I am for united Andhra, Golden Telangana: Jaganmohan


New Delhi, Dec 15: There was high drama in parliament on Tuesday after Congress MP Y S Jaganmohan Reddy made common cause with his bitter rivals, the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), to press for a united Andhra Pradesh, even as he said he stood for a “Golden Telangana” without specifying what he meant by this.

The division in the Congress ranks was more than evident as party MPs clashed in the Lok Sabha over the Telangana issue, forcing the adjournment of the house for 10 minutes. Telangana figured in the Rajya Sabha too, with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) accusing the government of “playing with the sensitivities of people” on the issue and reiterating its demand for a roadmap on the creation of the separate state.
