TRS will backstab voters, warns Rahul
DICHPALLY: Seeking to stop the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) in its tracks, the Congress, for the first time, launched a frontal attack on the 'credibility' of the regional party, particularly its chief K Chandrasekhar Rao.
In contrast to the 'soft speech' delivered by Congress president Sonia Gandhi at Karimnagar the other day, her son and party vice-president Rahul Gandhi on Monday sought to impress upon the people that the TRS is a party that could not be trusted.
Speaking in conversational Hindi ' punctuated with enough pauses to ensure that the message is absorbed ' Rahul said the TRS and its chief (whom he did not wish to identify) would 'stab' the Telangana people much like the way they knifed the Congress.
Addressing public meetings in Mahboobnagar and Dichpally in Nizamabad district, the Gandhi scion narrated a hitherto unknown episode that unfolded in Delhi soon after the Telangana Bill was passed in Parliament.
Apparently, KCR and family paid Rahul a visit and thanked him and his mother for carving out a separate Telangana state.
'He (KCR) shook hands with me and promised to stand by the party (Congress). After the handshakes, he went out and returned to request me for a hug and I obliged. He again repeated the promise that he would be with the Congress in developing the new state,' Rahul recalled.
After a pause, he added, 'If only it was just a matter of handshakes, I would not have bothered. Magar unhe gala milaya, bahar aaya aur chaku mara (But he hugged me, came out and stabbed us).'
