"We firmly believe that justice should be done to all regions and the Centre has failed to take stock of the situation and the consequences arising out of the division," a party release quoted spokesperson Jupudi Prabhakar as saying.
Maintaining that the state lacked a strong leader after late Y S Rajasekhara Reddy, he alleged that the deficit is perceptible.
The state leaders could not put forth the complete picture of all regions and argue the case, while the TDP leader (N Chandrababu Naidu) has shown raw opportunism on the issue, he claimed.
"We are clear on our stand. We wanted the Centre to play the role of the head of a family and sort out the issue amicably. But it has failed in its duty and has not been impartial. We condemn this deed of the Congress and we are not against separation," Prabhakar said.
