Hyderabad: Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao on Sunday appealed to the people not to become slaves of Delhi parties and urged them to emulate Tamil Nadu, which has its own parties, for their self-respect.
“You have to decide whether decisions relating to Telangana should be taken by us here or should we become slaves of Delhi parties,” the CM said, in an obvious reference to BJP and Congress. Rao, who is popularly known as KCR, was addressing a massive rally titled ‘Pragathi Nivedana Sabha’, organised by his party, Telangana Rashtra Samithi, on the outskirts of Hyderabad when he made the statement.
The CM’s call came amid speculations that he would announce the dissolution of the Legislative Assembly and sound the bugle for early polls, following a cabinet meeting earlier in the day. It is being speculated that the state government is considering early polls on the presumption that there is a positive mood among people on the Chandrashekar-led government.
Stating that the ministers and party leaders have authorized him to take a decision which is in the best interest of the state, KCR asserted, “In the coming days you will hear that decision.”
While promising to take Telangana forward on the path of development, KCR advised people to emulate Tamil Nadu, which has its own parties, and not allow Delhi to take control over Telangana’s decisions.
KCR also announced the formation of a manifesto committee, headed by party General Secretary K Keshava Rao, to chalk out the party’s plans if voted to power again.
