Kiran Kumar Reddy has submitted his resignation to the Governor E.S.L Narasimhan on 19th February in protest against central government decision to "divide the Telugus for sake of votes and seats".The Chief Minister appeared determined over his decision to quit from the post and the party when he said was not going to continue in the post any more even if the Congress leadership asks him to do so. His family’s association with the Congress since 1962.
Flanked by eight Cabinet colleagues and over a dozen MLAs/MLCs, the Chief Minister alleged that the Congress leadership in collusion with the main Opposition BJP had ensured passage of the bifurcation Bill in Lok Sabha setting aside all the democratic conventions and practices.
Mr. Kiran Reddy said he was not against the aspirations of the people of Telangana. But he was opposed to the decision to divide the State as it was not in the interests of the two regions.
