TPF call to intensify T stir Hyderabad: Alleging that the Centre was resorting to delaying tactics on one pretext or other to hasten process of carving out Telangana State even after the Congress Working Committee delivered its much awaited verdict in favour of Telangana some 50 days ago, the Telangana Praja Front here on Thursday called upon people’s organizations, students, employees and workers unions in Telangana to intensify the agitation to force the Union government to deliver separate State immediately. Speaking to mediapersons here, Telangana Praja Front (TPF) State president Akula Bhoomaiah, State secretaries Nalamana Krishna, Pujari Narsinga Rao, Devendra and executive member K. Sayanna alleged that the Centre’s failure to begin the process of formation of Telangana State was the fine example of the ruling party’s criminal negligence and opportunism. They said the Centre’s failure to incorporate Telangana issue in the Union Cabinet agenda at today’s meeting was giving rise to many suspicions. Though the six decades-long agitation for separate Telangana State yielded result, the Congress high priests have been delaying the process on one pretext or another. The TPF leaders pointed out the Centre had constituted Justice Srikrishna Committee to study the situation in the State on Telangana issue and submit its report, the Union government delivered its verdict in favour of Telangana after two-and-a-half years.

The TPF also pointed out that the Centre was trying to defer process of Telangana State formation on the pretext that Union Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde was unwell and Congress supremo went to the United States for medical treatment. Meanwhile, Chief Minister N.

Besides, the Seemandhra capitalists were conspiring to exert pressure on the Centre to make Hyderabad as joint capital of Telangana and Seemandhra States or a Union Territory, they said, adding that the statements of Union ministers too were giving strength to the theory of the Seemandhra leaders. The TPF leader also criticized the Telangana Congress leaders for singing psalms on Sonia Gandhi while the frenzied Seemandhra leaders were fuelling the Samaikyandhra agitation. They also lambasted TDP chief N. Chandrababu Naidu for siding with the Seemandhra agitators while his Telangana lieutenants were extolling him as a great intellectual
