Change in leadership will not resolve T issue: Jana Reddy

Minister for Panchayati Raj K Jana Reddy on Thursday stated that the main goal of Telangana leaders was the formation of separate Telangana state, the long-pending demand of people.

Talking to media persons, Jana Reddy said that the financial packages for development of backward districts and offering of posts to Telangana leaders would not resolve the injustice meted out Telangana people. “Justice can be done to Telangana people only through the formation of separate state,” he stated.

He hoped that the Congress high command would take a favourable decision on the bifurcation of state issue after the completion of Presidential elections. He said that the change in leadership would not resolve the Telangana statehood issue. “The change in leadership issue is nothing to do with Telangana state issue,” and the Centre has to take a final decision on carving out state from Andhra Pradesh.

The Congress leaders primary goal is fulfilling sentiments and aspirations of region people, he pointed out.
