Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath on Monday expressed his solidarity and that of the congress party and the state of Madhya Pradesh with the Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandra Babu Naidu and the people of the state.
Speaking at the ‘Dharma Porata Deeksha’- struggle for justice’, a day dharna organised by Andhra Pradesh chief minister at Andhra Pradesh Bhawan here against the Central Government for not fulfilling the promise of special category status for Andhra Pradesh as envisaged in Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act 2014, Mr Kamal Nath, recollecting the proceedings of the Parliament as Parliamentary Affairs Minister, said that he was not only the witness to the debates but also in the commitments made in the Parliament for special status of Andhra Pradesh.
‘’Non fulfillment of the commitments made in the Parliament is injustice to the people of Andhra Pradesh. There is no doubt in it but only natural that the Central Government wants a strong man like Chandrababu Naidu to play their game.
But Mr. Naidu is a man of principles. He has raised his voice even against Congress party on his principles and now he is raising voice against the Central Government,’’ he added.
Attacking the NDA Government, Mr. Kamal Nath said,’’today the country is a divided lot. Not only the important institutions like RBI, CBI, Judiciary are divided even the society is divided today. This politics of division is today opposed by all of us and we will fight till the end and expose the government which has betrayed the people of the country.
The Government has betrayed the youth, farmers and States.’’
He expressed confidence that this Government will be thrown out of power in the next three months.
Praising the people of Andhra Pradesh, Mr. Kamal Nath said that they will always side with the truth and Congress party is always with the truth since independence and before independence always sided with the truth.
Addressing the gathering, former Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh Digvijay Singh expressed the commitment of the Congress party for the special status for Andhra Pradesh.
He said that former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had made a commitment on the floor of the house to granting special status to the state of Andhra Pradesh.
‘’But now the Central Government, due to political reasons, are not honoring the commitments,’’he said.
