Telangana effect: Union govt is ignoring majority's opinion, says Andhra CM

"The minimum, we expect from the Government of India, is to follow the established practices and conventions and as a first step, refer the matter to the state assembly for appropriate resolution," he wrote

After getting the resolution, and building consensus among various stakeholders, the bill can be sent to president for further reference to the state legislature, he said.

He claimed that the government was going ahead with the process without building a consensus and doing the homework to address the concerns of Seemandhra (Rayalaseema and coastal Andhra) people.
