Congress leaders to hold protest for "united" Andhra Pradesh in assembly on Tuesday

Hyderabad: Congress legislators and ministers supporting a "united" Andhra Pradesh plan to hold a protest in the premises of the legislative assembly on Tuesday.

The protest will take place from 10 am to 1 pm, state Primary Education Minister S Sailajanath, the leader of the pro-united Andhra Congress legislators, said.

Pro-united Andhra Congress legislators have been protesting against the bifurcation of state for long. They had earlier organised a protest in the premises of the Parliament in support of their demand.

In the wake of massive protests in coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema regions, Congress legislators demanded a "united" Andhra Pradesh before the All India Congress Committee (AICC).

Meanwhile, protests continued across the two regions for a "united" Andhra Pradesh.

The Congress Working Committee (CWC) had endorsed the demand for a separate Telangana on July 30.
