Hyderabad: YSR Congress party chief Jagan Mohan Reddy today called for a united fight by all political parties to stall division of Andhra Pradesh and said he is ready to be the first signatory to a letter to the central government in this regard.
In his first public statement after his release from jail this week and his maiden reaction to Congress party's decision to carve out separate Telangana state, he said the central government should keep the state united if it is unable to do justice to all the regions.
He claimed that 60 percent of the state's population was on streets to protest the injustice.
He said the MPs and state legislators of the two parties were either refusing to resign or submitting their resignations for namesake. "If we fail to rise to the occasion and fight this conspiracy, history will not forgive us," he said.
The young leader suggested that presidents of all parties send a joint a letter through Samaikyandhra Joint Action Committee to the central government to demand it to keep the state united. "I am ready to put the first signature on the letter," he said.
