War of words between TRS, Cong

The war of words between TRS and Congress continued for the second day after the Center has deferred the decision on Telangana.

While Government whip Jagga Reddy said that TRS president K Chandrasekhar Reddy has been agitating only to making his presence Kcr said Congress has no future in the State. He alleged that Kcr had once told him that smaller states could not develop fast. Kcr is known for his provocative statements and adopting attitude of confrontation, he said.

TRS MLA K Tarakarama Rao on the other hand criticised congress and called it a party that has no value for democratic principles. It has been encouraging dynasty rule, he said. "We have the right to criticize anyone who is against Telangana and even Nehru had sided with Andhra people during the merger," he said.

When we criticize Sonia, Congress leaders are raising a hue and cry but they are silent when Jagan Mohan Reddy criticizes her, he said. As the sentiment is strong, we are prepared to join hands with anyone who promises a separate state, he said.
