Labour Minister Danam Nagender on Monday claimed that he had received clear indications from the Centre on State’s bifurcation.
Talking to reporters here, Nagender said that the Centre might take a decision in favour of formation of Telangana State. However, he said that the Centre might propose Hyderabad as the common capital for two States for 10 years. However, Nagender also ruled out the possibility of Hyderabad being given the status of a Union Territory. He said that the city might remain the common capital for both the States till alternate arrangements were made.
Requesting all concerned to accept the idea when proposed by the Centre, Nagender refused to divulge more information stating that it might lead to unnecessary controversy.
When asked about the reported plans of the opposition parties to move a No Confidence Motion against the Kiran Kumar Reddy Government, he said that the Congress party has defeated one such motion in the past and it enjoys sufficient strength in the Assembly to defeat another move. (INN)
