Daijiworld Media Network - Bangalore (SB)


Bangalore, Aug 8: Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa on Saturday August 7 said that the state government would pressurise the centre to amend the Article 371 to accord special status to the Hyderabad-Karnataka region. “Though I have written to the prime minster several times and the centre has not responded positively,” he alleged.

He was addressing the gathering during the inauguration of Hyderbad-Karnataka Residents' Welfare Association in Bangalore. He said that the state had been demanding constitutional amendment to ensure employment opportunities and special grants for region on the lines of Telangana. The centre has not shown any concern for the long-pending demand of the people, he said.

Yeddy said the move was in the wake of his government considering the development of backward areas as important as per the recommendations of Dr D M Nanjundappa’s report on regional imbalance.
