It Applies To You As Well!

"In 1992, I was a TDP MLA and Jana Reddy was in the Congress. He did not get a Minister post in the cabinet of Kotla Vijaybhaskar Reddy. Thereupon, he started a Telangana agitation and invited me to be part of it. I told him that his agitation was not sincere and only started because he did not get a cabinet berth. Shortly after, Jana Reddy was made a Minister and he dropped the agitation plan,” said KCR in Warangal.

Ironically, the same criticism applies to KCR as well. When he was refused a cabinet berth by Chandrababu Naidu, he immediately started the Telangana agitation.

To those who argue that Telangana was given because of KCR, the answer is no! Sonia Gandhi gave Telangana because YSR had become so powerful in united AP that even she could no longer exert pressure on YSR regarding key decisions.

She felt that a bifurcated AP would suit the interests of her family better. Hence, when YSR passed away and with there being no leader strong enough, she divided AP with the foresight that another leader of the stature of YSR would not emerge in future.
