Srihari On The War Path, Another Setback To Andhra!

Srihari On The War Path, Another Setback To Andhra!

“There is absolutely no question of allotting seats in NIT Warangal to Andhra students. We fought for a separate Telangana so that our children will benefit in terms of better opportunities in quality educational institutes. If injustice is meted out to Telangana even after bifurcation, we will not take it lying down. We will go to any extent to safeguard Telangana against Andhras,” said Minister Kadiam Srihari.

As per protocol, 50% of seats in NIT Warangal were reserved for undivided Andhra Pradesh.

After bifurcation, AP had requested for its share of seats in NIT according to article 371-D of the ‘AP Reorganization Act’.

Telangana’s contention is that 371-D applies only to state-owned educational institutions and not Central owned institutions like NIT. Hence, it says that 50% seats will be reserved only for Telangana.

Kadiam has left for Delhi to talk to Smriti Irani regarding this issue. Judging by the High Court ruling saying that the current high court belongs entirely to Telangana, it seems that Telangana will emerge winner even on this issue. This is legal justice and not moral justice. Unfortunately, that’s the way things are.
