Hyderabad: TRS, the Telangana political Joint Action Committee (JAC) and Congress leaders from the region voiced stiff opposition toKadapa MP YS Jagan Mohan Reddy’s fast to be held at Nizamabad district on Tuesday.
“Jagan has an anti-Telangana attitude. He never spoke in support of Telangana. He has tried to evade a clear stance onthe separate statehood demand(by saying that the decision onit has to be taken by Centre). All Congress activists in Telangana should oppose his visit,” Congress Lok Sabha member from Karimnagar Ponnam Prabhakar told reporters.
Jagan is scheduled to hold a 48-hour fast at Armoor in Nizamabad district over farmers’ problems.
The JAC alleged that Jagan’s visit to Nizamabad district in Telangana region is only a manifestation of the “domination of coastal Andhra” over Telangana.
“We seek a clear stand on Telangana. No one should come here without a clear stance on the separate statehood issue.
No political yatra should be undertaken in Telangana (without endorsing separate statehood demand),” JAC convener M Kodandaram said.
Maintaining that Jagan has proved himself to be against Telangana, TRS MLA and party president K Chandrasekhar Rao’s son KT Rama Rao said the YSR Congress leader is bound to faceopposition.
Asserting that it respected thesentiments of Telangana people, the YSR Congress, however, says that it is for the Centre to take a decision onthe issue.
The TRS and JAC have earlier opposed the visits of TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu to Warangal district in Telangana because of his allegedly ambivalent stance onthe statehood issue.
