BJP on Thursday said it favoured the inclusion on Hyderabad in the proposed state of Telangana.
Asked if BJP supported the demand that Andhra Pradesh capital Hyderabad be a part of Telengana, senior party leader M Venkaiah Naidu said "when the central government will bring the Bill, we will react."
Later, Naidu endorsed his party spokesperson Prakash Javadekar's view that Hyderabad will be part of Telangana, saying "he (Javadekar) is in-charge of the state, I support what he said."
"BJP welcomes the announcment made by the UPA government with regard to starting the process of creation of a separate state of Telengana. Though late, we welcome the announcement," he said.
However, he was critical of the government for not sharing details of how it planned to carve out the new state.
"We wanted the government to share with the House the contours of the plan and roadmap for creation of the state. Unfortunately, the government did not have the courtesy to take Parliament into confidence especially when it is in session," Naidu said. PTI
