NTR Supported Telangana?

As of now, we have been believing that former Chief Minster, late Mr.NT Ramarao had been a strong supporter of united AP. We have also watched the song 'Telugu Jaathi manadee ninduga velugu jaathi manadee' from 'Thalla Pellamaa' movie. However, history reveals the real face of every man and this is somewhat the TRS leader KTR tried to reveal it.KTR on Friday, 23rd August showed the evidences of the newspaper clippings of Ntr and ANR's statements seeking the state divided into Telangana and Andhra states to avoid the violence and agitations. He also said the 'Jai Andhra' movement enjoyed the nice support by then superstars such as Ntr,ANR, Krishna and many more from the film industry. He countered Nandamuri Harikrishna's claim that his father late Ntr struggled for the sake of unity among Telugus. Asking Harikrishna to update his knowledge of history, he advised him to follow his father's ideals by support bifurcation of the state. 

As per the history and  the clippings released by KTR, it is understood that Ntr supported united Andhra during United AP movement in 1969. Subsequently he sang 'Telugu jaathi' song in 'Thalla Pellama', which was released on 8th January,1970. Later, during 'Jai Andhra' movement, Ntr supported bifurcation of the state, as per KTR's words. Ntr and ANR  gave an open statement supporting state's division on 17th February,1973, which was seen on the newspapers of 18th February,1973. However, ANR and Krishna can give us more clarity about their statements then.
