Mr. Srivardhan Reddy said that the Vimochana committee recently organized a Photo exhibition at New Delhi of martyrs and unsung heroes of Telangana struggle before 1948 when Telangana was liberated.The event was attended by G. Kishen Reddy and Delhi President Manoj Tiwari Not many people were aware of the tragedies that struck the Telangana Liberation movement. Jalianwalla Bagh was one incident of the massacre which is remembered till date and tributes are paid to martyrs every year. In Telangana several such Massacres were held they recalled but yet the Chief Minister chose to ignore the official celebrations.
Mr. Premender Reddy also alleged that the problems have begun for TRS as many leaders are leaving the Party and joining the BJP. Morning the leaders give an anti-party statement by evening the TRS leaders go to them and join hands and make them give other statements. However, this will not help as the countdown has begun for the TRS he added.
