KARIMNAGAR: TRS president and Karimnagar MP K. Chandrashekhar Rao has launched a scathing attack against Congress leaders for obstructing the participation of students in the TRS student wing meetings by threatening the college managements.

“We are peacefully conducting the meetings. You cannot suppress the movement with threatening. The Congress would be wiped out of the region and would not get deposits in the coming elections,” he remarked.

Peaceful path

Addressing a mammoth TRS student wing meeting in Ambedkar stadium in Karimnagar town on Saturday, Mr. Chandrashekhar Rao pointed out that “the TRS is a fire and if you touch it you will be reduced to ashes.” Calling upon the students to participate in the Telangana Statehood movement during their spare time, he however cautioned them against taking to violence and asked them to adopt a peaceful path for achieving Telangana in a diplomatic manner.

“The Telangana statehood would be a reality only through political strategy”, he maintained. Flaying the State government for talking about the development of Telangana region, he said that the development of Telangana was the civil right and formation of separate State was its birth right.

He launched a scathing attack against the State government for completing the Yogi Vemana University and Rajiv Institute of Medical Sciences of Kadapa district on a priority basis neglecting the Telangana and NIMS universities of the region. “Is this the development of Telangana region?” He demanded that the Congress Ministers take measures to complete Telangana and NIMS universities and show their sincerity.

Share of water

Expressing concern over the neglect of Telangana region on all fields, he said the government would not disclose our share of water in Krishna and Godavari rivers and it would not provide us employment by implementing the GO 610. “We are left with boggubai (coal mine), Dubai and Mumbai for employment of local youth,” he said.

Social justice

He said that the separate Telangana Statehood movement was launched only to stop immigration of labour, stop suicides by the farmers and weavers. He said that in a separate Telangana State they would provide social justice to all sections of the society. TRS district president Etala Rajender, MP Vinod Kumar and others were also present.
