The RLD was in favour of smaller states, he declared.Earlier, Telangana Telugu Desam Forum (TTDF) leaders Ramesh Rathod and others called on Singh at a hotel where he was staying. The RLD chief, also a member of the Lok Sabha, assured the TTDF leaders that he would extend his support when a discussion came up on Telangana in Parliament.Later, the TTDF held a meeting and resolved to intensify the movement. It will meet again on July 30 to assess the political situation.TTDF convener E Dayakar Rao said that a massive dharna would be organised near Indira Park here on July 30 demanding introduction of Telangana Bill in the ensuing session of Parliament.
