Central govt may declare Hyderabad as UT after June 2: KTR
For the past couple of weeks, opposition leaders from BRS have been warning of a ploy to make Hyderabad a union territory or a common capital for both the states, as the term for the city to be the common capital as per the AP Reorganisation Act would expire on June 2, when Telangana formation would have completed ten years.
Incidentally, Lakshminarayana extended his support to the candidature of BRS candidate Rakesh Reddy for Warangal-Nalgonda-Khammam Graduate MLC constituency, for which the by-election is going to be held on May 27.
