Telangana Rashtra Samithi president K Chandrasekhar Rao on Monday claimed that a separate Telangana will be a reality soon.
Speaking as Chief Guest in the "Dhoom Dham" program organised by the Progressive Organisation Of Women (POW) in New Delhi, the TRS chief said that the Telangana agitation is in the "final phase", and that the Centre has no option other than granting statehood for the region. He predicted that the Centre would announce its decision on Telangana anytime.
Claiming that a majority of people in Seemandhra are in favour of the state's bifurcation, KCR said that the Centre has been delaying the decision under the influence of certain Seemandhra leaders.
However, he said, Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh and Congress president Sonia Gandhi must take a favourable decision, failing which the Congress would be wiped out from the region in the next elections.
The TRS chief demanded that the Centre introduce a Telangana Bill in the ongoing winter session of the Parliament. He said that people in Telangana are ready to sacrifice anything, including their lives, for statehood.
KCR announced that social justice would be implemented in true spirit in a Telangana state, with all sections of the society being given proper representation in the government and other walks of life.
The TRS president praised the POW for organising the "Dhoom Dham" program, stating that such events in the national capital would mount pressure on the Centre. Medak MP Vijayashanti also attended the event. (INN)
