He mentioned that he wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to introduce the separate Rayalaseema resolution Bill in the Parliament. Letters were also sent to President Droupadi Murmu, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Andhra Pradesh Governor S Abdul Nazeer and Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, he added.
Further, Venkata Subba Reddy said that if the leaders of all political parties do not support the demand of a separate Rayalaseema, the people of the region will not hesitate to sacrifice their lives to achieve a separate State.
