Stating that Hyderabad is the joint capital of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana State for a period of 10 years, Andhra Pradesh Labour Minister K Atchan Naidu said that the AP people would not leave the city even one hour before the end of deadline.
Speaking to media persons in the State Secretariat on Thursday, Atchan Naidu condemned Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao for describing the AP leaders as guests in Hyderabad. He said AP and Telangana have equal rights over Hyderabad up to 10 years. He said Andhra people have invested their wealth for the development of Hyderabad. Therefore, KCR should not try to intimidate AP leaders by calling them as guests. He said AP leaders and people would stay in Hyderabad for 10 years and seek extension of period, if required.
Atchan Naidu also blamed the Congress party for dividing the State and making KCR a hero in Telangana. He said Andhra Pradesh Government would give a fitting reply if KCR takes any action against Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu or other leaders. (INN)
