TTDPF to support Rail Roko: Nagam

Telangana Telugu Desam Forum convenor Nagam Janardhan Reddy on Monday stated that the Forum would extend full cooperation to the Rail Roko agitation called by the Telangana Political Joint Action Committee on March 1.

Talking to media persons at Assembly Media Point, the TTDPF convenor said the proceedings in the Assembly would be stalled until the state government introduces a resolution on Telangana state formation in the House.

Mr Janardhan Reddy also accused the state government of not responding properly to the Telangana state issue.

He said that despite 4 lakh employees participating in the noncooperation agitation and stalling the administration, Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy was stating everything was fine and the state people are satisfied with the development programmes.

These statements belie the fact that the Chief Minister has not addressed the most contentious issue it faces, that of the separate Telangana statehood demand, the senior TDP leader state. In this context, the Chief Minister’s statements were contrary to reality, he alleged.

When asked, Mr Janardhan Reddy said that the T TDP Forum would take a decision on whether to boycott the Assembly sessions on the lines of Telangana Congress and Telangana Rashtra Samithi MLAs, after discussing this on Monday.
