The AP state Legislative Assembly, on Thursday, had adopted a resolution requesting the central government to retain Hyderabad as Zone VI and not as a "free zone", for the purpose of recruitment in the police department. The resolution follows the dismissal of a review petition of the AP government filed in the Supreme Court, asking for Hyderabad to be considered as Zone VI.
The decision sparked off outbursts among MLAs from Seema and Andhra, who termed it unfair of the CM to agree to such a resolution, and said such a move was detrimental to the interests of non-locals of Hyderabad.
More interestingly, pro-Telangana MP Vijayasanthi has lashed out against her former co-star of several hit movies - PRP and United Andhra leader Chiranjeevi. The former actress said the adoption of the Assembly resolution was a triumph for the people of Telangana. She also went on to say that Chiranjeevi had no right to even stay in Hyderabad.
