Hyderabad, October 08: Balladeer Gadar who is launching Telangana Praja Front (TPF) on Saturday said that his outfit is radically different from a political party as its objective would be to bring pressure on people’s representatives in Parliament to ensure introduction of bill for formation of a separate Telanana state.
The manifesto of the new front would be announced after the delegates’ meeting, Gadar told mediapersons here today.
He said he was ready to receive suggestions from any quarter which would help the objective of the front. The front would also oppose celebration of November 1 as AP formation day. “We will consider it as Telangana betrayal day,” he said.
Earlier in the day, Chiranjeevi fans from Telangana districts approached Gadar but the balladeer said he would talk to their leader only if he makes a categorical statement on formation of Telangana. The PRP, which had lost heavily in Telangana in 2009 general elections, did a volte face on its Samajika Telangana agenda which further distanced it from the people of the region.
Though Chiranjeevi is championing the cause of Samaikya Andhra, he is planning to visit Telangana region shortly and to make things easy for him, efforts are on now to explore the possibility of working with Gadar so that PRP could find some political space in the region.
The formation of a new outfit by Gadar assumed significance as it is being projected as an alternative to TRS, which hitherto dominated Telangana politics. Congress and TDP leaders from Telangana have welcomed the formation of the front.
