BJP demands Srikrishna panel to visit Telangana region

Hyderabad, February 28: The Andhra Pradesh unit of BJP today demanded members of justice Srikrishna Committee to visit villages in Andhra Pradesh’s Telangana districts.

The five-member committee constituted by the Centre to examine demand for a separate state of Telangana and as well as the demand of unified Andhra Pradesh is scheduled to visit Hyderabad in the first week of March to hold consultations with various parties and organisations on the issue.

The people of Telangana region have been demanding for a separate state and they support the BJP, which is the only party openly supporting the people’s wish, state BJP chief and former Union Minister Bandaru Dattatreya told reporters here.

Just visiting Hyderabad and having consultations will not serve any purpose and let members of the Srikrishna panel visit the villages, he said.
