Telangana Political Joint Action Committee leader Addanki Dayakar and Osmania University JAC leader Shashank joined the Congress party on Sunday.
Speaking to media personnel at Gandhi Bhavan, Dayakar said that he had joined the Congress to thank Sonia Gandhi for granting statehood to the Telangana region.
He said that Sonia Gandhi had turned the six-decades-old dream of Telangana into a reality. He said that it was the Congress party which had paid real tributes to the martyrs of Telangana.
Dayakar also welcomed Congress' announcement that an individual from the Backward Classes will be made the first Chief Minister of Telangana. Without naming KCR, he also said that the leader who had promised to merge with the Congress should not have backtracked.
Meanwhile, Shashank said that the TRS was trying to take credit for the formation of Telangana while, in reality, thousands of students had struggled for the cause. He also alleged that the TRS is in alliance with the communal forces. (INN)
