New Delhi: BJP, CPI and All India Majlise-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) have agreed on a proposal for Hyderabad functioning as an interim capital for a reasonable time after bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh, but opposed any move to make it a joint capital for a prolonged period.
The three parties today conveyed this here to the Group of Ministers looking into the process of bifurcation of the state.
“We do not believe in joint and common capital. Hyderabad Mandal comprising of assembly and secretariat should be made the interim working capital for a reasonable time,” AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi, who is MP from Hyderabad, said.
He stressed that nowhere in the world there is a capital for one country in another. “How can you have a capital of a state, which is 180 kilometers away in another state? This is not possible,” he told reporters.
