Visakhapatnam, June 30, 2013: As the Telangana Congress
public representatives were busy delivering emotionally charged speeches in
Hyderabad to press their demand for a separate state, ministers and other
public representatives from the Seemandhra region camped in Vizag all through the
day to meet the party’s state affairs in-charge, Digvijay Singh to put forth
their demand to maintain status quo on the state and not divide Andhra Pradesh.
Digvijay Singh was in Vizag to take part in a private
programme. High pitched slogans, placards, posters and banners carried by
Congress activists in large numbers in support of a united state welcomed
Singh at the Vizag airport.
State ministers Sake Sailajanath, Ganta Srinivas Rao, P.
Balaraju, Union ministers D. Purandeswari,
Killi Kruparani, senior party leaders Gade Venkata Reddy, Paladagu Venkat Rao,
Rudraraju Padmaraju and many other MLAs met Digvijay Singh.
They later submitted a memorandum asking him to convey their
feelings and sentiments to keep the state united to the party central
leadership.
“We submitted our memorandum to Singh and told him he
should be talking to everyone on the issue on Monday in Hyderabad . We have strongly put forth
our demand before him,” said Gade Venkat Reddy.
Minister Sailajanath exuded confidence that state would
remain united and it is not so easy to divide AP which was formed
on linguistic basis.
“AP was formed on linguistic basis and witnessed major
developments. It’s not so easy to divide. I am confident that the
state will remain united. I sincerely feel that the Congress-led UPA government
will take a decision on the issue only after consulting all stakeholders,”
Sailajanath said.
They also requested Singh to convey to the party
leadership not to yield to the “blackmail” tactics of Telangana protagonists.
Congress activists and students representatives of
Samaikyandhra JAC in large numbers gathered at the airport to submit
memorandums.
