TRS would resort to hunger strike: Chandrasekhara

Hyderabad, Jun 17 (UNI) Telangana Rastra Samithi President and former Union Minister K Chandrasekhara Rao today said his party leaders will hold a day-long hunger strike in the city on Wednesday to demand the scrap of 34 GO and disclose the details of Telangana region water share in Krishna and Godavari rivers.

Talking to newspersons here, Mr Rao alleged that the state government had issued the 34 GO, secretly, to establish sumps at the lift irrigation projects at the cost of Rs 1200 crore to divert the allocated water of Telangana region to other regions.

Stating that the TRS will also organise a motor cycle rally in all districts on June 26 and in all 'mandals' at the end of the month in protest against the GO, he said the party would continue its agitational programmes until the government scrapped the GO.

The TRS would also organise a bus tour in Telangana region to educate the people about the ''injustice'' meted out by the government to the region.

Stating that non-local government teachers, working in Telangana region, were voluntarily coming forward to go back to their places, the TRS Chief said the party will organise counselling programmes for these employees in all government departments of the city on June 21.

Demanding that the government implement 610 GO by repatriating the non-local government emeployees, he said the TRS was not against the controversial ''integrated services rules'' of the government teachers.
