dated March 14, 1953: Andhra figures in Madras Assembly

Speaking in the Madras Legislative Assembly on the 13th, the Chief Minister, Mr. C. Rajagopalachari, declared his firm conviction that the need of the hour in India was not priority for linguistic States or any other division of the country but national consolidation. The wish of the Indian people was that "there should be a National Government of all the people, acting with one mind, and speaking with one voice. That unfortunately seems not to be." During the course of his speech devoted to the formation of Andhra State and his opposition to having Madras as its capital even temporarily, the Chief Minister said that prominent Andhra politicians were pressing their demand for Madras. But not all others in Madras of Andhra origin were like that.
