Division of Andhra Pradesh not Acceptable - Congress MP

New Delhi, Dec 13 (IANS) Vowing he would do anything for a united Andhra Pradesh, L. Rajagopal, a Congress MP from Vijayawada, Sunday said the division of the coastal state for a proposed Telangana would not be allowed.

"We will not allow the division of Andhra Pradesh. Why should Andhra be divided?" Rajagopal told reporters here.

Rajagopal and 130 legislators from the state assembly had submitted their resignations in protest against the central government's nod to creation of a separate Telangana state. A final decision on initiating the process of statehood has been apparently delayed.

"The situation in Andhra Pradesh is very disturbing," Rajagopal said voicing his concern.

"Now I have decided to join the movement (against division of the state). Hyderabad (which is proposed to be the capital of Telangana, when created) is the mother and the 22 districts of Andhra Pradesh are her children. We will not betray our mother," he said.

"I wish that peace prevails in the state and that Telugu-speaking people the world over and in Andhra Pradesh come and demonstrate their unity," the Congress MP said, adding he was proud to be working under the leadership of party president Sonia Gandhi.

    I have a suggestion for Sonia Gandhi,the best solution ,since TRS wants a Telangana state with Hyderabad as Capital and others from Rayalseema and coastal Andhra also want Hyderabad,it would be good if the name of Andhra Pradesh state would be changed to Telangana,in this way the capital of the state of Telangana would be Hyderabad,the remaining parts of the state will also have Hyderabad as their capital and KCR will also get his state of Telangana,in fact a larger one than he expected and everyone's wish will be satisfied,no bifurcation of the state and still there will be a state called Telangana.
