TDF Press Release Congratulating TRS Ministers for Resigning



July 3, 2005

It gives great pleasure to the Telangana Development Forum, USA to announce the complete and un-conditional moral support to any decision taken by the Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) on the eve of American Independence Day. TDF-USA congratulates a valient decision, if carried through, to seek justice and independence for Telangana by availing all peaceful means possible.

TDF President Madhu Kakulavaram pointed out "TDF-USA supports any political party or person that puts forward an active plan and seeks advancement of Telangana agenda".

The TRS must be congratulated on a bold stand they wish to take at this juncture where the Chief Minister himself is acting in a disparaging manner with open hostility toward Telangana. Brushing aside the concerns of injustice while attempting to carry the water from Krishna River to Rayalaseema and continuing to build on Pulicintala without attempting to provide water for the left canal, and re introducing power tariff for those under borewells are all indications of a very planned covert action to undermine the interests of Telangana.

TDF-USA believes that it is high time for the Congress representatives from Telangana to respect the mandate of the people atleast now by raising above their narrow self interests. TDF deplores the comments made by Mr. Keshava Rao as APCC president at the TANA mock assembly who created a mockery by his own statements. It is false to say that 'all NRIs are against Telangana' -- there are thousands of Telangana NRIs who demand Telangana now. He should have waited to make any such judgements as TANA is heavily influenced by andhra participants alone.

Therefore, the TDF-USA expects people from TRCC to raise above their self interests and demand Telangana state with one voice and march in synch with TRS.

The alienation of TRS from the government is a further proof that the development of Telangana can only occur only within the framework of a T-State. Nothing less is acceptable.
