Venkata Swamy ask YSR to expedite T-statehood


HYDERABAD : Even as the party high command rejected his plea for an emergency meeting of the Working Committee on Telangana, Congress MP G. Venkataswamy has demanded that Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy convince the party leadership to expedite a decision on separate Statehood.
He recalled that Dr. Reddy submitted a memorandum signed by 40 Congress legislators in favour of separate Telangana to Congress president Sonia Gandhi while he was the Opposition leader. “Dr. Reddy has initiated the process and he has to put an end to the game,” he said adding that he would take the matter to the people of the region.
Participating in a dharna organised by the joint action committee of Telangana Employees and Teachers Association here on Monday, he said the prevailing strong sentiment would adversely impact political parties including the Congress in the next general elections if they did not make their stand on Telangana clear. People were ready to make any sacrifice for the region and the sentiment could not be underestimated.
Balladeer Gadar demanded that the Congress announce its stand on Telangana at the earliest. Charging the Congress with provoking people to take to violent path, he said the Chief Minister was encouraging his Ministers to instigate people with their statements.
