Telangana Education Minister G. Jagadish Reddy has alleged that the Andhra Pradesh Government has been intentionally creating an issue on conducting EAMCET.
He called on Governor E.S.L. Narasimhan here on Monday, his third meeting with the Governor on the issue during the past two weeks, and reiterated the position of Telangana Government on the issue. Speaking to reporters outside Raj Bhavan, Mr. Reddy said it was AP that was violating laws and had announced EAMCET schedule unilaterally without consulting Telangana.
Mr. Reddy stated that Telangana would announce the EAMCET schedule soon as it was Telangana’s right to conduct the exam even according to the provision of the AP Reorganisation Act.
However, the release of EAMCET schedule by Telangana is likely to take a few more days since Mr. Reddy is likely to visit Delhi on Tuesday and meet Union Human Resource Development Minister Smriti Irani on the row over EAMCET between Telangana and AP.

He explained that Telangana would conduct EAMCET to protect the interests of its students.
