Telangana bill : Likely to be introduced today in Rajya Sabha - NewsX

The controversial bill that creates a new state of Telangana by bifurcating Andhra Pradesh will be introduced in the Rajya Sabha on Monday.The Union Cabinet cleared the Bill on Friday. To propitiate Chief Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy and other party leaders who are vehemently opposed to the division of the state, the Congress has agreed to some of their demands. However, despite their lobbying, the booming IT hub of Hyderabad will not be designated a union territory. It will be a shared capital for the next 10 years between the old and new state but its revenue is unlikely to be divided, said sources.The Congress-led central government is determined to push the legislation through before this session of Parliament - the last before the national election - ends on February 21. The party's central leadership believes that the move will be a vote-getter in Telangana.For More information on this news visit : http://www.newsx.com/Connect with us on Social platform at : http://www.facebook.com/newsxonlineSubscribe to our YouTube Channel : http://www.youtube.com/newsxlive
