Hyderabad, September 05: The Telangana Congress Steering Committee has asked the party leadership to complete the ongoing discussions being held by party’s State in-charge Ghulam Nabi Azad with Telangana and Seemandhra leaders by September 17, coinciding with the Hyderabad liberation day.
Steering committee co-chairman and MP K. Keshava Rao asked the party high command to announce a favourable decision on the separate Telangana issue before September 30 failing which the movement would be intensified. In an informal chat with reporters on Sunday, Dr. Rao expressed hope that the Centre would concede the demand for separate Telangana as an overwhelming number of people were supporting it.
He faulted Telangana Rashtra Samiti president K. Chandrasekhar Rao for doubting the sincerity of the Congress leaders claiming it would demoralise those struggling for separate Statehood to the region.
Decrying the abusive language used by the TRS chief, he said a majority of the leaders had quit their posts and were standing by their decision.
