BJP finds fault with TRS

HYDERABAD: State BJP has found fault with the TRS president, K. Chandrasekhara Rao for holding out a threat of a ban on colleges run by non-Telangana managements in the region.

Addressing a press conference, State BJP spokesman, N. Ramachandra Rao, reminded the TRS leader that the State was not Kashmir where Article 371 was in vogue and that no State including those formed a few years ago had prescribed such a ban.

He said such threats would be counterproductive and affected the careers and interests of the students. BJP was in favour a separate Telangana that allowed free flow of people and ideas and not the one envisioned by Mr. Chandrasekhara Rao. “We do not subscribe to such narrow sons of the soil theories as it affects national unity.”

On Congress senior leaders meeting with AICC Sonia Gandhi, he said it was time for the Congress to end such “dramas” and start the process of formation of separate Telangana State.
