Formation of smaller State not good for country: Deshmukh

Tirumala, Feb 2 (UNI) Maharastra Chief Minister M Vilasrao Deshmukh tonight said the constitution of smaller states was not good for the country.

After darshan of Lord Venkateswara swamy at the temple town here, he told reporters that formation of smaller states was the opinion of leaders alone and not of the public.

Mr Deshmukh was received by TTD officials at the temple.

He will participate in the morning rituals at Tirumala tomorrow before leaving to Maharastra.
