"I would contest the next assembly elections in 2014. The party will take the decision on the constituency which I should represent," said Balakrishna.
On reacting to the media's question on the statehood issue, Balayya said,"I would abide by the party's decision on Telangana".
There were already talks in the political circles that Balakrishna would contest the next elections from the Hindupur assembly segment, which is a safe bet for Telugu Desam Party. NTR was elected thrice from Hindupur and Harikrishna served as MLA once contesting from Hindupur.
