Telangana Rashtra Samithi chief KCR left this afternoon for New Delhi to attend the winter session of Parliament from November 22 to December 21. Before leaving for Delhi, he spoke to media at his residence. He said that he will meet the UP chief minister Ms. Mayawati and other opposition leaders and seek their support in raising Telangana issue in the Parliament.

KCR said that his main intention for going to Delhi is to stall the Parliament session, unless the government makes an announcement on formation of Telangana state. He said that he would be meeting key BJP leaders, Sushma Swaraj and Lal Kishan Advani, and seek their support for stalling the proceedings of the house. According to sources, the TRS president might also fix up meetings with Union Ministers Pranab Mukherjee and P Chidambaram during his stay in New Delhi. It is believed that he even sought the support of Congress MPs to corner the centre about the promise made on December 9, 2009.

Appreciating Ms. Mayawati's decision to divide UP in to four states, KCR said "It's a bold decision on her part and is good for democracy also. I'm personally and on behalf of TRS thankful to her for reiterating her support for formation of Telangana state. I shall demand the Prime Minister to take up both Telangana and UP issues in the winter session of parliament itself. Since, the resolution to divide UP has already been passed in the assembly, there shouldn't be any problem in implementing it." He said that there is absolutely no need of a SRC to carve out Telangan. He said "The other day Congress spokesperson Mr. Rashid Alvi clearly said said that there's no need for any SRC to form Telangana as the it has Centre has already announced its formation earlier. Now the center has no alternative other than forming the state." KCR asserted that either center has to give Telangana state or will perish for ever.
