Samaikyandhra JAC Protests Against Naidu

After facing strong criticism by pro-Telangana groups for not supporting the statehood demand, Telugu Desam Party president N Chandrababu Naidu has now become the target of integrationists.

In a protest against Naidu for giving the Centre a letter supporting the formation of a Telangana state, Samaikhyandhra Political JAC leaders on Sunday erected a "To-Let" board at the district TDP office.

According to JAC convener J T Rama Rao, "The TDP chief has betrayed the people of the Seemandhra region by supporting a Telangana state."

He also asked the integrationists to boycott Naidu's Vastunna Mee Kosam padayatra in the Rayalaseema and Andhra regions.

It may be mentioned here that in a fresh letter given to Union Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde during the all-party meeting on the issue on December 28, Naidu had supported the formation of Telangana by stating that it stands by its earlier letter submitted on October 18, 2008, wherein it jad described statehood for the region as a "historic necessity".

The TDP had also promised to take legal, constitutional and political steps towards the creation of Telangana. (INN)
