Tejasvi Surya’s Remarks on Telangana Spark Controversy

BJP MP Tejasvi Surya has sparked controversy with his remarks on the formation of Telangana. He compared the creation of the state to the partition of Pakistan from India and alleged that Andhra Pradesh was divided worse than under British rule. His comments have drawn sharp criticism, with many leaders stating that such remarks reflect long-standing opposition within the BJP toward Telangana’s formation.

Leaders from Telangana, including Congress members and activists, strongly condemned the statements. Minister Ponnam Prabhakar expressed anger, saying the remarks insult the state and its people. He warned against making irresponsible comments and emphasized that Telangana was formed after many sacrifices. He also accused BJP leaders of repeatedly undermining the sentiments and aspirations of the people of Telangana.
