He also stated that the irrigation projects in Rayalaseema would also be affected. YSR Friday tried to clarify his remarks saying he was only reiterating what TRS leader K. Chandrasekhara Rao had been saying. "TDP is an opportunist as it has joined hands with such a party," said YSR, whose Congress had an alliance with TRS in 2004 elections.

A delegation of BJP leaders, led by party State Spokesman N Ramachander Rao, submitted a memorandum to State Chief Electoral Officer I V Subba Rao and urged him to report to President Pratibha Patil on the speech and suggest his dismissal from the post immediately. The party also demanded registration of a criminal case against the Chief Minister.It took strong exception to the Chief Minister's reported view that if Telangana state was created, people of Rayalaseema and Andhra regions living in Hyderabad would ''become foreigners''.''This not only amounted to violation of the model code of conduct, but was also highly objectionable and provocative'' and aimed at creating animosity and hatred among the poeple living in different regions of the state,'' the leaders said. The BJP leaders, including its State Election Cell Convener M Laxman, wanted the CEO to restrain the Chief Minister from campaigning in the second phase of elections.
Even the minorities may fell insecure if the Telangana state is given with out consulting the leaders from minority community. Already AIMIM issued a statement against it. TRS is not sole guardian for Telangana. Other leaders from Telangana are contesting with different parties, so their party view is endorsed by these leaders.
These developments will give bonus votes to congress in Andhra and Seema region in second phase.
