Speaking at Telangana Bhavan on Thursday - 29 September 2011, the day 17 of the ongoing 'Sakala Janula Samme', Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) chief K Chandrasekhar Rao said that Telangana state without Hyderabad as its capital is unacceptable, but other proposed states if any, can use it as joint capital till they make their own arrangements.

K. Chandrasekhara Rao warned the central government against creating any controversy over the status of Hyderabad city, saying Telangana without Hyderabad would be like a headless body. He said "If any problems are created over Hyderabad, Telangana will boil." He added that no proposal except Telangana state with Hyderabad as its capital was acceptable to them.

KCR mooted the idea that rulers of Seemandhra (the other proposed state comprising Rayalaseema and Andhra regions) function from Hyderabad for few years. "They can have a secretariat here. We have two halls in the assembly. They can use one of them and function from for three, four or five years till they develop their own capital," he said. KCR was confident that separate Telangana state would soon become a reality. He said with the movement intensifying due to ongoing "Sakala Janula Samme", the central government had no alternative but to deliver Telangana.
