Hyderabad, January 01: Ahead of the meeting of eight recognised political parties convened by the Centre to discuss the Srikrishna Committee report and the way forward, TRS tonight said anything short of statehood for Telangana will not be acceptable to it.
“We make it abundantly clear to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh that we will not accept anything short of Telangana (statehood),” TRS president K Chandrasekhar Rao said at a meeting of Telangana Gazetted and Non-Gazetted Officers associations here.
Hoping that the Centre would not come up with any proposal that is short of statehood for Telangana, he said such proposals would be insulting to the region and the party would not hesitate to walk out of the meeting if it felt the need to do so.
