Hyderabad, August01: Congress general secretary G Niranjan on Saturday said the verdict given by the Telangana people in the by-elections should be respected by all parties.
Talking to reporters at Gandhi Bhavan, he said, “It’s a people verdict in favour of Telangana and the voter’s sentiment should be respected. The Telangana sentiment is evident as the people have voted for those who resigned in favour of a separate Telangana state.”
He termed the comments of Telangana leaders on Pradesh Congress Committee president D Srinivas as `unwarranted’. He said the PCC Chief has obeyed the orders of High command and contested in the by-elections.
He said the Congress party contested in the by-elections to curtail the chances of TDP. The Congress lost in the by-polls due to divergent views expressed by the leaders on Telangana issue.
