Congress MPs face ire of Telangana supporters

Hyderabad, Mar 10: Congress MPs K Keshav Rao and Madhu Yashki Goud had to face the ire of Telangana supporters near Tank Bund where they had come to take part in the ''million march to Hyderabad'' here today (Mar 10).

Shouting slogans, some Telangana supporters threw things like water bottles and chappals at Keshav Rao and Yashki, and the two had to leave the place.

Responding to the incident, Madhu Yashki Goud said a wrong impression has been created in the minds of Telangana supporters that separate state would be realised if the Telangana leaders quit their posts and triggered a Constitutional crisis. The attack on them was the result of such a wrong impression, he said.

"TRS president K Chandrasekhar Rao has quit his post several times. Did Telangana come with that? We need to be in Parliament to fight for separate state and to ensure that a bill is passed for formation of separate Telangana," he said.
