Though Union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde is likely to formally announce the government decision to go ahead with the process of Telangana State creation on Thursday Aug 1,2013, Seemandhra Congress leaders, now here, have vowed to defeat the relevant Bill in Parliament

“We are strongly opposing the division of Andhra Pradesh and we will ensure that the Bill for creation of Telangana will never get passed come what may. We are sure that the CPI(M), the SP, the AIADMK, the Trinamool Congress and a few [other] like-minded parties will oppose the Bill. It will see the fate of the women’s reservation Bill, which could not be passed in the Lok Sabha though the Rajya Sabha approved it in 2013,” said an agitated Lok Sabha Congress member from coastal Andhra Pradesh.
