Danam opposes UT status for Hyderabad

Labour Minister Danam Nagender on Monday said that any move to change the status of Hyderabad would be opposed.

Speaking to media persons in the State Secretariat here, Danam said that some leaders from Seemandhra region have been demanding Union Territory status for Hyderabad. Describing such proposals and demands are irrelevant and baseless, Danam claimed that there was no proposal with the Centre to make the State capital a UT. However, he said any such move would be strongly opposed.

Danam further claimed that such demands were being raised by the Seemandhra leaders to mislead the Centre and also to divert the attention of people in their region. He said that Telangana with Hyderabad as its capital would be acceptable to the people of this region.
