As the general strike called by pro-united groups in non- Telangana regions entered the second day today, Jagan, who recently got bail in a corruption case, lashed out at the "unilateral manner" in which the Union Cabinet had decided on October 3 to carve out the state of Telangana.
"We will challenge the Centre's decision in the Supreme Court," he said, adding that there were "legal problems" with the proposed division.
When "there is so much happening in the state", and when the ordinance on convicted lawmakers can be revoked, why the Centre could not reverse, in the same way, the decision to divide Andhra Pradesh, he asked.
Jagan had earlier launched an indefinite fast against the bifurcation at the Chanchalguda Jail where he was lodged as an undertrial in a disproportionate assets case, but it was broken on the fifth day after he was hospitalised.
Meanwhile, the bandh against the bifurcation entered second day in coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema. Andhra Pradesh Non-Gazetted Officers (APNGOs) and other united-AP supporters have called for a 48-hour bandh, while YSRCP has called for a 72-hour shut-down in the non-Telangana regions.
