New Delhi, December 24: Seeking to justify its action of putting on hold the creation of a Telangana state, the government today said “one-sided” decision cannot be taken as consensus was required on the issue and expressed confidence that people will “accept it” after some time.
“Any important decision is taken with everybody’s consent, after consultations with everybody. And this is what was felt by the government over the last few days that it is not possible at times to implement a one-sided decision all of a sudden,” Information and Broadcasting Minister Ambika Soni told reporters here.
She was responding when asked why the process of creation of Telangana has been put on hold.
Citing the situation in Andhra Pradesh, Soni said the Centre wants to take any decision “after proper consensus building”.
