The book, Refuting an Agitation: 101 Lies and Dubious Arguments Telangana separatist, has drawn a flak with Nizamabad MP Madhu Yashki and other Telangana leaders who said it is just a bundle of lies.
The book released in Delhi by Sanjay Baru, former Advisor to Prime Minister, has stirred a hornet’s nest with integrationists lapping the book while the separatists crying foul. The book tries to expose what it calls lies of the separatists on various issues and was released at a time when things are reaching its crescendo.
Telangana MPs Madhu Yashki, Ponnam Prabhakar and others were quick to react saying it is a can of trash and need not be given much credence to. They alleged that Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy was behind the tour of Seemandhra leaders to Delhi and has been running the show from behind the scenes.
During 2009, at a time when Telangana issue was coming to a close, Seemandhra leaders resorted to en masse resignations and now they are up to other tricks but people will teach them a fitting lesson, they said. If AP NGOs try to play foul, the consequences will be dire, they said.
