Hyderabad, January 19: For a change, TRS chief K Chandrasekhar Rao has turned a reel hero.
He played a brief role of a Telangana leader in the film ‘Jail Bolo Telangana’ being directed by Shankar.
He was filmed garlanding the statue of Telangana Talli at Telangana Bhavan and addressing a public meeting. The film shoot, in fact, took away the sting out of the TRS state executive meeting which was held to hammer out the future course of action for taking the Telangana movement forward.
The meeting could not come to a decision on whether it should send a delegation to Delhi for the all-party meet later this month by Union Home Minister P Chidambaram to elicit views on the Srikrishna Committee’s report. “Let the invitation come first. Then we will decide,” was all TRS spokesman K Vijayarama Rao said after the executive meeting. The TRS, the TDP and the BJP had skipped the earlier all-party meet to release the copies of the Srikrishna report. The TRS will attend the meeting this time if there are clear signals that the Centre will deliver Telangana.
The other two parties have already announced that they are skipping the meet.
The TRS chief is understood to have made it clear at the state executive that he was prepared to quit his Lok Sabha seat and felt that resignations alone would bring pressure on the Centre to deliver Telangana.
The executive appealed to people to take part in big numbers in the relay hunger strikes to be organised in villages from Jan 21. The party would organise a students’ convention on Jan 22 in Hyderabad.
The Telangana Students JAC would begin its 10-day bus yatra of 14 Lok Sabha constituencies in the Telangana region on Jan 29 to prepare people for the non-cooperation movement to be launched by the party.
