Updated : Jun 22, 2011
The protestors, including students of Kakatiya University, alleged that leaders of the Congress and Telugu Desam parties are responsible for the delay in formation of a separate state as they were not ready to quit their posts. Leaders of the ruling Congress party came under attack yesterday also. Mourners and Telangana activists roughed up parliament members S. Rajaiah and G. Vivek yesterday when they came to Jayashankar's house to pay their homage. Angry mourners have vowed not to allow leaders of the Congress and the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) pay their respects to the late leader or attend his funeral scheduled later in the day.
