TRS MLA T Harish Rao on Thursday categorically stated that people of the Telangana region would never accept Rayala Telangana under any circumstances.
Addressing a dharna here, Harish Rao said that there is "absolute clarity" in the TRS' demand for a Telangana with 10 districts, and Hyderabad as its capital.
However, he said that the Congress-led UPA government has modified the plan by deciding to form Rayala Telangana, by adding 2 districts from the Rayalaseema region.
He said that the move was aimed at benefitting some "factionists" who were involved in land encroachments in Hyderabad.
Further, the Rayala Telangana is being formed to take away Telangana's share of water in Krishna River to Rayalaseema region, he alleged.
Harish Rao said that TRS would continue its agitation till it achieves "Sampoorna Telangana".
He demanded that the Centre table the Telangana Bill in the ongoing winter session of the Parliament, and that the new state should not have "any strings attached". (INN)
