Telangana is an election gimmick of Congress: BJP

August 03, 2013 21:24

Terming the creation of Telangana as an election gimmick by the Congress before the Lok Sabha polls, BJP spokesperson Menakshi Lekhi today said a State Reorganisation Committee should be set up to look into the justified and unjustified demands of statehood.

"What I can make out of Congress policies is that, before the creation of a new state, a lot of things are needed to be taken care of -- population, budget, funding, capital city.Nothing has been done so far. What I feel is that it is an election gimmick before the 2013-14 Lok Sabha polls," Lekhi told reporters.
