Hyderabad, November 17: Preparing its gunpowder for the Dec. 9 anniversary of P Chidambaram separate Telangana statement, the TRS leadership today decided to organise a ‘Telangana Maha Garjana’ on the day in Warangal.
The move is a bid to build pressure on the Congress-led UPA government and show the TDP in a poor light on the Telangana statehood issue.
The TRS is hoping to mobilise about 25 lakh people for the meeting. The venue of the Maha Garjana will be named after Srikanta Chary, a TRS activist who committed suicide for Telangana last year.
In the run-up to that show of strength and raise funds for it, the party called upon its cadres to take up a `Kuli Pani’ programme on Nov. 24 and 25. Party leaders and activists including TRS chief K Chandrasekhar Rao will take part in the programme. These pre-Dec. 9 activities were finalised by the TRS state executive which met at Telangana Bhavan on Tuesday with TRS chief K Chandrasekhar Rao presiding.
Reviewing the outcome of the recent ‘Palle Bata’ programme, Chandrasekhar Rao asked the party’s constituency in-charges to submit a detailed report on it within two days. He advised party leaders to take up their own campaigns to strengthen the party in all 119 Assembly constituencies in Telangana.
In the hour-long meeting, the TRS executive passed six resolutions on key issues. The party demanded gas allocation for the Nedunoor power project and a written exam for recruitment of SIs in the state only after finalising the Hyderabad free zone issue.
The party also demanded that the state government should resolve the beedi workers’ demands by holding discussions with their unions.
The party also warned against any move to introduce a ‘jumbling’ system in practicals while contending that it would seriously affect the prospects of Telangana students.
The party also demanded that the Singareni Colliries management should regularise the jobs of all contract labourers working in opencast mines.
