Telugu Desam Party President N Chandrababu Naidu today condemned the attack on buses from Seemandhra region, which were bringing back united Andhra Pradesh supporters.
Addressing the public at Nuziveedu in Krishna district as part of his 'Atma Gaurava Yatra', Naidu termed the incident as a failure on part of the state government.
Last night, unidentified persons had hurled stones at some of the buses carrying pro-AP supporters returning after APNGO meeting, near Abdullapurmet and Hayatnagar on Hyderabad outskirts, damaging their windscreens.
Naidu also lashed out at the UPA government, alleging that the decision to bifurcate Andhra Pradesh was only to get "political advantage" ahead of next general elections.
The Congress had taken the decision only after the TDP won the majority of sarpanch and ward member seats in the recently held local body elections, Naidu claimed.
Alleging that it was taken without any commitment or sincerity, Naidu claimed the decision has led to utter confusion in the state.
He alleged that Congress was "solely responsible" for the present situation in the state.
Naidu said that though he had released a letter accepting the bifurcation of the state, he had also demanded justice for all regions of the state.
