Jagan on Telangana: Dark day in history of democracy

Hyderabad: YSRC leader Jagan Mohan Reddy said Tuesday was a black day in the history of democracy and has called for a bandh on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, in a hit to the ruling Congress in Coastal Andhra, state Infrastructure and Investment Minister Ganta Srinivasa Rao today quit his post and the party in protest against the Centre going ahead with state's division.

"The decision (regarding division) was taken against people's wishes and Delhi elders are trying to get the Bill passed. A national policy or procedure like appointing state's reorganisation commission, judicial commission or assembly resolution should have been followed for division. None of these is followed," he said.
