The Telangana Rashtra Samithi on Friday alleged that the Centre is playing with the lives of the people of Telangana.
Addressing a press conference, TRS MLA K Tarakarama Rao ridiculed Union Home Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad's statement that the planned
all-party meeting on Telangana was being convened as Sushil Kumar Shinde had recently assumed charge as the Union Home Minister.
He alleged that Azad's statement was a clear indication that the Centre was not serious about resolving the Telangana issue, and added that it exposes the party's vested interests.
The TRS MLA alleged that the Congress was favouring rich people from Seemandhra region while completely ignoring the hundreds of youth from the Telangana region who had committed suicide for the cause of statehood.
He said that Shinde must first learn about the history of the Congress' misdeeds before getting involved with the Telangana issue. (INN)
