On Home Secretary G K Pillai’s comment on Hyderabad being the capital of Telangana, he said he thought the Home Secretary had no proper brief. “I don’t know how a responsible person like him made such a statement in a situation of this sort.It is really surprising.
”The Chief Minister said he would not call Telangana Rashtra Samiti Chief Chandrasekhar Rao’s fast unto death as political blackmail and similarly he would not bracket the resignation by MPs and MLAs as stage-managed.He said a resolution would have to be found but with emotions running high, it would be very difficult.Asked whether the issue was being put on the back-burner, he said, “no, no, not like that. It is under consideration, what to do and how to go about it.”
