Legislators from Andhra Pradesh opposed to a separate Telangana staged a protest here Wednesday against the government's decision to carve out the state.
The legislators and their supporters protested outside Andhra Pradesh Bhavan in central Delhi and then marched towards Rajghat - Mahatma Gandhi's memorial on the banks of the Yamuna river.
