TRS chief, KCR offered not to contest the upcoming by-polls to seats vacated by TRS MLAs if the central government announces the formation of separate statehood of Telangana. We will also give up the two Lok Sabha seats and ensure that the Congress wins all the 10 Assembly and two LS seats, KCR said in his inaugural address at a meeting of party leaders and supporters.

He was responding to a suggestion made by Karimnagar Congress MP, Ponnam Prabhakar that the party leadership would consider granting a Telangana state if TRS did not contest the byelections. “Let them accept my challenge if Ponnam is sincere in making the proposal,” he said.

The TRS chief said there was no question of the party giving up its agitation for a separate state and he would not hesitate to go on a fast until death once again if the situation so demanded.
