ANDRA PRADESH, INDIA, February 19, 2010: Supporters for a new Telangana state protested and burned an effigy of Kanchi Sankaracharya Jayendra Saraswati for his comments disfavoring the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh. However, when asked about the row triggered by his remarks, the seer told reporters, “There is nothing wrong in carving out a separate state if overwhelming public opinion is in favor of it.”
He claimed that the media had distorted his remarks. Sri Sri Jayendra Saraswati was reported as having said, “If Andhra Pradesh is split, it would be disastrous. Maoists will become stronger. There is no need to bifurcate the state where all people speak Telugu”.
