Azad, PC opposes Rayala Telangana
Hyderabad: Union Health minister Ghulam Nabi Azad and Finance minister P Chidambaram, it is learnt, have vehemently opposed Rayala Telangana while Union ministers Jairam Ramesh and Veerappa Moily have been trying to pushin favour of Rayala Telangana.
After Telangana, the state is now burning over GoM's nod to Rayala Telangana. While we thought the Group of Minister had a consensus on the Rayala Telangana decision, the truth is something different.
While Union Health minister, one of the members of GoM was not present yesterday during the crucial meet that gave its green signal for Rayala Telangana, Chidambaram strongly argued in favour of Telangana with 10 districts.
Azad was on an official tour and on his return expressed his disappointment over the decision. Azad is believed to have instructed his colleagues to stick to what was decided by the Congress Working Committe, acorrding to which Telangana will be granted separate statehood with Hyderabad as joint capital.
