KCR misleading people: TDP

By Our Special Correspondent

HYDERABAD, SEPT. 8. Three Telugu Desam leaders, N. Janardhana Reddy, M. Narasimhulu and B. Swamynatham, on Wednesday taunted the Telangana Rashtra Samithi president and Union Minister, K. Chandrasekhar Rao, to spell out his stand on separate Telangana, now that the Prime

Minister's Office has given a clarification on the issue.

Addressing a press conference, they wondered if Mr. Rao would continue to compare the AICC president, Sonia Gandhi, to a goddess and praise the Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh. "It is once again clear that Mr. Rao had lied about the Centre's stand and misled people by claiming that a resolution will be passed by Union Cabinet."

People have lost faith in him and the TRS, going by the way he had been deceiving them, they alleged. Not just Telangana, even on other issues like free power, disconnection of power to farmers, getting jobs for youth and GO 610, Mr. Rao took people for a ride.

`Poll prospects bright'

Referring to the way the TRS was making two Union Ministers and six State Ministers to stay put in Siddipet Assembly segment, for the ensuing byelections there, they said it shows how panicky it was.

"It is a sign of weakness," they said while dismissing as insignificant, the joining of Telugu Desam leaders in TRS.
