Taking strong objection to the Telangana resolution passed by Telugu Desam Party at its just concluded Mahanadu, the Telangana Rashtra Samithi termed it as nothing more than deceiving the people of the region. It blamed the TDP for washing its hands off by putting the onus entirely on the central government.

Speaking in the Press conference, TRS MLA Koppula Eashwar said that by stating that it was left to the Centre to take a decision, the TDP conveniently tried to absolve itself of the responsibility to achieve Statehood for the region. "It was public knowledge that only the Centre can form the State. However, the leaders of TDP debated at Mahanadu as if they have discovered something new. It amounted to deceiving people of the region," said Mr. Eashwar.

Another TRS MLA T. Harish Rao said TDP president N. Chandrababu Naidu never mentioned throughout Mahanadu proceedings that the latter's party would stick to its earlier resolution supporting separate Telangana. Mr. Naidu only harped on his achievements during his nine-year rule. TRS polit buro member G. Sravan Kumar accused the TDP leaders of launching an attack against KCR as they were no way near the latter in the struggle for Statehood. The TRS students' wing president Balki Suman said the TDP leaders played to the tunes of Mr. Naidu at the Mahanadu. The TDP exposed that it had no concern for students who ended up their lives for separate Telangana.
