"Rayala Telangana KCR's Imagination"
Sailajanath rubbished the statement of KCR on the Rayala Telangana concept, and said that he would not believe that such a proposal was made by Centre to resolve the Telangana crisis.
Seemandhra Forum convener and Primary Education Minister S Sailajanath on Thursday raised doubts about the proposal of a merger of Anantapur and Kurnool into Telangana being mooted by the Centre.
Talking to reporters, Sailajanath rubbished the statement of Telangana Rashtra Samithi president K Chandrasekhar Rao on this issue, and said that he would not believe that such a proposal was made by Centre to resolve the Telangana crisis.
Stating that KCR had repeated such statements frequently earlier, he described the alleged proposition of merging Kurnool and Anantapur districts in Rayala Telangana as 'imaginary'.
However, the Minister said that Seemandhra leaders, especially those hailing from Rayalaseema, are against the said merger.
Sailajanath also said that in case the Centre does come up with such a proposal, Seemandhra leaders would mount pressure on it, opposing the division of the state. (INN)
