TDP questions TRS claim

Special Correspondent

HYDERABAD: The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) has questioned the Telangana Rashtra Samithi's claim that it had the support of 29 political parties for the separate statehood for Telangana.

Addressing a press conference, the TDP leader, G. Sukhender Reddy, said if the claim made by the TRS president and the Union Minister, K. Chandrasekhara Rao, was true, separate Telangana should have got the support of over 500 MPs. In fact it should have been formed by this time.

He said Mr. Rao continued to deceive the people of Telangana by his statements. He might have met the AICC president, Sonia Gandhi, several times but he had failed to make her issue a firm statement favouring Telangana.

Seen in the context of the latest assertion of senior Congress leader, G. Venkataswamy that separate Telangana was possible only if TRS merged with Congress, it is clear that both the parties were not keen and taking people for a ride.
