JAC to meet on Jan 20 to finalise 'T' strategy

Telangana Political Joint Action Committee Chairman Prof M Kodandaram on Friday stated that the JAC would convene a massive conference on January 20 to discuss the future course of action to achieve statehood for Telangana region.

Talking to media persons after emerging out of JAC meeting at the BJP's State office at Nampally, Kodandaram said that the JAC, in its meeting, would discuss on taking forward the agitation. Prior to the massive convention, he said that the JAC would convene a meeting with district JAC leaders before January 19.

Kodandaram alleged that the state government has violated all promises made during Sakala Janula Samme with the employees. Apart from violating the terms of agreements, he said that the government has been resorting to harassment of employees and using ACB as a tool to punish them.

Stating that a sub-committee has been appointed under the JAC to study the violations in the agreements, he said the JAC would submit the committee's report to the government seeking action on employees’ demands-- regularization of services, leaves, ACB raids and harassment of employees.

The TP-JAC said that the JAC would extend its total support to the BJP’s Telangana Poruyatra beginning from Mahbubnagar on January 19.

Telangana Gazetted Emoployees Association president Srinivas Goud alleged that the government has been following divide and rule policy with the Telangana employees on agreements done during the Sakala Janula Samme and filing fake cases against the JAC leaders. Condemning the harassment, he warned the government of serious consequences and demanded implementation of all agreements.

BJP Telangana Forum Chairman Rajeswara Rao sought the support of TP JAC for party’s Telangana Poruyatra from Mahbubnagar to Khammam beginning from January 19 to Feb 9.

TRS leader Nayane Narsimhareddy and BJP state president Kishen Reddy were also present in the meeting.
