The TDP Telangana Ranabheri, being held to demand the introduction of a Bill in Parliament for a separate Telangana state, is on in Tandur in Andhra Pradesh. The event was marked by high drama, which is on even at the time of writing this article.
Some Telangana students have climbed on top of a tank at the Ranabheri venue, threatening to jump if Telangana TDP ministers do not resign. In a letter dropped down from the tank, these students demand that every TDP minister from Telangana resign from his post immediately, failing which they would kill themselves.
Earlier in the day, TDP leaders on their way to the Ranabheri found their vehicles attacked and gheraoed by TRS activists. In Vikarabad and Tandur, the police had to intervene with lathi charges, and took some agitators into custory.
TDP Telangana leaders Errabelli Dayakar and Devender Goud had already warned TRS activists against disturbing the Ranabheri, after having gone through
a harrowing first time, but the TRS seems to have gone ahead with its plans any way.
