Kondandram rejects KCR's offer to attend all-party meet

Telangana Political Joint Action Committee chairman Prof M Kodandaram has declined the invitation of Telangana Rashtra Samithi president K Chandrasekhar Rao to represent TRS along with him at the all-party meeting on Telangana being held on December 28.

Talking to reporters after the JAC meeting, Prof Kodandaram said that the JAC members have decided that he should not represent the TRS as it might send wrong signals among the people. Being the chairman of JAC, the representative body of pro-Telangana parties and groups, he said he would spearhead the agitation in the region than attending the all-party meeting.

Prof Kodandaram said "Deekshas" would be organised at all mandal headquarters on December 26 to pressurise all political parties to speak in favour of Telangana State in the all-party meeting. A massive dharna will also be organised at Indira Park on December 27 while a mass protest is also being planned in New Delhi on December 28, he said.
