LIVE! Telangana Bill unlikely to be tabled in winter session of Parliament

October 21, 2013 17:30

The Telangana Bill is unlikely to be tabled in the Winter Session of Parliament for seven reasons, according to highly placed UPA sources. The decision was taken by the Group of Ministers (GoM) constituted to draft the bill, since they believe it will take at least two more months.

Two Union Ministers of the GoM are of the view that the draft bill should be uploaded on the net to seek public opinion and 30 days should be given for some clarity to emerge from the public discussion on the Bill.

The GoM need to discuss the Telangana draft Bill in three or four sittings.
Detailed report on Rediff.com shortly.
