The Union Home Ministry is all set to proceed for the next steps to be taken in the Andhra Pradesh bifurcation. As per the reports say that President of India may not grant additional time and so the Telangana bill is likely to reach Home Ministry by end of this week. On 4th of February the group of Ministers (GoMs) will meet at Home Minister's block in the North block and are likely to table the complete AP Reorganization bill on February 10th.

To tackle the main opposition BJP and its demands in the Parliament, the GoM will look after the inputs of Seemandhra BJP leaders and accordingly six major amendments will be made in the Bill. Also a package of seven thousand crore will be granted initially for the Seemandhra new capital which will be made official in 45 days and IIT, IIM, AIIMS colleges will be set-up by the union government with a deadline.

Overall the Home Ministry is doing all sorts of exercises to take the Telangana bill to Parliament in this session  itself even though Chief Minister of AP and MLAs of Seemandhra are against it.
