Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) on Wednesday alleged that chief minister K Chandrashekhar Rao has a hidden political agenda behind organising the World Telugu Conference.
TPCC official spokesman Dasoju Sravan said the proposed World Telugu Conference was neither aimed at highlighting the glory of Telugu language nor it would lead to any kind of promotion.
"The event is being organised only to highlight KCR as an ardent lover of Telugu language. By doing so, the Chief Minister wants to capture the traditional vote bank of Telugu Desam Party who once supported late N T Rama Rao on the slogan of Telugu pride. Since TDP has lost its political relevance in Telangana, TRS wants to project itself as its alternate," he said.
He alleged that the TRS had cheated people in 2014 elections on Telangana sentiments.
“In 2019, he wants to lure and cheat people on Telugu sentiments. If KCR really loved Telugu language, then he would have organised the Telugu Conference in 2014 itself. Therefore, the coming Telugu Mahasabha is nothing but a pre-election event being organised by TRS using public money," Sravan said.
He said the non-serious of TRS Government could be understood from the fact that the hoardings of World Telugu Conference have KCR's designation as "Chief Minister" and not "Mukhya Mantri".
He strongly condemned the TRS Government for misusing the name of Telugu language for political gain.
"Is it not ridiculous that a "World Conference" will not be having the participation of local representatives? If KCR did not had any ill-intentions, then he would held an all-party meeting to elicit views of opposition parties on organising the conference. However, he not only neglected the opposition parties, but also ignored the local poets and literary personalities who does not sing praises for him," he said.
