Bandh in Seemandhra today after Cabinet clears Telangana bill

Hyderabad: YSR Congress has called for a shutdown on Friday to protest the Union Cabinet's decision to bifurcate Andhra Pradesh by carving out separate Telangana state.

Without naming Seemandhra (Rayalaseema and coastal Andhra), YSR Congress president YS Jaganmohan Reddy appealed to all people of the regions to be affected by the cabinet's decision to participate in the shutdown.

Jagan, as the MP is popularly known, termed the cabinet approval for Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Bill, as another step for destroying the state.

He alleged that Congress took the decision for votes and seats while ignoring the protest of 75 percent of the state's population.

Jagan, who had been mobilizing support of various regional and national parties to keep the state united, appealed to government employees, workers and farmers to voluntarily observe the shutdown.



Sadism Celebrations in Telangana

Within minutes after the Cabinet approved the draft bill on Telanagana, celebrations broke out in Hyderabad and other parts of the region.

As the news broke about the cabinet approving draft Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Bill, Telangana supporters gathered at Telangana martyrs' memorial near assembly building here and paid their tributes.

Telangana activists raised slogans of 'Jai Telangana', hugged each other, distributed sweets and burst crackers.

After day-long shutdown to protest the central government's reported proposal of Rayala-Telangana, the cabinet decision brought cheers to pro-Telangana groups.

There were celebrations by the students at Osmania University, which earlier in the day witnessed clashes between protesting students and police.

Leaders and activists of Congress, Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS), Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Communist Party of India (CPI) and other groups were seen congratulating each other.
