Lagadapati Rajagopal, Congress MP from Vijayawada, met Governor E S L Narsimhan, at the Raj Bhavan this morning and submitted a memorandum on the issue of free zone.
Speaking to the media after calling on the Governor, the Congress MP said that he met the Governor to apprise him of the prevailing situation in the state. He also asserted that if the state capital remains a free zone, the people of all the nine districts of Telangana would be benefitted.
Clarifying the question that he was the brain behind filing the Special Leave Petition in the Supreme Court on the free zone issue, Rajagopal explained that the two petitioners, who knocked the doors of the Apex Court on free zone issue, were from Telangana only. “However, if the people conclude that I was behind the SLP in the Supreme Court, I welcome it,” he added.
