Telangana Political Joint Action Committee chairman Prof M Kodandaram on Monday predicted that the statehood agitation would pull down the Congress Government in the State.
Addressing a gathering after launching the "Bus Yatra" at Gun Park here, Prof Kodandaram said that the Yatra was aimed at creating awareness about the "Sadak Bandh" proposed to be held on February 24. He said that this time, the statehood agitation would be more intense and targeted against the Congress leaders. He condemned the Congress leaders from Telangana region for not reacting to the anti-Telangana statements being issued by their party colleagues from other regions.
Prof Kodandaram demanded that the Centre introduces Telangana Bill in the ensuing session of the Parliament. He predicted that the Kiran Kumar Reddy Government in the State would collapse if the Centre delays the decision on the statehood issue. He held the Centre responsible for the increase in number of suicides for the cause of statehood.
Before launching the Bus Yatra, Prof Kodandaram and other leaders paid respect to the martyrs of Telangana at Gun Park.
