Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) has hit back strongly at the remarks made by Congress leader and former Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram on the formation of Telangana State and K. Chandrasekhar Rao stating that it was one more attempt by that party to mislead people in a series of falsehoods it is spreading ahead of Assembly elections.
Addressing a press conference here on Thursday, Ponnala Lakshmaiah, the former Pradesh Congress Committee president who joined BRS last month accusing the present leadership of insulting a senior leader like him, asked the Congress leaders whether they had the guts to go to people by telling facts. He sought to know from Mr. Chidambaram whether he could have announced statehood to Telangana had KCR not gone on the indefinite fast.
