Pranab Mukherjee: No plans to create more states
New Delhi: Union finance minister Pranab Mukherjee has made it clear that saying yes to Telangana does not mean saying yes to the creation of other states.

"State is to express its views before President recommends bill to be considered in Parliament. Therefore these are the steps to be taken. But it does not mean - Telengana has been going on for 60 years - it does not mean that everywhere new states are going to be created," said Pranab.
