"When we are Opposition, we collected signatures of 41 leaders in support of the Telangana statehood. It was late YSR who encouraged us to do so. But the political scenario has changed completely now,'" he said.
The minister, who made it clear to the Sri Krishna Committee that Hyd should be made Union Territory, now says that he is unsure of to which region Hyderabad belongs to. "I'm a Hyderabad minister. I was born and brought up here. To which region Hyderabad belongs to is not yet decided. I'm not sure whether Hyderabad will be there in Telangana or not. It's up to the High Command to decide that," said Danam.
Danam reiterated that only the Congress government and Sonia Gandhi can take a decision on the Telangana issue. "It's a known fact that the dream of statehood can't come true with the regional parties. So, strengthening the leadership of Sonia Gandhi will benefit the people of the state," he told.
