Naidu questions delay on Telangana issue

Hyderabad, June 14: Naidu questions delay on Telangana issue Hyderabad: Telugu Desam Party president N Chandrababu Naidu has demanded an explanation from the Congress over the delay in taking a decision on the contentious Telangana statehood issue.

“It is for the Congress to take a decision on Telangana.

It should explain to the people why it is delaying a decision on the issue and keeping the state in turmoil for long,” Chandrababu said, inaugurating a two-day workshop of party MPs, MLAs, MLCs and senior leaders at the NTR Bhavan here today.

The Congress has no right or authority to criticise the TDP on the statehood issue, he said.

“We have made our stand very clear on the issue. At the recently-concluded Mahanadu (annual general body meeting) also we gave clarity on our stand. It is for the Centre to take a decision on the issue,” the TDP chief asserted.
