The Cabinet has finally approved a Parliamentary Bill for the creation of a separate state of Telangana with 10 districts on Thursday night, despite the GoM's recommendation of Rayala Telangana with 12 districts. The Cabinet also approved Hyderabad as the common capital of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh for a period not exceeding a decade, said Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde.
According to latest reports coming in, the Centre has decided to stick to a 10-district Telangana rather than the Rayala Telangana state with 12 districts.
Even though the Group of Ministers (GoM) on Telangana has expressed its preference for Rayala Telangana in its report, sources say the Cabinet may still go with what the CWC cleared, which is Telangana with 10 districts. This is also the first sign that the Congress is feeling the heat after exit polls on Wednesday predicted a rout for the party on Dec 8 when results come in for the four states that went to polls recently.
