Telugu Desam Party MLA Revanth Reddy on Saturday sought to know why the State was named "Andhra Pradesh" after its merger with Andhra.
He said if the basis of State formation was language, then like Tamil Nadu, it should have been named "Telugu Nadu".
He said the State was named after Andhra for psychological reasons and to suppress the people of Telangana.
Revanth expressed regret that Urdu was not made the official language after Hyderabad's merger with Indian Union.
He said while chanting the Telugu slogans, the Seemandhra people silently learned English and acquired top positions in the government.
Telangana people too would have been officers and not attenders, if Urdu would have been the official language of Hyderabad.
The TDP MLA said that when sacrifice by one Potti Sriramulu could lead to the formation of Andhra Pradesh, then why the suicide of over 1100 students and youth could not lead to formation of Telangana.
