JD (U) president Mulayam Singh Yadav, who is strongly opposing division of states, has categorically stated that his party will oppose the Telangana bill when introduced in the Parliament. He said it is not wise dividing the country into smaller states succumbing to local pressures. He said the way Chattish Garh, Uttarakhand and Jarkhand states are reeling under serious crisis after division are teaching good lessons. Yet, the Congress is going ahead without taking these facts into consideration. He said his UP state is enjoying full benefits of being biggest state in the country. He asked whether the Congress can dare to divide it. He is all praise to CM Kiran Kumar Reddy for his bold stand taken in favor of united state.

Apart from his arguments, the revival of Gorka Land agitations demanding for separate state from last three days, the protests in Seemandhra region against bifurcation of the state, former DGP Swaranjit Sen’s statement of possible spreading of Maoists from Chattish Garh to Telangana may leave their impact on Congress high command. If, it is succumbed to these pressures, then it is likely to form a 2nd SRC to overcome all these problems.
