Telangana : Narendra Modi's open letter questions Congress's motives for creating Telangana state

Ahmedabad: Narendra Modi today welcomed the creation of a separate state of Telangana, but slammed the Congress-led UPA government for not being transparent in its decision-making.

In an open letter to the people of Andhra Pradesh, Mr Modi, who is scheduled to address a huge rally in Hyderabad on August 11, reiterated that the BJP had championed the cause of smaller states. He said the NDA government had created three new states of Chhattisgarh, Uttarakhand and Jharkhand in 2000. "The BJP has been forthcoming and transparent in its support for statehood to Telangana," he wrote.

The Gujarat chief minister, who was last month elevated to head BJP's poll campaign for 2014, cautioned the people of Andhra Pradesh against trusting "a party (Congress) and a Government (UPA) that has betrayed the people on the issue of Telangana time and again."
