New Delhi, Nov 23,
2013: YSR Congress President Sri Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy on Saturday met the

During his meeting with
the President, he submitted a 5-page letter to him seeking his intervention to
stop the undemocratic, unilateral and arbitrary bifurcation of the state.

Later, Sri Jagan

suitable steps to prevent the illegal bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh which has

“Pranab Mukherjee
responded to our appeal favorably,” he said.

Later, the YSRCP
delegation also called on Janata Dal-U president Sharad Yadav and sought his
support to keep AP united.

“We never supported
formation of Telangana state. How can they bifurcate the state without a resolution
