Vijayawada MP Lagadapati Rajagopal on Wednesday claimed that the Congress-led UPA Government would stall the process of formation of Telangana State.
Talking to reporters after Seemandhra MPs of Congress party met at his residence here, Lagadapati said that the MPs got clear indications from the Centre that the State's bifurcation process would be stopped. He said an official announcement in this regard was expected soon. He said the decision would certainly bring the on-going agitations in Seemandhra region to a halt.
Lagadapati said that the Seemandhra MPs were putting all efforts to prevent the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh. The State is still united only due to the Seemandhra MPs. He said that the MPs would present the concerns of Seemandhra people before the High Powered Committee led by Defence Minister AK Antony.
The meeting at Lagadapati's residence was attended by MPs - Harsha Kumar, Magunta Srinivasulu Reddy, SPY Reddy, Sai Pratap, Ananta Venkatarami Reddy, KVP Ramachandra Rao and others.
