A delegation of YSR Congress leaders led by its honorary president, Y.S. Vijayamma, called on President Pranab Mukherjee and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in Delhi on Tuesday and urged the Centre not to go ahead with the division of the State until the people of both the regions were satisfied that no injustice would be done to them.

In a memorandum to the Prime Minister, Ms. Vijayamma described the situation in Andhra Pradesh as volatile and said the State was completely paralysed because of the ongoing agitation against the “arbitrary and irrational decision taken by the CWC”. 

The memorandum said that Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Area has emerged not only as the political capital of AP but also as a super economic power house accounting for 70 % of the manufacturing GDP of the State and 95%of the software activity, besides housing almost all the institutions of higher learning

YSR Congress honorary president Y.S. Vijayamma on Wednesday Aug 28,2013 questioned how the city of Hyderabad could be given to Telangana when people from all the three regions in the State contributed to its development. 

Ms. Vijayamma, who sat on a dharna at Janta Mantar in Delhi along with several party leaders seeking equal justice to all regions in the State, said her husband and former Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy wanted Andhra Pradesh to remain united
