Telangana Rashtra Samithi MLA K Tarakarama Rao announced that party president K Chandrasekhar Rao will go an indefinite fast demanding statehood for the region.
However, the time and date for the proposed fast would be decided later.
Talking to reporters at Suryapet on Wednesday, Tarakarama Rao said that KCR had discussed his proposed fast with TRS leaders. However, before taking a final decision, the proposal will be discussed with the Telangana Political Joint Action Committee in its next meeting.
Claiming that the Sakala Janula Samme, the ongoing general strike, has been successful in mounting pressure on the centre, KTR accused Congress leaders of having failed to make the Centre announce a favourable decision on Telangana.
He said that the Congress did not participate in the general strike actively and that, in fact, some of its leaders had tried to sabotage the agitation.
The Sircilla MP said that Congress ministers, MPs and MLAs have together failed to mount pressure on the Congress-led UPA government, and that they have become a major obstacle in the formation of a Telangana state.
He demanded that elected representatives of the Congress party resign to mount pressure on the Centre.
Regarding KCR's proposed indefinite fast, KTR hoped that like the one in December 2009, the fast would force the Centre to make an early and favourable announcement on Telangana. (INN)
i heard from authentic sources that Mr. KCR took Rs. 400 crores from the Congress during the Million Vagabond March (in which Tank Bund status were destroyed). Surprised? Yes - apparently he had asked for 1,000 crores.

KCR knows very well that he'll be put in NIMS and force-fed by day 5 anyway. So much for his fast.
The poor man has trapped himself for this lifetime - he can never give up the Telangana agitation even if he doesn't care anymore and just wants to enjoy his wealth and life, or even if the government some day makes it clear that there will not be any Telangana. He will instantly become a traitor.
