Don't drag the T-issue in the name of consensus: Kodandaram

``In the name  of  consensus  and committee  don’t  prolong the Telanangana issue  further and make every  effort to find a lasting solution  to the  Telangana issue , said  Prof  Kodandaram,  convener of the Telangana political Joint Action Committee here on Saturday.

Commenting on Prime Minister Manmohan  Singh‘s statement  that  a  consensus   is  must  for the bifurcation of the state, Kodandaram  said,  `` it is  unfortunate  that  Manmohan  made  such a statement. He recalled Aritcle -3  of the Constitution  according to which the Centre has the right  to carve  out  separate  state even without  any consensus.

He once again stressed  the need to evaluate the answer sheets of intermediate students in their  respective regions.

 Of late, the convener of JAC,  Kodandaram seems to be  keeping aloof  from Telangana Rashtra  Samiti.  In the last  couple of day he  virtually  kept himself away from  the meetings or  functions convened  by the TRS  leaders.

According to the close TRS  circles ,  Kodandaram  had differences  with TRS  leaders regarding the  choice of candidates  for the ensuing  Assembly by-elections. Just a couple  of days  back, the  convener along  with the Osmania University students met the TRS leaders in this regard. However, the TRS leaders including KCR  turned down Kodandaram's request.

The professor requested the TRS leaders to boycott the Srikrishna panel but his  request has been  set aside  and K Chandrasekhar Rao made a U turn on this. The  TRS is now cooperating with the Sri Krishna panel.
