Guntur: The Joint Auction Committee For a United Andhra Pradesh has taken a stand opposing the demand for carving out a separate Telangana state.

The committee which met at the Acharya Nagarjuna University campus with S Samuel as chairperson, mounted a scathing attack on Telangana Rashtra Samithi supremo N Chandrasekhara Rao and Kodanda Ram of Telangana Joint Action Committee, describing them as villains of the piece.

Speaking on the occasion, Mohammed Hidyat expressed fears that Andhra which falls under the lower riparian area of the Godavari and Krishna rivers may become a desert if the state is divided. "Irrigation projects will be hit," he claimed.

However, Samuel evaded a question about how unity could be forced on unwilling Telangana people, who seem have contempt for Andhrites and view then as exploiters.

If telangana is not formed then there will be a big problem for this state. The demand for telangana will go on forever till it is formed. Seemandhra politicians want united state only for Hyderabad because their companies, investments and revenues are in hyderabad because of that they are not ready for bifurcation. If this demand and agitation continues then andhra people also start demanding separate andhra state and that will happen in near future. There is nothing wrong in having this two states or the state must use Punjab-Haryana formula. Making Hyderabad as a union territory is not wrong as it serves as a capital of both Telangana and Seemandhra. Or Hyderabad must be made as a india`s second national capital. United state leads to many probles in future even though the telangana people keeps shut demanding separate state, they will again come with new problems so separate state is best solution
