Protests have begun in Andhra Pradesh against the Centre's plan to redraw boundaries of the proposed Telangana state to make it larger than originally planned.

Telangana Rashtra Samithi's K Chandrasekhara Rao has called for a total bandh in the state.

A group of ministers, looking into the bifurcation of Telangana, recommended after a meeting last night that two districts of Rayalaseema -- Kurnool and Anantpur -- be added to the 10 Telangana districts to create what could become 'Rayala Telangana.'
