President Pranab Mukherjee is believed to have sent back a bill for the creation of Telengana to the Home Ministry.
However it is not know what the President said while forwarding the bill back to the Home Ministry.

Telangana protagonists believe that the President sending the bill back to the government implies that it would go to the Andhra Pradesh assembly for considering it before it either adopts or rejects it.

Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde on Wednesday said that the legislation has been sent to the President through the Prime Minister and after that it would be sent to the state assembly.
