The Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) president, Mr K. Chandrasekar Rao, on Tuesday threatened repeat of incidents that shook the Telangana region in last December, if the Kadapa MP, Mr Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, carried on with his proposed visit in the region. Talking to the media here, the TRS chief warned of serious consequences if the proposed tour was not cancelled.
He found fault with the state government for not stopping Mr Jagan though the situation was not conducive for such a tour.
“Just to give a few lakh rupees, the government is spending nearly Rs 30 crore for providing security to Mr Jagan. Let him call the affected families to Hyderabad and handover the money. It is not correct to allow him to tour the region,” KCR said.
He asked his partymen to organise protest rallies and dharnas to stop Mr Jagan from entering the region. He dared the government to go ahead and give protection to the “young” leader hurting people’s sentiments.
“Warangal people already made it clear by participating in a bandh,” he said.

PR keen to win in T region again
The Praja Rajyam is keen to revive the party in Telangana region as it did not want to confine its activities only to Andhra and Rayalaseema regions.
“We are virtually searching for leaders who can lead the party in Telangana region. However, there is not much response,” said a senior PR leader.
“We will have to face major challenge in municipal and panchayat raj elections. It is not so easy to defeat the Congress and the TD which are very strong in Andhra and Rayalaseema regions. We are trying to rebuild the party across the state to emerge as an alternate force to the other major parties in the state,” said another leader.

TGV cautions lawyers of Telangana on KCR
The Rayalaseema Hakkula Ikya Vedika convenor, Mr T.G. Venkatesh, said lawyers of Telangana region should beware of the Telangana Rashtra Samiti, Mr K. Chandrasekhar Rao, who he alleged would dupe them.

Mr Venkatesh said tension would build up due to atta-cks and cause great harm.He said it was wrong on the part of lawyers to go to the protest staged by the Telugu Desam and Left parties on price rise.
Mr Venkatesh also said it was not proper for the TD activists to attack lawyers when the police personnel were present. He said lawyers should put forth their arguments before the Srikrishna Committee in-stead of attacks.
Mr Venkatesh said KCR, who had previously oppo-sed the committee, was getting to ready to submit his arguments before it.
He said if backwardness to be the cause for formation of a separate state Rayalaseema state should be formed first .
Mr Venkatesh said that Telangana would not be formed with resignations and opposed the proposal to field members of the bereaved families in the byelections.

TRS goes slow on resignations
The Telangana Rasthra Samiti (TRS) has stopped insisting on resignation of Congress and Telugu Desam MLAs from Telangana region after the TRS president, Mr K.Chandrasekhar Rao, representing Mahbubnagar constituency and the Medak MP, Ms Vijayashanti, backtracked on submitting their resignation again to the Lok Sabha Speaker, Ms Meera Kumar.
The TRS leaders feared that Mr Chandrasekhar Rao and Ms Vijayashanti would be in trouble if they demand for resignation of other leaders.
Though all the TRS MLAs resubmitted their resignation again after they were rejected earlier by the Assembly Speaker, Mr N. Kirankumar Reddy, the TRS chief and Ms Vijayashanti did not follow the suit, causing confusion among the party cadre. Many leaders opined that the TRS MLAs were made scapegoats by the party high command. They feel that it would not be a cake walk for the TRS to win the seats as some parties are trying to field family members of the students who sacrificed their lives for the Telangana movement.
The Praja Telangana Samiti (PTS) chief, Capt. C. Karunakar Reddy said his party would support family members of the students if they contest in the bypolls.
“We will strive hard for the victory of the family whose children sacrificed their lives for Telangana. We will think of contesting the elections if the family members are reluctant to contest the elections,” he said.
TRS sources said that Mr Chandrasekhar Rao and Ms Vijayashanti would resign at an ‘appropriate time’.
“The Telangana issue would be discussed continuously when the bypolls for MLA and MPs seats are held in different months. Our party MPs will quit after the completion of the bypolls,” said a TRS leader.
Meanwhile, if the elections to the recognised trade union in the Sirpur Paper Mills (SPM) Limited is any indication, it is unlikely that the TRS will win many seats in the bypolls.
Senior TRS leader Nayini Narasimha Reddy was defeated in election and got only the third place though the former local MLA, Mr K.Sammaiah, was confident of his victory.
The results have shocked three former TRS MLAs, Mr G.Aravind Reddy of Mancherial, Mr Nallala Odelu of Chennur and Mr K. Sammaiah of Sirpur (T) and they started doubting their prospects for the bypoll.
The Telangana agitators are also suspecting the game plan of Mr Chandrasekhar Rao who attended the get together of political parties hosted by the Srikrishna Committee when the T-JAC decided to boycott it.

Ministers warn T-JAC it can attack TRS too
Congress ministers and MLAs from Telangana region have now started openly defending their decision not to resign and criticised the TRS leadership and the T-JAC convenor, Prof. Kodandaram for their comments. They even threatened them of retaliation by Congress workers.
The PCC chief, Mr D. Srinivas, who met the members decided to isolate the TRS and strengthen the Congress in the region.
“There is no need to submit resignations afresh as the Srikrishna committee was constituted and it will look into the issue,” the Telangana Congress ministers said.
With regard to attacks on their houses they have said it was not proper for the TRS to ask its activists to attack their properties. “You being from Telangana want to attack your own fellow Telanganites. How is that proper? If Congressmen retaliate, you will have to bear the brunt,” Ms D.K. Aruna told Mr Chandrasekhar Rao.
They also said Prof. Kodandaram has no business to issue threats daily. “Who are you to dictate terms to ministers and MLAs? Don’t cross your limits,” Mr Komatireddy Venkatareddy said.

TD awaits Congress lead on resignations
The Telugu Desam MLAs from Telangana region have decided to submit their resignations to the Telangana Joint Action committee convenor, Prof. Kodandaram, and not to the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly.
The TD has decided to tread carefully on the issue of resignations. The TD senior leader, Dr Nagam Janardan Reddy, while talking to mediapersons, said, “We have asked Prof. Kodandaram to secure resignations of Congress members before handing over ours to the Speaker.”
As many as 28 members of the TD handed over their resignations to Dr Nagam Janardan Reddy on Sunday. The remaining 10 MLAs from Telangana districts would submit their letters on Monday, Dr Janardan Reddy said.
By giving the resignation letters to Joint Action Committee, the TD party ensured that their letters would reach the Speaker’s office only after the Congress members submit theirs’. The TD can now say it complied with the JAC deadline and criticise the Congress MLAs for not doing so.
The TD T-MLAs have also decided not to attend the Budget session starting on Monday as they have already submitted resignations to the JAC. “Only a constitutional crisis would ensure formation of Telangana state. We are ready to resign, Now, it is for the Congress to act,” said Dr Janardan Reddy.
