Telangana Rashtra Samithi MLA T Harish Rao, on Saturday, said that the statehood agitation would continue till the formation of a separate Telangana state.
Addressing a Shanti Deeksha of Telangana doctors at Gandhi Hospital, Harish Rao said that the TRS is closely watching the developments on the statehood issue, and that it would react at an appropriate time.
He said that the final test of the Congress party's sincerity on Telangana would be judged when the Telangana Bill gets introduced in Parliament.
Harish Rao condemned Union Minister K Chiranjeevi's proposal on making Hyderabad a Union Territory. He said that any permanent change in the status of Hyderabad is not acceptable to the people of the Telangana region.
He sought to allay fears that Seemandhra people will not be safe in Hyderabad. He said that people from all regions could live peacefully and grow in the new Telangana state. He asked Chiranjeevi not to spread hatred with provocative and divisive statements. (INN)
