Lagadapati has made his views clear about Telangana statehood recent and said he is against the division of the state. It is reported that Lagadapati is scheduled to meet the Chief Minister K Rosaiah and ask him to allow legislators to vote their views on the Telangana.
Meanwhile, bundh and protests have entered into the fourth day across coastal Andhra Pradesh. People in large numbers have come out their homes in Vijayawada protesting against the arrest of Lagadapati. Some key political leaders in Vijayawada region are believed to have been arrested.
Senior politicians in Vijayawada feel that Lagadapati would have allowed to air his views considering he has called for the protest to be held peacefully. However, leaders from Telangana feel that Lagadapati would have protested from his constituency and should not have chosen Hyderabad to be the location for his protest. Colleges in Eluru have been shut and students came to the streets raising slogans against his arrest. Students forced shopkeepers to shutdown in Bheemavaram...!!
