Azad seeks proof of ‘injustice’ to T

Senior Telangana Congress leader and panchayat raj minister K Jana Reddy took the responsibility of submitting a report with evidence to Azad before his departure for New Delhi on Tuesday night. At meetings held separately with the MPs and MLAs at Gandhi Bhavan, the state Congress headquarters, the party’s emissary is learnt to have sought their opinions about the pros and cons if the party’s decision went in favour or against the demand for bifurcation.

The Telangana Congress MPs and MLAs reiterated that there was no alternative to formation of a separate Telangana to fulfil the aspirations of the people of the region. The Telangana Congress MPs have even refused to go along with their counterparts from Andhra and Rayalaseema to meet Azad.

Azad, who had received a representation from the Telangana Congress leaders on Monday, held group-wise meetings with ministers, MPs, MLAs and MLCs on the state’s bifurcation and party’s revitalisation. He assured
leaders of both the regions of taking their views to the party high command.

It is learnt that Jana Reddy warned the central leader of a “repeat” of the Kadapa byelection results in Telangana if the Congress failed to act before the local body elections.

“We are not asking for any new thing but only seeking fulfilment of a promise made by the party”, he told Azad. P Prabhakar, Madhu Yashki Goud, G Vivek, K Rajagopal Reddy and others asserted that it was a “now or never” situation for Telangana people and hoped that the Congress leadership would take a decision by June 1. “We have made it clear to Azad that we are least interested in positions like deputy chief minister or PCC president. We just want formation of separate Telangana state. We are going to Delhi on May 19 to meet senior leader Pranab Mukherjee. We are ready for any sacrifice for the cause of Telangana. We will lead the agitation against those who oppose the December 9 declaration,” they warned.
