CPI (M) ON ANDHRA PRADESH SITUATION

HAVING MET AT KOLKATA FROM FEBRUARY 4 TO 6, 2010, THE CENTRAL COMMITTEE OF THE CPI (M) ISSUED THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT ON FEBRUARY 6.

The Central Committee discussed the situation which has developed in Andhra Pradesh with the agitation for a separate Telengana state and the counter-agitation for a united state. It is unfortunate that the Central Government and the Congress leadership took the shortsighted step of announcing the process of the creation of a separate state on December 9. It is now for the central government to ensure that the stalemate is ended and the solution found by taking into account the views of all political parties and sections of the people. This process is to begin with the setting up of the committee headed by retired Justice B N Sri Krishna.

The initial stand taken by the central government on Telengana gave a fillip to demands for separate states in various other states. The Central Committee reiterated its stand that the states which were linguistically reorganised as part of the democratic restructuring of the state structure should not be disturbed.

The Central Committee appealed to all sections of the people of Andhra Pradesh to maintain peace and harmony. There are forces trying to provoke further divisions among the people which is harmful to the overall interests of the people.
