BJP to hold dharna at Delhi on Telangana issue next month

BJP state president Kishan Reddy today said the party would be staging a dharna at Jantar Mantar in Delhi on September 3, 4 and 5 to bring pressure on the UPA government over separate Telangana state. In the meet-the-press programme, Mr Reddy said senior leaders like L K Advani and Sushma Swaraj would take part in the agitation. The political observers felt that Congress in the state was already reeling under pressure due to the strong demands being made by the opposition TDP over electricity and fee reimbursement issue. And the BJP taking on Centre, is not only going to exert extra pressure on the UPA but even the ruling Congress in the state, the observers added. UNI
