TDP will cease to exist: KCR

HYDERABAD: Telangana Rashtra Samithi president K Chandrasekhar Rao has warned TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu that the TDP would cease to exist in the region if the party did not change its stand on separate statehood.


Speaking to party workers here today after admitting TDP workers from Adilabad district into his party, KCR demanded that the TDP should submit a memorandum to the Srikrishna Committee in favour of Telangana. Otherwise, Naidu should forget about the TDP in the region, the TRS chief said.

Referring to Naidu's comments earlier in the day that KCR raked up the Tagitation only because he was not given a berth in Chandrababu Naidu's cabinet during 19992004, the TRS chief said he had worked hard in the TDP and did become a minister during Naidu's earlier term. That ministry was not a gift or alms from Naidu, he said.

Naidu also said that he groomed Rao in the TDP. Reacting to this, Rao said he was in the TDP well before Naidu entered the party. "You cannot spend time accusing the TRS. You should make your stand clear before Srikrishna Committee," Rao advised TDP leaders.

On Congress MLA J C Diwakar Reddy's objections to celebrating Telangana Liberation Day, Rao recalled that Karnataka was celebrating Liberation Day in a grand manner. Diwakar Reddy should understand this, Rao said. TRS chief demanded that Congress leaders should prevail upon chief minister K Rosaiah and see that T Liberation Day was celebrated officially.

Chandrasekhar Rao said the KagaznagarBhupalpally belt would be developed as an industrial zone once separate Telangana was carved out. He said Adilabad would be beautified like Kashmir.

Meanwhile, Rao in a letter to the chief minister wanted the government to supply required fertilisers to farmers. He objected to nonIAS officers from the forest department holding the Markfed managing director's post.
