Asked about the remarks of TRS chief K Chandrasekhar Rao, who has been spearheading the Telangana agitation, that the "Centre has betrayed us once again", Singhvi said, "On the one hand you have detailed deliberations; on the other casual, dismissive and petty comments."

Government has announced a seven-point terms of reference for the Telangana committee, saying the panel will consult all sections of people in Andhra Pradesh, especially political parties, on the demand of a separate state.

The ToR of the committee, which has been asked to submit its report by December 31 this year, has been slammed by the TRS as "mindless".
