Those opposing Telangana are traitors: KCR

Telangana Rashtra Samithi president K Chandrasekhar Rao reiterated that anyone who opposes Telangana would be treated as a betrayer.

Addressing a press conference here, Kcr said that the TRS was never against the people of Seemandhra region. However, a few political leaders from their region have been trying to stall the formation of Telangana State through several conspiracies. Therefore, he said those opposing Telangana would be treated as traitors.

Kcr reminded that TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu gave a letter in favour of Telangana formation. However, he took U-turn after the Centre announced its decision. Similarly, YSR Congress party president Jagan Mohan Reddy changed his stand on the statehood issue. Further, he said that even Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy has been openly speaking against Telangana. Therefore, he said all these leaders were open traitors of Telangana.

Kcr also opposed the YSRCP's plan to conduct a public meeting in Hyderabad in favour of Samaikhyandhra. He said how Jagan could hold a meeting in Hyderabad, a city which was referred to as Pakistan by his sister Sharmila.

The TRS chief also denied allegations that pro-Telangana leaders including him were making provocative statements. Instead, he alleged that Seemandhra ministers and other leaders have been trying to provoke and humiliated people of Telangana region.

Kcr demanded that the Centre immediately table Telangana Bill in the Parliament to end the ongoing crisis and war of words which were eventually affecting the common man.
