BJP national vice-president Bandaru Dattatreya on Sunday asserted that any proposal to declare Hyderabad as a Union Territory was not acceptable to his party.
At a press conference here, he said there was no change in the BJP stand of carving out a Telangana State with 10 districts, including Hyderabad.
It was also not in favour of Rayala-Telangana and pointed out that the party always supported the creation of smaller States for administrative convenience.
Asked what would be BJP’s stand if the UPA Government introduced a Bill for creation of Rayala-Telangana in Parliament, he quipped it was a hypothetical question.
“We will see. The party will decide. BJP will give a fitting reply then. Nobody can believe the Congress. They are using all types of cards for political purpose”, he added.
Mr. Dattatreya condemned the statement of Majlis- Ittehadul- Muslimeen (MIM) leader Asaddudin Owaisi that his party was opposed to creation of Telangana because BJP would get strengthened.
Majlis was a pawn in Congress strategy on Telangana issue, he added.
The BJP leader expressed concern over the flow of money and liquor in the Panchayat elections.
