Ponguleti slams KCR for delay in Telangana formation

AICC General Secretary and MLC Ponguleti Sudhakar on Saturday condemned Telangana Rashtra Samithi president K Chandrasekhar Rao’s statement that he would continue the statehood agitation for another 11 years.

Talking to media persons at Congress Legislature Party office, he attributed the delay in formation of Telangana State to KCR's style of functioning. He alleged that KCR has misused the statehood agitation for his personal gains and to get political posts for his family members. If he has any commitment towards Telangana State and wants to prevent suicides in the region, he said that KCR should support the agitation of Telangana Congress MPs in New Delhi.

Asking KCR to stop the blame game and targeting of leaders, he appealed to KCR to take forward the agitation by sinking all differences by collectively under one common platform.

Ponguleti slammed the BJP for targeting Gandhi family despite the court giving clean chit in the Bofors scandal. He asked the BJP, which always targets Congress party on corruption issue, to explain to the people about conviction of BJP senior leader Bangaru Laxman in fake arms deal case by a Delhi court.
