Be guided by Sardar Vallabhai Patel’s inspiration

Nellore, Aug 14, 2013: YSR Congress Party senior leader and Nellore MP Mekapati Rajamohana Reddy warned the Congress leadership that the country would be made into bits and pieces if the states were allowed to be divided for mere political considerations.

Participating in the APNGOs dharna at the District Collector’s office here on Tuesday, he said no one should forget the inspiration provided by the Iron Man of India Sardar Vallabhai Patel who succeeded in amalgamating more than 500 princely states in India.

The division issue has come to the fore only because of some politicos’ unemployment, he said, adding that the Congress decision has brought a feeling of insecurity to the people in the Seema Andhra area.
