Katari rebuts KCR’s charge

Accusing Lok Satta Party national President and Kukatpally legislator Dr. Jayaprakash Narayan, who unveiled a comprehensive and amicable solution to the State’s bifurcation, of being anti Telangana is nothing but playing vote bank politics, said State Lok Satta Party President Katari Srinivasa Rao here today.

Addressing a media conference, Mr. Srinivasa Rao pointed out that Dr. JP had even proposed a resolution in the Assembly incorporating the suggestions for addressing the concerns of Seemandhra people even as he underlined that formation of Telangana is necessary.

Mr. Srinivasa Rao was rebutting the allegation of TRS President K. Chandrasekhara Rao that the anti-Telangana Dr. JP had not sought anything for Seemandhra people. Anticipating a threat to its very existence, the TRS seems to be stalling Telangana formation under one pretext or the other. Spewing venom on Dr. JP and fuelling hatred among people seem to be part of its tactics.

Mr. Srinivasa Rao said that at a time Telangana is becoming a reality, those who have fought for it should display restraint and address the concerns of the other two regions. Instead, they continue to incite people and indulge in false and baseless allegations against leaders like Dr. JP.

Mr. Srinivasa Rao pointed out that unlike other parties which have been indulging in double-speak, the Lok Satta has always been consistent in its stand on Telangana.

Lok Satta Party leaders Allu Ramesh Reddy, Nandipet Ravinder, Jagannadh Reddy and Suneetha Choudary took part in the media meet.
