Hyderabad With the TRS-led agitation for Telangana statehood gaining momentum, the Andhra Pradesh unit of BJP today said it would soon launch a people’s movement in support of the issue.

“The party would soon launch a people’s agitation to achieve statehood for Telangana region,” state BJP president and former union minister Bandaru Dattatreya told a press conference here.

He said a meeting of intellectuals and pro-Telangana organisations would be held here on December 4 to formulate an action plan.

Alleging that the Congress, in power both in the state and the Centre, is the main hurdle in the creation of separate Telangana state, Dattatreya stressed the need for mounting pressure on the ruling party to bring a bill in Parliament for granting statehood to the region.
