Congress in a bind over separate state
With the Telangana Rashtra Samiti chief K Chandrashekhar Rao camping in the capital, Congress MPs are worried about not getting credit if the demand for a separate statehood is conceded.
The dispute over separate statehood for Telangana has the Congress leadership in a bind.
With the Telangana Rashtra Samiti chief K Chandrashekhar Rao camping in the capital, Congress MPs are worried about not getting credit if the demand for a separate statehood is conceded.
People are convinced that Congress does not support the separate statehood demand. “The gainer would be a non-Congress party. As the Chandrababu Naidu led Telugu Desam Party has opposed the division of Andhra Pradesh, I see the long term gainer would be the BJP,” a senior non-Congress MP said.
