Words of comfort: Talli Telangana party president Vijayashanti consoling the victim of a kin of a recent epidemic in Eturunagaram of Warangal district on Sunday.

WARANGAL: Talli Telangana Party leader and actress Vijayashanti on Sunday reiterated her appeal to the Telangana parties to fight for the cause of Telangana State.

She said some Telangana parties were trying to join hands with parties which were not in favour of separate Telangana but integrated State.

She wanted the people to question such parties who were colluding with other parties for their selfish ends. Apparently, she was referring to the proposed tie-up between the TRS and the TDP.

Ms. Vijayashanti accused the Congress government and Chief Minister Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy of failing to the come to the rescue of innocent tribals during the recent epidemic in the agency areas of the district.

“A total of 57 people died due to viral fevers. The government did not respond the way it is supposed to,” she said. Addressing party cadre at Mulug, she urged the party workers to expose the parties which were making false promises on Telangana.

She wanted them to tell the people about who were seriously pursuing the cause.

“My appeal to all the people’s organisations and parties working for separate Telangana is to come together and launch a united fight till the goal is achieved,” she said.

The Talli Telangana party leader made a whirlwind tour to Eturunagaram and Mulug mandals in the district today.

The actress-turned-politician was here to console the victims of recent epidemic in tribal mandals of the district. She interacted with the victims and gave away Rs. 5,000 to three families which lost their members.

She visited the Civil Hospital at Eturunagaram mandal headquarters and talked to S. Puspha and G. Rama Devi who were admitted there. She gave away Rs. 2,000 and Rs. 5,000 respectively.

Ms. Vijayashanti went to Rayanigudem village in Mulug mandal and consoled one D. Laxmamma who lost her husband Laxmi Narasiah due to fever. She promised to give Rs. 1 lakh within three days to her.
