Andhra Pradesh on boil,Cong ready to talk bifurcation

K Chandrasekhar Rao brought Telangana issue to New Delhi,holding a sit-in at Rajghat.

As TRS chief K Chandrasekhar Rao brought the Telangana issue to New Delhi,holding a sit-in at Rajghat,and as the shutdown in Andhra Pradesh entered the 20th day,the Congress was veering around to the idea of bifurcating the state.

While it was earlier not willing to consider anything more than the Srikrishna Committee’s suggestion of a statutory Regional Council,it now believes “things have gone much beyond”. Even making Hyderabad a joint capital for 10 years or more is reportedly on the table.

As per the party’s assessment,if Telangana is denied,the legislators who have quit,along with Jagan Mohan Reddy loyalists,could force the Kiran Reddy regime out.

On the other hand,if Andhra is bifurcated,the Congress believes,Reddy could survive and the party could also come to power in the new state with the TRS.
