HYDERABAD: Andhra Pradesh chief minister and TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu on Sunday urged his Telangana counterpart Revanth Reddy to work together for the interests of the Telegu people.
Addressing party workers in Hyderabad, CM Naidu said, “We did not contest elections in Telangana, but there are a lot of cadres here. This is the strength of TDP. All of you have worked for me directly or indirectly in the Andhra Pradesh elections…When the bifurcation happened, I said only one thing, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh are like my two eyes.”
“The TDP is the only party that did not take sides and worked for all of Telugu society.I wish both states prosperity. Now that Congress is in power, (Chief Minister) Revanth Reddy is taking development forward. This is the goal of the TDP,” CM Naidu said.
His address comes a day after he met with his Telangana counterpart, Revanth Reddy, in Hyderabad on Saturday. The two states decided to form committees of officials and ministers to resolve issues between the Telugu-speaking states, a decade after their bifurcation.
He said that both the Congress and the NDA government, which have different ideologies, will work together for the interest of the Telugu people.
In his address, CM Naidu said, “I will always be ready to protect the development of Telugu people in both states. There is a Congress government here and an NDA government in Andhra Pradesh. Both have different ideologies. But when it comes to the interests of Telugu people, we should work together…”
On July 6, at a press conference, Telangana Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka said ministers from both states discussed several issues during the meeting.
“We have discussed the unresolved issues from the Andhra Pradesh bifurcation over the last 10 years. While we do not expect all issues to be resolved immediately, we recognize the need for action. Therefore, we have made this decision,” Vikramarka said.
The Deputy Chief Minister announced that a committee of higher officials, including the Chief Secretaries and three officials from each state, would be formed.
“If some issues are not resolved by the officials’ committee, a committee of ministers from both states will be formed. If any issues remain unresolved, the Chief Ministers will discuss them,” Vikramarka added.
