New Delhi/Hyderabad,Dec 15:Breaking his silence after the flash point on Telangana issue has reached, Y S Jaganmohan Reddy,MP from Kadapa made an arbitrary statement in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday that he is not for the division of the state but for a `Golden Telangana‘ or a well developed Telangana thus keeping his detractors at bay.Jaganmohan Reddy,popularly known as Jagan,cleared his view on Telangana issue stating that he stands for united Andhra Pradesh.No separate Andhra or no separate Rayalaseema or even no separate Telangana.His critics,specially the senior Congress leaders who were quick to read between the lines in his statements had to retreat quickly and find other ways to malign his name.
However,they were successful in targeting Jagan by claiming that he has joined hands with the Telugu Desam MPs from Telangana so he stood along with them in the Lok Sabha when the debate on Telangana issue propped up.Already complains against Jagan in this regard reached Union Defence Minister A K Antony.When media asked him to clarify the happenings in the Lok Sabha he said,he was not aware of what was happening in the House,for,everything was in a confusion.Spelling out his stand on Telangana he said it was Telugu Desamn party chief Chandrababu Naidu and Praja Rajyam Party president Chiranjeevi who were responsible for this present mess in Andhra Pradesh.
When Telangana Rashtra Samiti president K Chandrasekar Rao (KCR) was fasting for separate Telangana,these two stalwarts visited KCR and assured them of their support if a resolution for separate Telangana is introduced in the Assembly.Having made such statements,now they are retreating their steps and blaming the Congress.Meanwhile,the Congres MLAs and MLCs from Telangana who were solidly behind Jagan during their campaign for Jagan as chief Minster now are making cautious statements about him.
