The RSS on Monday said reorganising Andhra Pradesh into two separate states was in line with its thinking.
“The RSS has always held that creating a few more states for better development and convenience of administration, without affecting national unity and without creating bad blood between people, is always welcome,” Sangh Central Executive member Ram Madhav said in a statement here.
Mr. Madhav was clarifying RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat’s remarks on Telangana in Allahabad on Sunday.
The statement said Mr. Bhagwat had not intended to say that the organisation was against creation of a separate Telangana state.
He said Mr. Bhagwat had only commented on the “flip-flops” of the Centre on Telangana that had led to “unnecessary tensions and violence” in Andhra Pradesh in the last couple of weeks.
