If the TRS is really keen on section 8 not being implemented in Hyderabad, then it should first keep its own band of men in control.
TRS Rajya Sabha MP Keshava Rao speaking on the issue of section 8 said, “According to section 8, Governor will have responsibilities and not powers.” That is a pretty absurd statement because one cannot have responsibility without authority.
Next in line is Kodandaram who says, “We accepted Section 8 as there was no other option at that time (he meant the passage of Telangana Bill).” This again is another dangerous statement.
What Kodandaram is implying is that they accepted section 8 for fear that protesting might block the Telangana bill entirely. This smacks then of opportunism.
You can’t agree with such an important section at one time and then completely deny it on another occasion. Such kinds of statements from seniors will only jeopardize the fight of KCR to get section 8 annulled.
