VOTE US TO POWER TO REALIST TELANGANA DREAM, SAYS KCR

Suryapet: Give me 17 MPs and we can bring Telangana,said KCR while beating the Telangana war drum ( Samara Bheri ) to mark the relaunch of the movement to achieve a separate state at a rally in Suryapet on Sunday evening.The TRS chief also sounded the election bugle and called upon the people of Telangana to vote for his party so that the Telangana dream is realised. He said that the TRS could put pressure on the Union government and stall the Parliament proceedings with 17 MPs on hand,and Telangana state would be a reality if his party wins 100 assembly seats in the region.We are two MPs now,and raising our voice in Parliament.If we get 17 MPs,we can stall its proceedings till the Union government announces a separate state.I appeal to the people of Telangana to keep this in mind while exercising their franchise, KCR said. He added that his party and the Telangana Political Joint Action Committee (TJAC) had decided a two-pronged strategy to achieve Telangana,intensifying the agitation led by TJAC and winning elections led by TRS. Criticising the regimes of Chandrababu Naidu and Y S Rajasekhara Reddy,KCR said that Telangana region could not have expected justice under these leaders as they were from Seemandhra.He assured an old-age pension of Rs 1,000 and Rs 1,500 pension for the handicapped if his party comes to power.He also assured T-government employees salary on a par with central payscale. To achieve all this we need political power and I call upon the people of Telangana to give us the power, KCR thundered.Prior to KCRs speech,M Kodandaram,chairman of TJAC,addressed the gathering and said that the strategies for intensifying the agitation would be laid down in a couple of days following deliberations during the steering committee meeting.He said December 9 would be observed as an inspiration day as then Union home minister P Chidambaram issued a positive statement on T on that day in 2009,and December 23 would be observed as Vidroha Dinam (day of revolt ) as the Union government went back on its word on that day in 2009. The Congress deceived us on Telangana,and we must give a befitting reply.We will first target the Congress ministers and then intensify the agitation and will not stop till the Telangana state is achieved, said Kodandaram.
