Member of Parliament Lok Sabha and President All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen Party Asaduddin Owaisi taking a jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Bihar Chief Minister Nitesh Kumar’s deal, asked the reason for the centre not reconciling the dispute of Telangana Bhavan when it could settle the Bihar Bhavan issue.
Indian Express reported that the Central Government handed over the Bihar Niwas to Bihar Government days before Chief Minister Nitesh Kumar pledged support to NDA Presidential Candidate Ram Nath Kovind. As per the report, Union Home Ministry persuaded the Jharkhand government to accept the compensation and give up on the Bihar Niwas, in Chanakyapuri area of New Delhi. As per the Bihar Reorganisation Act, 2000, one third of Bihar assets have to be transferred to Jharkhand.
It may be recalled that Andhra Pradesh and Telangana have been fighting over the distribution of assets. It may be noted that there were wrangles over the Andhra Pradesh Bhavan Complex on Ashoka Road in New Delhi which has both Telangana and Andhra Bhavan and offices of both the governments.The attitude of central government to resolve the asset distribution concerns of the Telugu states has been ineffectual.
Terming it “Pork Barell politics” between BJP and JDU, Asaduddin took to twitter seeking the reason for not securing Telangana Bhavan. It may be noted that Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao despite not being an ally of NDA, extended support to Ram Nath Kovind.
Pork Barell politics by Modi & Nitish,but why has Telangana Bhavan not being given to @TelanganaCMO @MinIT_Telangana.
JDu wants a" DEAL"…. https://t.co/VoFItIiv8s— Asaduddin Owaisi (@asadowaisi) June 29, 2017
