Former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Kiran Reddy today approached the Supreme Court against the Centre's decision to create Telangana by bifurcating the State.
A bench headed by Chief Justice P Sathasivam, before whom the matter was mentioned, agreed to list his plea along with other petitions which will be taken up tomorrow for hearing.
A batch of petitions is listed for hearing tomorrow against the bifurcation of the State.
Mr Reddy, a strong advocate of 'united' Andhra Pradesh, had, besides stepping down from the chief minister's post, relinquished the membership of the state assembly and the Congress party in protest against the passage of the Telangana bill in the Lok Sabha on February 18. He had warned that the bifurcation plan did not portend well for the country, and the party.
