Nagam asks Naidu to favour separate Telangana

Nagam Janardhan Reddy, who won the by-elections as an independent candidate from Nagarkurnool assembly constituency, on Wednesday demanded that Telugu Desam president N Chandrababu Naidu write a letter to Union Home Minister P Chidambaram stating that his party has no objection for formation of Telangana State.

Talking to media persons after the declaration of by-election results, a jubilant Nagam stated that the outcome of by-election results in the Telangana region have taught a fitting lesson to the betrayers of Telangana. “At least now Naidu should learn a lesson from the by-elections and write a letter to P Chidambaram stating that TDP is not opposed to the bifurcation of State,” he stated.

Nagam also advised the Telugu Desam Telangana Forum members to mount pressure on Naidu to write a letter to the Centre favouring formation of Telangana state. If Naidu fails to write a letter, he asked the Forum members to quit TDP and prove their commitment towards the statehood. Else, he said the TDP would lose confidence of Telangana people and would be completely wiped out from the region.

Nagam also thanked the people of constituency for reposing their confidence on him and supporting the Telangana statehood cause.
