In his letter on Tuesday, Undavalli pointed out that the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Bill was passed in Parliament on February 18, 2014, without any meaningful discussion or a proper division of votes to gauge support or opposition. "You are well aware of how the State was bifurcated," he remarked in the letter.

Mentioning his decade-long legal battle in the Supreme Court, which began with a petition challenging the constitutional validity of the State bifurcation, Undavalli expressed frustration over the delay in filing counter by the Union government in response.
