Rayalaseema Hakkula Parirakshana Vedika chairman Byreddy Rajasekhara Reddy has sought the support of the Bharatiya Janata Party in preventing the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh.
Speaking to media persons after meeting BJP state president G Kishan Reddy at the BJP headquarters in Nampally on Sunday, Byreddy said that the state should remain united. He said that the fact that more than one thousand youth had committed suicide for the cause of statehood for the Telangana region could not be denied, but said that the division of the state is not in the interest of the state.
Byreddy also ridiculed the demand for Rayala-Telangana, and described it as an attempt to insult the people of the Rayalaseema region.
He said such a move would finish the identity of the Rayalaseema region. He said that if the division of state was inevitable, then the Centre should trifurcate the state into Telangana, Rayalaseema and coastal Andhra. (INN)
