KTR blames Seemandhra lobby for 'RT' move

Telangana Rashtra Samithi MLA K Tarakarama Rao has blamed a lobby of Seemandhra leaders for instigating the Centre to moot the proposal of Rayala Telangana.

Speaking to media persons on the sidelines of a dharna staged at Gun Park here on Wednesday, Ktr said that it was a tragedy that the Centre was considering the demand from the leaders of two districts, while the people of 10 districts of Telangana have agitated and made several sacrifices seeking statehood for Telangana region. "There are some lobbying forces who are working actively for Rayala Telangana," he alleged.

Ktr made it clear that the TRS would not agree to the proposal of Rayala Telangana. He said that the TRS has already launched a series of agitations starting with rallies across the region on Wednesday. A Bandh Call has been given on Thursday and the TRS would also protest in Parliament and Assembly whenever the sessions begin. "Neither the people of Telangana, nor the people of Rayalaseema demanded "Rayala Telangana". It will be tragic if the Centre decides to bulldoze the people and it would have to pay the price for it," he said.

The TRS leader hoped that the Union Government would act wisely and take back the proposal.
