TRS will agree only for perfect Telangana: Etela

Telangana Rashtra Samithi floor leader Etela Rajender on Tuesday warned against any efforts to stall the Telangana State, which he said, is in the final stages of formation.

Addressing a press conference here, Etela said that the TRS would not accept anything less than a perfect Telangana with 10 district and Hyderabad as its capital. Further, he said no strings should be attached to Hyderabad, although the Seemandhra State could be allowed to use government offices to run their administration for a limited period. He said if the Centre puts any condition on Hyderabad, then the TRS would be forced to launch another agitation with the slogan "Congress Ko Khatam Karo, Telangana Haasil Karo (Finish Congress to achieve Telangana).

Describing Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy as the betrayer of Telangana, Etela said that by his actions Kiran Kumar Reddy has proved that he represents only Seemandhra region and not the entire State. He also alleged that the Chief Minister has sent a misleading and false report to the Group of Ministers (GoM) on the statehood issue to stop Telangana. He said such efforts were being made to protect the interest of few Seemandhra investors who have encroached upon the land and other resources of Telangana people.

The TRS leader further said that the Seemandhra employees, who are working in Hyderabad and other parts of Telangana in violation of the norms, should be repatriated to Seemandhra region. He also warned of severe protests if the Chief Minister holds Racha Banda or other programmes in the region. He said that Kiran Kumar Reddy had lost moral right to tour the Telangana region.
