Telangana Praja Front president and balladeer Gaddar, on Monday, created a flutter at the camp where Congress MPs from Telangana have launched a
hunger strike over the lifting of cases against students issue, when he said that he suspects leaders from the party of trying to suppress the separate statehood agitation.
The revolutionary, who arrived a few minutes after his former supporter
Vimalakka left the spot, said that the Congress slogan that it alone could fulfill the dream of a Telangana state may be right if put into practice. He cynically added with a smile that the Congress is also the only party which can pull the rug from under the separate statehood movement.
Gaddar said that he had usually been suspicious about the intentions of the Congress leaders from the region, and described the hunger strike as the first step by the MPs of redeeming themselves by sticking on to their demand till it is met.
He added that political will is needed to solve the Telangana state, and that it was time the Congress leaders made an all-out shove to get the dream of crores of people fulfilled.
He also criticized the government of creating a sense of uncertainty by deploying Central Paramilitary Forces.
Meanwhile, leaders from the various JACs pushing for a separate state expressed solidarity with the MPs' hunger strike. The JAC leaders also told the MPs that if the latter submitted their resignations over the issue, the former would be responsible for ensuring that the MPs would win the ensuing by-elections.
