NewsX: Decision on Telangana today, BJP to oppose Hyderabad as joint capital
- 5 years ago
Hyderabad : A formal announcement to meet nearly six-decade-old demand for Telangana state is likely to be announced after the two meetings, Congress sources said.
If the party leaders from Telangana are to be believed, their region is all set to become 29th state of the country. They believe it will be the same state, which existed as Hyderabad State before its merger with then Andhra State in 1956.
"Everything will be settled today (Tuesday). We are 100 percent positive. Telangana is going to be a reality with Hyderabad as its capital," Deputy Chief Minister Damodar Rajanarasimha told reporters before leaving for Delhi Tuesday morning.
Telangana state will comprise 10 districts with Hyderabad as its capital, said D.K. Aruna, a minister from Telangana.
The Congress leadership has reportedly dropped the proposal for Rayala-Telangana, comprising Rayalaseema and Telangana in view of strong opposition from leaders of both the regions. It is also understood to have given up the idea of union territory status to Hyderabad due to reservations by Telangana leaders.
The other state comprising Rayalaseema and Andhra regions is likely to retain the name Andhra Pradesh. Hyderabad is likely to be made joint capital of both the states for some years till Andhra Pradesh develops its own capital.
According to reports, the BJP will oppose if government decides to make Hyderabad the joint capital.
