Chidambaram Statement on Telangana Issue

Union Home Minister P Chidambaram on Tuesday made a statement on the contentitious Telangana issue at Delhi. He said more clarity is required among all the parties in Andhra Pradesh to resolve the issue.

He said, there is no point in calling an all party meet at this juncture, as there is no consensus among the parties in Andhra Pradesh including the state Congress. Asked whether the demand for a separate Rayalaseema has also surfaced, the home minister said that it is natural that when one region of a state wants to get separated, obviously there would be similar demands from the remaining regions.
