The ongoing Sakala Janula Samme in Telangana region is slowing down with several of the participant employees associations calling of the strike. Invariably, this has led the TJAC convenor M Kodandaram and TRS chief K Chandrasekhar Rao to look for other alternatives to keep the separate state flame burning. As part of the newfound strategy, KCR son and Sircilla MLA K T Ramarao has announced that the TRS chief will go on an indefinite fast demanding statehood for the region. However, the time and date for the proposed fast would be decided later.
Speaking to reporters at Suryapet on Wednesday, Tarakarama Rao said that KCR had discussed his proposed fast with TRS leaders. However, before taking a final decision, the proposal will be discussed with the Telangana Political Joint Action Committee in its next meeting. Claiming that the Sakala Janula Samme, the ongoing general strike, has been successful in mounting pressure on the centre, KTR accused Congress leaders of having failed to make the Centre announce a favourable decision on Telangana. He said that the Congress did not participate in the general strike actively and that, in fact, some of its leaders had tried to sabotage the agitation.
The Sircilla MLA said that Congress ministers, MPs and MLAs have together failed to mount pressure on the Congress-led UPA government, and that they have become a major obstacle in the formation of a Telangana state. He demanded that elected representatives of the Congress party resign to mount pressure on the Centre. Regarding KCR's proposed indefinite fast, KTR hoped that like the one in December 2009, the fast would force the Centre to make an early and favourable announcement on Telangana.
