Describing Congress and TDP as anti-Telangana parties, senior TRS leader T Harish Rao alleged that the People’s Front is threatening the very existence of Telangana as a separate State.
Speaking to reporters at Telangana Bhavan on Monday, he said: “As an activist who fought for separate Telangana State, I am saying these words. Congress is trying to revert Telangana to a situation that existed in 1956. In 1956, Congress merged Andhra Pradesh with Telangana to defeat the Left parties which were strong in the region then.”
Welcomes HC verdict
Meanwhile, Harish Rao welcomed High Court order quashing the Congress leader Nagam Janardhan Reddy’s PIL against Palamuru-Rangareddy Lift Irrigation Project. “The HC decision is a slap on the face of Nagam Janardhan Reddy,” Harish Rao, who is the Irrigation Minister in the caretaker government, said.
