The Union Ministers from Seemandhra region on Wednesday demanded that Hyderabad be made a Union Territory on a permanent basis.
The ministers - D Purandeswari, M M Pallam Raju, K Chiranjeevi, Kotla Suryaprakash Reddy, J D Seelam, Panabaka Lakshmi and Killi Kruparani met their senior cabinet colleagues and members of the Group of Ministers (GoM) P Chidambaram and Jairam Ramesh with their "fresh" demand.
They demanded that if the division of Andhra Pradesh was inevitable, then Hyderabad should be declared a permanent Union Territory.
They also asked the ministers to set up a Committee to identify a suitable location for the new capital for residual Andhra Pradesh state.
Speaking to media persons later, Chiranjeevi condemned MIM President Asaduddin Owaisi's criticism to the demand of a Union Territory status for Hyderabad.
"When Owaisi can demand Rayala-Telangana, then can't we ask for UT status for Hyderabad?" he asked. (INN)

The best solution is making Hyderabad iunion territory including rayalseema fists all if possible rather then splitting rayalseema and build a separate capital for andhras . Telangana can have hyderabad as their capital or build a new capital in warangal ..3 regionsare happy because telangana capital is in ut ,rayalseema is not divided,so can flourish without any BA mward regionsexcept utharandhra.
