The bill seeking the creation of a separate Telangana state was passed on 18th February in the Lok Sabha by a voice vote amid din in the house. However, the amendment to make Hyderabad capital of Telangana was defeated by voice vote in Lok Sabha.
Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde said Seemandhra will be given special package. The telecast of the Lok Sabha proceedings debating the Telangana bill were stopped on the request of speaker Meira Kumar, which was criticised by those opposing the Telangana bill.
Earlier in the day, Sushilkumar Shinde moved the bill to create a separate state of Telangana in the Lok Sabha. Soon after the house resumed its proceedings after the first adjournment in the morning, members opposing bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh, including some union ministers, came near the speaker's podium.
Members of other parties including the DMK, CPI-M and Samajwadi Party, also sought to raise their issues. Members supporting creation of a separate state of Telangana also moved near the podium.
