The Union Minister for Tourism, Dr.Chiranjeevi has responded on the bifurcation of the state and the agitations from Seemandhra people. Chiranjeevi said, " It's natural that the people of Seemandhra going emotional as they can't digest the division of the state. I too, feel very sorry about the ongoing political developments. However, they should remember the fact that the decision taken by the Congress party has come out only after taking the consensus of all the political parties. The people who are going on agitations should question the leaders of political parties about what their stand on state's division is. Then they know the realities. At this juncture, all the political leaders and workers should maintain decency and should not become selfish for the benefits of their parties."
Finally, Chiranjeevi called for the people to fight for Hyderabad as the permanent capital of both Telangana and Seemandhra.
