BJP continues to support statehood for Telangana, says Venkaiah Naidu

Stating that there was no change in his party's stance on the issue of division of Andhra Pradesh, senior BJP leader M Venkaiah Naidu on Tuesday said that they supported the formation of separate Telangana.

"There is no change in party's stance. We are in support of forming separate Telangana. We also say that justice should be done to Seemandhra. It is the responsibility of the government to address the concerns of Seemandhra," he said.

"BJP is the only party in Andhra Pradesh, a national party, which speaks in one voice in both Telangana and Seemandhra. The government should bring the Telangana bill to Parliament at the earliest," the BJP leader said.
