage protests in the Jantar Mantar of the national capital to exert pressure on the bifurcation issue.

"We will be expressing our solidarity with them and constantly keep the pressure on so that the government will intervene and bifurcate the High Court," Kavitha said.

Meanwhile, she said the Chief Minister would invite Prime Minister Narendra Modi to inaugurate "Mission Kakatiya", a programme to rejuvenate water tanks and lakes in the state, slated next month.

On GST, Kavitha said the TRS has always been supportive of it as it believes it’s good for the country but added that her party has reservations on one or two issues.
