Not heeding to the party supremo Chandra Babu Naidu, Telugu Desam MLA, Mr Nagam Janardhan Reddy, launched "Telangana Nagaara" meeting at Nagarkurnool in Mahbubnagar district yesterday. Earlier Mr. Janardhan Reddy gave an ultimatum to the party chief, Mr N. Chandrababu Naidu, that if the party fails to announce its commitment to Telangana by the first week of June, he would tender his resignation and submit the same to the Speaker.
Speaking at the meeting, Nagam Janardhan Reddy said that the T-movement would be intensified from June and warned of severe violence if there was any move to suppress it. "I am not scared of anyone. I am committed to Telangana and will fight till the end for it. Our fight is against Andhraites who have looted Telangana over the years and not against ordinary folk," he said while addressed the huge rally.
Even as the meeting was underway, in a strategic move to ensure that there was no split in the TDP, party chief N Chandrababu Naidu announced that 'Telangana Nagaara,' (public meeting) organized at Nagarkurnool by Nagam Janardhan Reddy had his clearance. According to politburo member E Dayakar Rao, Naidu also said that the T leaders were free to organise any kind of programme, keeping in view the aspirations of their constituents.
Interestingly, much earlier to Naidu's announcement, 6 TDP MLAs - Mr K. Harishwar Reddy, Mr S. Venugopala Chari, Mr Ravula Chandrasekhar Reddy, Mr Jogu Ramanna, Mr Jaipal Yadav and Mr Ramulu besides Mahabubnagar district TD unit president, Mr Manohar, former Minister, Mr K. Vijayarama Rao were already participating in the meeting.
