Amos suggests special packages for Anantapur, Kurnool

Congress MLC Kr Amos on Wednesday demanded that the Centre give special package for Anantanpur and Kurnool districts instead of merging them with Telangana.

Speaking to media persons here, Amos said that the people of Telangana have struggled for the last six decades seeking statehood for the region and not for Rayala Telangana. Therefore, he said it would be morally incorrect on the part of the Centre to accept the demand for Rayala Telangana. Stating that the Congress party would be badly hit in the Telangana region if it goes ahead with the proposal, he said that the Centre could consider giving special packages for Anantapur and Kurnool by merging with Seemandhra.
