New Delhi, Dec 7 (UNI) The Congress today said that the victory of TRS leader and former Union Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao in the Karimnagar LS seat by-election could not be termed as a referendum on his demand for a separate Telangana State.

''Let not one Assembly segment be the indicator of the entire State,'' Congress Spokesman Abhishek Singhvi toold mediapersons here.

While congratulating Mr Rao for his win, the Congress spokesman said much should not be read into Mr Rao's victory in the bye-election. ''While the congress had lost in Karimnagar, it had registered significant victories in the by-elections held in other places,'' he said.

Replying to a question, Mr Singhvi denied the suggestion that there was any pressure on UPA Chairperson and Congress President Sonia Gandhi not to attend the function in Parliament for the unveiling of the statue of late M.G.Ramchandran.
