Andhra CM Kiran Reddy's political drama is over, says deputy CM

Hyderabad: Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Damodar Rajanarasimha Thursday said with the completion of the debate on Telangana bill in the state legislature, the political drama of Chief Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy had come to

In a point to point rebuttal to the resolution moved by the chief minister, he said the movement for separate Telangana state was the biggest mass movement of the world. He also pointed out that Telangana existed as Hyderabad State for eight years.

Disputing that separate state is not economically viable, he said erstwhile princely state of Hyderabad had its own industries, railways and even its own currency and was the second richest state in the world.

On Kiran Reddy's claim that the bill is in total disregard to the cultural homogeneity of Telangana and Seemandhra, Rajanarasimha said they were poles apart.
