| Hyderabad,
Oct 30: Breaking his silence, Telangana Rashtra Samithi chief K.
Chandrasekhara Rao Tuesday warned of a "war" for a separate state of
Telangana. "If the centre delivers Telangana state, there will be celebrations, otherwise there will be war," he told reporters here. The TRS would be holding its two-day conclave at Karimnagar Nov 5-6 to chalk out the future course of action over the demand to carve a Telangana state out of Andhra Pradesh. KCR, as Rao is popularly known, was silent ever since he returned to Hyderabad earlier this month after nearly a month-long stay in New Delhi to hold talks with Congress leadership over the Telangana issue. He reiterated that he met several leaders and that the talks were positive. "Can I say no if they want to give Telangana state," he quipped, when a reporter asked if he would again visit Delhi for talks. He, however, said there was no invitation from the central government for talks. The TRS chief had been avoiding media for nearly a month amid reports of differences with Telangana Joint Action Committee (JAC) leader M. Kodandaram. KCR had come under criticism from some JAC leaders for not attending the Telangana march held in Hyderabad on Sep 30. KCR also gave a call for observing Nov 1, the formation day of Andhra Pradesh, as "betrayal day". It was on this day in 1956 that Telangana was merged with then Andhra state to form Andhra Pradesh. |
