DCC reacts to his allegations against MSR

KARIMNAGAR: The District Congress Committee leaders have launched a scathing attack on the Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) president K. Chandrashekara Rao for making "false allegations against Congress and Minister for Sports M. Satyanarayana Rao during the TRS Sankaravam meeting in Siddipet".

Addressing a press conference here on Sunday, DCC president T. Santosh Kumar alleged that the TRS president had deceived the people of Telangana in general and Karimnagar Parliament constituency in particular over the formation of separate Telangana state. "It was the TRS which had set deadlines on Telangana. The Congress did not set any deadlines and we left the matter to AICC president Sonia Gandhi," he maintained.

Bandh criticised

Flaying the TRS leaders for making provocative statements and instructing their cadres to grill the Congress leaders on Telangana, he feared attacks on the Congress rank and file. He also flayed the TRS leaders for forcing educational institutions to observe bandh on September 8 during the TRS meeting.

With regard to Mr. Chandrashekara Rao's claim that the Minister for Sports had won because of Telangana wave, he reminded that the TRS had fielded its own candidate K. Mruthyunjayam against the official Congress candidate from Karimnagar Assembly segment. He said that the Minister had won on his own with the Congress support. He criticised the TRS president for failing to fulfil his election promises in the district and alleged that he had come out of the power and was organising meetings only to regain his party's lost glory. ZP Chairman A. Mohan, Mayor D. Shankar and others were also present.
