Former Speaker and senior TDP leader Mr Yanamala Ramakrishnudu asserted that there was no need for the TDP to express its opinion repeatedly on the demand for division of the state as it resolved in its 2011 Mahanadu asking the Centre to solve the issue.
“We are still committed to our 2011 Mahanadu resolution in which we asked the Centre to find a solution to the issue,” he told media persons in Hyderabad today. “It is up to the central government now to take a decision on the issue.”
The TDP leader’s comments come in the wake of the Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram’s request to TDP to bring consensus in his party on the issue of Telangana. The Minister said two days ago that congress was trying to bring consensus in its AP unit through discussions on Telangana and asked the TDP to follow suit.
Ramakrishnudu however said his party opposed the idea of common state capital or formation two or three capital cities as suggested by some congress leaders and asked the Centre to solve the issue immediately.
