Former APSRTC chairman and senior Congress leader Gone Prakash Rao, on Sunday, scoffed at Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) president K Chandrasekhar Rao's threat of launching a hunger strike after December 31st if needed.
Talking to media persons, Prakash Rao said that KCR was jittery over the formation of the Telangana Praja Front and was making such statements to keep himself in the limelight.
Prakash Rao also said that KCR's last 'fast-unto-death' was a 'show' for the Telangana students, since the TRS chief was consuming vitamins during that hunger strike.
The former MLA revealed that Chief Minister K Rosaiah, senior party leader K Keshava Rao and Union Minister S Jaipal Reddy had records of the vitamins consumed by KCR during the hunger strike, and said that he would meet Chief Minister K Rosaiah on his return from Delhi to urge him to make these records public.
Prakash Rao added that he would believe that there was an 'understanding' between the Chief Minister and the TRS chief regarding those records being made public. If Rosaiah did not make the records of the 'treatment' provided to KCR during his hunger strike, Prakash Rao said that he would quit the Congress party and take the issue before the people.
The former MLA further said that it was a wrong notion that the Centre had announced the Srikrishna Commission after KCR's hunger strike. He said that the Centre had taken the decision to constitute the Srikrishna Panel after being concerned over the suicides by Telangana students.
