HYDERABAD: Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) president K. Chandrasekhar Rao has expressed apprehensions that rival parties, mainly Congress, might impress their leadership with claims that the Telangana slogan has died down, after winning the coming byelections over candidates who resigned their membership of Assembly.
Addressing a meeting to mark the admission of some political activists from Serilingampally into TRS, Mr. Rao said here on Sunday that all those who wanted to contest the elections without making any sacrifice for separate Telangana lacked moral values. Why should they contest against leaders who have resigned?, he asked.
Mr. Rao also criticised Telugu Desam Party as a treacherous party which deserved to be shown the door. The TDP president N. Chandrababu Naidu got his party MLAs from coastal districts resign after the Centre announced on December 9 that it was initiating the process of forming Telangana. He advised leaders from Telangana not to remain with TDP.
Referring to the problems of locals in buying land in Hyderabad, Mr. Rao said that land had become scarce after people from coastal districts formed housing cooperative societies and purchased huge chunks. The locals were displaced by outsiders. The rulers from coastal districts did not spare any section of people in Telangana from exploitation.
