India should be divided into 50 smaller states: Subramanyam Swamy

Hyderabad, Mar 1 : Janata Party President Dr Subramanyam today said India should be divided into 50 smaller states and the process should begin with the formation of Telangana.

Addressing Telangana advocates on the issue of separate state here, Dr Swamy demanded the Centre to declare Telangana immediately.

Assuring the Telangana lawyers that he would take up the fight on their behalf for achieving the Telangana state, Dr Swamy, also a former professor at the Harvard University, asked them to send him the details regarding the Telangana issue.

'If provide all the details, I will file a petition in High Court in the state on the fraud committed by the Centre on the issue of Telangana,' he assured them.

Dr Swamy squarely blamed Union Home Minister Chidambaram(from Tamil Nadu) for the Telangana fiasco. (UNI)
