New Delhi: Holding the “short-sighted political approach” of Congress responsible for the present stalemate on Telangana, BJP today charged the ruling party lacks the conviction to create the new state and is working purely for electoral gains.

Underscoring BJP's support to formation of Telangana, BJP President Rajnath Singh said Congress has wasted nine years and yet failed to carve out the new state from Andhra Pradesh.

“From day one, they have adopted short-sighted political approach towards this emotive, sensitive and serious issue. Congress has treated this issue as its internal matter,” Singh said in a statement.

The BJP leader alleged government has not involved all stake-holders to evolve a broad agreement.

“Congress is responsible for the present chaos in the state. There is neither clarity nor unity in Congress party on the issue of Telangana,” Singh said.
