TRS’ show of strength in South-T

NALGONDA: Buoyed up with the success of Telangana Rashtra Samiti Vidyarthi (TRSV) meetings at Nalgonda, Bhongir and Suryapet early this month, the TRS is now leaving no stone unturned to make Thursday’s public meeting at the NG College grounds a resounding success.

Senior leaders of the party, camping in the district for the past four days, are making allout efforts to mobilise people from all the 12 assembly constituencies in the district.

They hope to gather some 2 lakh people for the meet. This is also being seen as TRS show of strength, particularly in the wake of the huge success of the Telugu Desam Party’s BC Garjana at Warangal.

The Nalgonda public meeting, the party leadership hopes, will disprove the criticism that the TRS is a North Telangana phenomenon.

Of the 12 assembly constituencies in the district, Congress has six, the CPI and the CPM two each and the Telugu Desam and the TRS one each. Significantly, the Congress, TRS, CPI and the CPM fought together during the last elections.

The meeting has also assumed significance as the resignation letters of party MLAs, MPs and MLCs, including that of party chief K Chandrasekhara Rao, will be publicly handed over to party ideologue Prof K Jayasankar. The resignations are meant to pressurise the Government to speed up the process of carving out a Telangana state.
