Hyderabad, July 10: Former Goa Chief Minister Luzinho Faleiro today said UPA-Left Presidential candidate Pratibha Patil would get maximum support from Andhra Pradesh as all the political parties in the state were committed to secularism.

Talking to newspersons at Gandhi Bhavan, the state Congress headquarters here, Mr Faleiro, who was the party in charge for the presidential election, expressed confidence that the Telangana Rastra Samithi (TRS), Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and MIM would support Ms Patil as these parties had belief and faith in democracy and secularism.

While praising Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy, he said the state government had initiated several welfare programmes for the benefit of the poor and farmers.

He said providing free power to the farmers in the state was a great move of the Government to help the farmers and increase the agricultural production.

Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee President K Keshava Rao said he had already appealed to TDP, TRS and MIM to extend their support to Ms Patil. He said no one could challenge the secular ideas of TDP and TRS.

He said he had already held discussions with MIM leaders and clarified their doubts on the statement made by Ms Patil on 'Burqa system'.
