TRS Chief calls for boycott of ‘Rachchabanda’ programme

Hyderabad, January 23: TRS president K Chandrasekhar Rao today asked people to boycott the launch of Rachchabanda mass- contact programme as it was meant to dilute the pro-Telangana agitation.

“The ‘Rachabanda’ (village junction) programme is a cheap attempt to divert people’s attention from the ongoing Telangana agitation. I am calling for its boycott,” he said, addressing a function here.

Attacking the Congress MLAs and MPs for announcing that they would participate in the programme, he urged people to drive away the ruling party leaders who come to attend it.

“The Congress MLAs and MPs say that they will give PDS ration cards now. Where did your love for people go when 10,000 farmers committed suicides? Is it not because of your inefficiency…,” he said.
