Union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde on Tuesday said Seemandhra will be given special package immediately after the government managed to get the Telangana Bill passed in Lok Sabha.
“We had promised a separate Telangana and we had to pass it,” Shinde added.
Earlier, Shinde had made it clear that there will be no hurdle in creation of Telangana during the tenure of UPA-II.
Amid pandemonium, the Lok Sabha today finally passed a Bill aimed at carving out a Telangana state out of Andhra Pradesh.
The Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Bill was passed by voice vote in the face of noisy protests by Andhra Pradesh MPs opposed to Telangana as well as a section of the Opposition parties.
