Vijayawada MP Lagadapati Rajagopal on Monday reiterated that the Centre would never divide Andhra Pradesh.
Talking to reporters at Gandhi Bhavan here, Rajagopal said that a few leaders were making speculative statements about Centre conceding the demand for formation of Telangana. He said the possibilities of division of Andhra Pradesh were remote. He said that no serious discussions were going on at the Centre over Telangana issue and some leaders have been making statements only to gain mileage from media. "They are trying to create Telangana State through statements in media," he said.
Earlier, Lagadapati along with PCC president Botsa Satyanarayana held a meeting with the leaders from Jaggaiahpet assembly segment at Gandhi Bhavan. A few TDP leaders including some corporators from Krishna district have also joined the Congress party on the occasion. Botsa has reportedly assured the leaders that he would soon nominate the Krishna district incharge.
