AP’s division will damage Congress, says Veerashiva Reddy

Kadapa, July 28 : Kamalapuram Congress MLA Veerashiva Reddy, who resigned in favour of Samaikhyandhra, on Sunday said that the Congress would win at least 20 Lok Sabha seats if it keeps Andhra Pradesh united.

Talking to reporters here, Veerashiva Reddy said that the Congress party would be doing a mistake if it decides to support formation of Telangana State. He said besides other problems, the division of State would cause immense damage to the Congress party. Opposing the proposal of Rayala Telangana, he said that the no political group was empowered to divide the Rayalaseema region.

Veerashiva Reddy also warned the Seemandhra MPs and ministers, who do not oppose bifurcation of the State, of strong protests by the people in their own constituencies. INN
