Hyderabad:
At Osmania University, protestors attacked Telugu Desam Party (TDP) MLAs from Telangana, including former health minister N Janardhan Reddy. Students were upset that even though these MLAs have resigned, their party leader, Chandrababu Naidu, did not speak out in favour of Telangana.
It is perhaps fear of this kind of backlash that had Telangana MLAs of all political hues, including Andhra Sports Minister KV Reddy, handing in their papers to the Speaker of the Andhra Assembly.
Politicians in support of a Telangana state are upset with the Centre, which, on Wednesday, made it clear that the creation of a new state is on hold, given the lack of political consensus on the issue in Andhra.
