Telangana Political Joint Action Committee Chairman Prof M Kodandaram on Saturday called upon the people to make "Telangana March", to be organized on September 30, a grand success.
Talking to media persons at a preparatory meeting in Makthal, Kodandaram said that the Telangana March should be as successful as the Samakka-Sarakka Jatra, the largest tribal annual festival organized every year in Warangal district. He said that awareness camps and conferences would be conducted as part of run up to the "Telangana March" across the region from September 9-15.
Stating that the "Telangana March" would be severe this time, he called upon all people to hold a Telangana flag in their hand during the march and oppose the Seemandhra people’s rule. “This march will be final to achieve separate Telangana and Centre will be forced to announce a decision on the statehood issue,” he stated. Despite four crore people demanding statehood for the region, he criticised the Centre for delaying the issue in the name of consultations. He said that the Seemandhra investors, who are opposing the formation of state to protect their vested interests, would see the wrath of Telangana agitators this time in the agitation.
Kondandaram called upon all the parties to participate in the agitation by keeping aside their party agenda.
