BJP promises to deliver Telangana in 3 months

Attacking the UPA over Telangana issue, the BJP today claimed that the government was not interested in meeting the demand and promised a separate state within three months of being voted to power at the Centre.

Joining activists from Andhra Pradesh on the last day of the three-day fast to press for the separate statehood demand, BJP leader L K Advani asked the people to elect a party which includes Telangana in its election manifesto and stop believing in  Congress' false promises. He said that  BJP will make Telangana a major issue along with corruption in the next elections. There is no other alternative but to change the government in New Delhi. We all have to take a decision of believing in party which is serious on this issue and promises to form the state in its manifesto, he said. Addressing the protesters, Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Sushma Swaraj said this wait will be fruitful. Nothing can stop us from getting Telangana. Telangana will be created in three months once BJP government is sworn in, she said, adding UPA government is not interested in creating Telangana though it had mentioned in its election manifesto.
