Telangana Rashtra Samithi MLA K Tarakarama Rao on Sunday accused the Union Ministers from Seemandhra region of providing misleading information to the Group of Ministers (GoM) on Telangana.
Addressing a press conference here, KTR said that the Seemandhra Union Ministers have been conspiring to stall the process of Telangana formation and therefore, providing wrong information to the GoM. Disputing the claim that Rs 50,000 crore have been spent on Hyderabad, he asked the union ministers to furnish the break-up of amount spent on the State capital. He said that Hyderabad was already a metro city even before it became part of Andhra Pradesh. He said the Seemandhra leaders and not Hyderabad gained in united Andhra Pradesh.
KTR also slammed Telangana Congress leaders for lacking commitment on the statehood issue. Instead of countering the false propaganda against Telangana formation, the T-Congress leaders were busy lobbying for the post of Chief Minister after State's bifurcation. He said that instead of resorting to politics, the T-Congress leaders should concentrate on helping the families of martyrs who laid down their lives for the cause of separate Telangana.
