Seemandhra leaders not obstructing T-formation

Congress MP Kavuri Sambasiva Rao on Monday denied the allegations that Seemandhra leaders were obstructing the formation of Telangana formation.

Talking to reporters here, Sambasiva Rao said that the leaders from Andhra and Rayalaseema region were just expressing their opinion that they were against the bifurcation of the State. He said that the Seemandhra leaders believe that Andhra Pradesh would develop if it remains united. The division of the State would also divide its resources and opportunities, he said.

Stating that the Seemandhra leaders have a right to express their views on the issue, Sambasiva Rao said that the final decision on Telangana would be taken by the Centre. He said there were many demands for smaller States and the Centre would take a decision by taking all factors into consideration. He reiterated that the Seemandhra leaders were not obstructing or causing hurdles in the formation of Telangana State.
