Movement for separate Telangana to be long-term agenda

NTPP for resolving local issues at regional level
‘State trying to divert Krishna water to Rayalaseema’

Sangareddy: Nava Telangana Praja Party (NTPP) would build the party and the movement for separate statehood simultaneously from the grassroots. Party president T. Devender Goud and general secretary E. Peddi Reddy announced this at the Praja Telangana Sadhana Sadassu here on Saturday.

NTPP would fight to resolve local issues at the regional level keeping the issue of Telangana state as a long-term goal. Calling upon the party workers of Medak district to shrug off the passivity born out of years of exploitation by the ruling parties, they pointed out that the district has been robbed of its water and land with industrial pollution. They alleged that the Congress government in the State which has sold major chunks of land in Rangareddy district is hell bent on selling whatever is left in neighbouring districts of Medak, Nalgonda and Mahbubnagar too. Attributing the delay in the completion of Phase III of Krishna water to twin cities, they alleged that the government has a plan to divert Krishna waters to Rayalaseema by assuring Godavari waters from Yellampalli. He urged the voters of the region not to vote for either of the two parties that stand for unified State, but to elect someone who would carve out the state of Telangana.

Earlier the NTPP Medak unit organised a huge rally from the Ambedkar statue to the Balaji Gardens where the meeting was held.
