KOLKATA: Even as the Communist Party of India (Marxist) reiterated that it stood for a united Andhra Pradesh, A. B. Bardhan, general secretary of the Communist Party of India said here on Friday that the process for creation of Telangana was "unstoppable."

"Telangana is inevitable. It will not be possible to stall that," Mr. Bardhan said on the sidelines of the 16th Party Congress of the All India Forward Bloc.Although, Prakash Karat, general secretary of the CPI (M) reaffirmed the party's stand "for a united Andhra Pradesh," Mr. Bardhan was confident that when the bill was introduced in the Andhra Pradesh Assembly, the CPI (M) would not  oppose it.

When asked about the different stance taken by the CPI (M), Mr. Bardhan said: "They are not going to oppose it in the Assembly. Of this I am sure."Mr. Bardhan was very critical of the way the Congress handled the Telangana agitation.

"It thinks the high command can take a mid-night decision," Mr. Bardhan said adding that they did not call for an all-party meeting or a consensus on the issue.

They did so without considering of "the fallout not only in Andhra Pradesh, but also here in West Bengal ," he added.
