Fact Sheet: Congmen drop Telangana demand!
Yet another aspect that interested the political observers at the Rededication Day meeting was that no leader from Telangana, barring Khairatabad MLA P Janardhan Reddy, dared to raise the demand for separate Telangana State.
In fact, AICC incharge of AP affairs Digvijay Singh was briefed in detail well in advance on how to tackle the issue of separate Telangana, if there was any such demand from the speakers. However, to his surprise, no leader spoke about Telangana State demand, but for a few voices over injustice to Telangana, but they were grossly inadequate for Digvijay Sing to react. Strong protagonists of Telangana like V Purushottam Reddy rejected the offer to speak and walked out of the meeting and others did not get the opportunity at all.
PJR was the only person who could boldly raise the Telangana issue and ending up his speech with a request to Digvijay Singh to prevail upon Sonia Gandhi to grant Telangana State. However, he could not make much impact on Diggy. Obviously, Diggy would tell Sonia that the demand for Telangana Statehood had subsided in the Congress.
