Former Minister JC Diwakar Reddy said today TRS, MIM and others are favourable for the formation of Rayala Telangana state as mooted by him.

Speaking to media persons in Hyderabad, Diwakar reddy said even the TDP MLAs from his district have also agreed for the proposal, apart from other political parties.

Diwakar Reddy, who has been advocating the formation of Rayala Telangana state making the two districts of Ananthapuram and Kurnool as part of the Telangana state to be formed, made it clear today the people in the two districts will have food and water only if they are merged with the Telangana state to be formed.

“I have collected the opinion of our MLAs and they are all agreeable for the proposal,” he said adding, they would soon go to Delhi and put forth their arguments.

Rayala Telangana is a conspiracy: CPI

CPI MLA Mr Kunamneni Sambasiva Rao described the demand of JC Diwakar reddy for formation of Rayala Telangana is a conspiracy. “It is only an attempt to prevent formation of Telangana state,” he told journalists in Hyderabad.

TRS MLA Mr K. Taraka Rama Rao also said the demand for formation of Rayala Telangana is not a serious one. “We only want the Centre to form Telangana state with all former Telangana areas merged with AP,” he said. (J)
