Telangana issue diff from UPA Cong resolution on small states:BJP

Hyderabad, May 23 : Senior BJP leader and former Union Minister Ch Vidyasagar Rao said the latest demand for division of UP through second States Reorganisation Commission (SRC) had nothing to do with creation of a separate Telangana state.

Addressing at a press conference here, he took serious exception to some ministers advocating setting up of second SRC for bifurcation of the state after the UP Congress committee passed a resolution to constitute a second SRC for division of the country's largest state.AICC General Secretary, Rahul Gandhi's support to UP Congress resolution for the constitution of second SRC revealed that the Congress-led UPA government was committed for creating of smaller states, he said.In this backdrop, formation of separate Telangana state was inevitable and could not be linked to Second SRC, he added.Stating that the agitation for Telangana had reached its peak and the sentiment was very strong among the people of the region, the former Union Minister appealed to all political parties to set aside party and agendas, and move forward with the sole agenda of bifurcation of the state.The BJP will hold a mammoth public meeting in Karimnagar on May 31 on Telangana issue, he said and appealed to leaders of all political parties to attend the rally and declare their resolve for a separate Telangana state.
