TRS describes Vijayamma's Deeksha as political drama

Telangana Rashtra Samithi deputy floor leader T Harish Rao on Tuesday came down heavily on YSRCP honorary president Y S Vijayamma for not pressing any demand for the cause of weavers in her Maha Deeksha at Sircilla in Karimnagar district on Monday.

Talking to media persons at Assembly premises, Harish Rao said that the one-hour Deeksha has exposed the commitment of Vijayamma towards the weavers’ issue. He accused Vijayamma of observing the Maha Deeksha only to draw political mileage. He said one day Deeksha was not sufficient to address a problem which has been pending for a very long time.

Harish Rao condemned the YSRCP leaders and the police for resorting to lathicharge and attack on women and students in the name of Deeksha. He expressed regrets for Vijayamma not responding on the police lathicharge on women and Telangana activists in her deeksha. He demanded that the State Government order probe into the violence in Sircilla incident and take serious action against the guilty.

The TRS leader reiterated that the Telangana leaders would obstruct the political visit of leaders until they make their stand clear on the Telangana statehood issue.
