Hyderabad, Dec. 11: The Vijayawada Congress MP, Mr Lagadapati Rajagopal, has threatened to go on an indefinite hunger strike if the Telangana resolution is not moved in the Assembly immediately and the public representatives are not allowed to vote as per their conscience.
Mr Rajagopal, who is a strong supporter of United Andhra Pradesh, submitted resignation to his membership on Thursday.
He rushed a letter to the Chief Minister, Mr K. Rosaiah, demanding a resolution on Telangana immediately in the Assembly.
In the interest of the people and the state, Mr Rajagopal said, he had decided to join the people’s movement for a United Andhra Pradesh.
He further said he would sit on an indefinite hunger strike near the AP Assembly soon.
Talking about developments over the Telangana issue, Mr Rajagopal said the leaders of all parties have taken a step back respecting the aspirations of the people and demand for a United Andhra Pradesh.
He said majority of the MPs, MLAs, MLCs and citizens of the state are of the view that Andhra Pradesh should not be divided.
Mr Rajagopal said Telangana resolution must be tabled in the Assembly. According to him, this will enable the public representatives to vote as per their conscience keeping in mind the will of the people of Andhra Pradesh.

Ladagapati should be barred from setting foot in Hyderabad, and his project should be scrapped. He kept mum when his party promised separate Telangana and has now exposed himself. He is not courageous and he is interested only in saving his business interests. Further there should be an investigation how he accumulated his wealth.
AS a Hyderabadi and a Telugu, I find the hamhanded manner in which P. Chidambaram read out his midnight announcement splitting Andhra Pradesh, the home state of millions of Telugus all over the globe, distasteful. This is a congress conspiracy to create weakness among Indians, not good for the country, worse for the people of Telangana, Hyderabad will be deserted by MNCs.
I think all of these MPs, MLAs and MLCs should go on a fast. These fat, greedy bums have messed up the political risk factors for investment in AP.
Mr L. Rajagopal is talking nonsense. He has become a multi millionaire because of United Andhra Pradesh. He knows that if separate Telangana resolution is tabled in the Assembly right now there will be 100% defeat and a clear way is established for United Andhra Pradesh. His properties, land real estate business belongs to the people of Telangana. He is blackmailing the government by threatening that he will resign from the post and he will sit on fast unto death. He is the least important person in the eyes of Telangana people.
It looks like Telangana Prof. Jayashankar prepared the essay, it may get good marks in writing competitions. Your own Telangana leaders are deceiving. Current Telangana is far far better than 2 decades back. When Andhra and Rayalaseema people start investing in Hyderabad not because of Hyderabad is a rich and goldmines are there. They never thought it's going to separate and they invested billions of dollars either by film studios, hotels, real estate, construction, you name it. They never show descrimination. In Telugu movies, they showed funny on all regions accent, it doesn't mean they targeted Telanganites. For your info. Palnadu from Guntur area, Prakasam, Rayalaseema whole are very undeveloped worser than Telangana. Andhra people and leaders involved in major irrigation projects, Hyderabad airport, pharma, biotech, best of hotels you name it,but Telangana people always show Osmania, High Court, Kachiguda? These are very big projects? One airport flyover cost is enough to construct what Nizam has done, don't preach by Telangana people. The motto of the separate state agitation by KCR and some selfish politicians, only because they're thinking Andhra people dominating every area including politics, that disgruntlement they're throwing to telangana people like Gobels propaganda and creating mayhem. Andhra people whoever invested in Hyderabad, they're not developing their profits in Andhra and Rayalaseema, that's 100% true, Hyderabad belongs to United AP, if you think let them calculate Andhra and Rayalaseema by experts, you;ll shock it.
Andhrites have also invested in Bengaluru and Chennai. Do you have the guts to claim those cities also in AP. You Andhrites are wonderful people and you are damaging your own property in Andhra and Rayalaseema to keep Telangana against the will of Telanganites. Height of stupidity. But Andhra and Rayalaseema people think that Telanganites are their slaves without any will of their own. Shame on you.
