Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) president A. Revanth Reddy has said that BRS leaders, including Chief Minister K.Chandrasekhar Rao, Ministers K.T.Rama Rao and T.Harish Rao remind him of Seemandhra leaders in the combined Andhra Pradesh who treated Telangana people as slaves.
The current regime does not realise that people of the State want self-respect apart from a fair share of water, funds and jobs, and is trying to instill fear among them, just like Seemandhra leaders did.
Mr.Reddy, who was speaking at a ‘Meet the Press’ organised by Journalists Adhyayana Vedika at a city hotel, said the Telangana agitation was for self-respect and self-administration, and not power. The monarchy of Mr.Chandrasekhar Rao will not be tolerated by the people, he said and called for the BRS government’s ouster if the State has to be saved.
