Hyderabad: Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Damodar Rajanarasimha Thursday said with the completion of the debate on Telangana bill in the state legislature, the political drama of Chief Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy had come to an end.
Talking to reporters after both the houses of the legislature passed by voice vote official resolutions rejecting Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Bill 2013, Rajanarasimha said this would have no impact on formation of Telangana state.
The Congress leader from Telangana said with the bill being sent back to the President their goal was achieved. "The dream of people of Telangana will soon become a reality," he said.
He alleged that the chief minister acted as a leader of Seemandhra to mislead people for drawing political mileage. "There is no ball or bat. The playground itself has become empty," he said in an obvious reference to the chief minister's earlier remark that no match is over till the last ball is bowled.
