Cong betrayed people by false promise over Telangana: BJP
Bangalore, Sep 14 (UNI) The Congress in Andhra Pradesh has betrayed the people who were demanding separate Telangana state, BJP National Vice President Venkaiah Naidu said here today.
Briefing newspersons on the concluding session of the three-day meeting of the party's National Executive Meeting being held here, Mr Naidu said the Congress had made a tall promise on the demand for creating a separate state carving out from Andhra Pradesh before the 2004 general election only to deceive the people.
