Nagender to participate in AP Formation Day celebrations

Labour Minister Danam Nagender on Wednesday announced that he would participate in the official celebrations of Andhra Pradesh Formation Day. 

Talking to reporters here, Danam, who represents Khairtabad constituency in the Assembly, ridiculed the boycott call given by pro-Telangana group. Accusing Telangana Rashtra Samithi president K Chandrasekhar Rao of having dual-standards, he asked as to why KCR did not think of Telangana when he himself participated in the State Formation celebrations as a minister in the past. He said immature reactions by the pro-Telangana groups were complicating the Telangana issue making it difficult for the Centre to take an early decision on the same. 

Appealing all the ministers from the region to participate in the official celebrations, Nagender claimed that Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi was making efforts to resolve the issue at the earliest. He said that the Telangana Ministers should have a clear stand on the issue and avoid making contradictory statements. 

The minister declined to comment on the reports of a possible change in leadership in the State Government.
