Telangana sentiment palpable: Congress leaders

HYDERABAD: Congress leaders have differed with the observations made by Roads & Buildings Minister T. Jeevan Reddy that Telangana sentiment is confined to only five districts in the region.

APSRTC Chairman M. Satyanayarana Rao and party MLC and member of the Telangana Regional Congress Coordination Committee member Palvai Goverdhan Reddy opined that the sentiment was strong in the entire region.

Mr. Satyanarayana Rao said that it was a fact that sentiment was strong in the entire Telangana belt and was quite visiblein Karimnagar during the by-elections.

Mr. Goverdhan Reddy in an informal chat with reporters here said that though the sentiment was very strong in five districts, the Congress party would face reverses in other Telangana districts because of the feeling among the people that the region had been neglected.

He said the demand for Second States Reorganisation Organisation (SRC) was a myth and those in favour of SRC were living in fool’s paradise.
