The BJP Tuesday slammed the government for messing up the creation of Telangana.
"The government has mishandled and messed up the issue," BJP leader M. Venkaiah Naidu said.
"The Congress is behaving irresponsibly, in an immature manner, arousing regional feelings. Congress leaders in Telangana are distributing sweets, and those in Seemandhra are protesting," he said.
"They are also telling people in Seemandhra that they were forced to create Telangana by BJP and TDP, and in Rayalseem region they are telling people that TRS will be merged with Congress," he added.
He said he could not believe this was the same Congress party that fought for India's independence.
