T-Congress celebrates Telangana Bill anniversary
Hyderabad, Feb 20 (INN): The Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee on Friday celebrated the first anniversary of passing of Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act in the Rajya Sabha.
TPCC President Ponnala Lakshmaiah, Leader of the Opposition K Jana Reddy, CLP leader in Council D Srinivas, Rajya Sabha MP V Hanumantha Rao, MLAs Vamshi Chandra Reddy, DK Aruna and Ram Mohan Reddy, MLCs Mohammed Ali Shabbir, MS Prabhakar and Ponguleti Sudhakar Reddy, former MPs Ponnam Prabhakar and M Anjan Kumar Yadav and other leaders participated in the celebration.
Speaking on the occasion, Ponnala claimed that it was AICC President Sonia Gandhi who turned the dream of Telangana into a reality. He said Sonia Gandhi made several sacrifices to fulfill the promise of granting statehood for Telangana which she made on December 9, 2009.
Despite facing several hurdles, she kept her words and bifurcated Andhra Pradesh while knowing well that Congress would be wiped out of Seemandhra due to her decision.
Ponnala alleged that TRS came to power by exploiting the sentiments of people of Telangana. However, Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao completely ignored the people's welfare after coming to power, he alleged.
Later, all the Congress leaders went to Gun Park and paid floral tributes to martyrs at Telangana Martyrs' Memorial.
