The vociferous Samaikyandhra Congress leader Lagadapati Rajagopal has surprised everybody by opposing UT status to Hyderabad. Speaking to media he said “After all, who benefits by making Hyderabad as Union Territory. Neither Telangana nor Seemandhra people will benefit with it. It will not help in resolving the problems, instead further complicates the problems. We are being blamed for not allowing the Telangana people to have Hyderabad. Our fight is for keeping the state united and not Hyderabad alone. So, I doesn’t support demands for making Hyderabad as Union Territory.”
