Minutes before the campaigning time ended on Wednesday evening, the People’s Front put up a united show at a press conference with all its stars sharing the stage and the AICC president Rahul Gandhi announcing that the voice of Telangana was sitting together to deliver the Telangana that people had dreamt of during the agitation.
The press conference attended by alliance partners including Telugu Desam Party (TDP) president N. Chandrababu Naidu, TJS president Kodandaram, CPI Secretary S. Sudhakar Reddy, Manda Krishna Madiga, Gaddar, Cheruku Sudhakar and Abdul Ghani of Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) sent a united message which Mr. Rahul Gandhi described that a government with foundation for protection of farmers and employment to youngsters will be in place in a few days.
Mr. Gandhi said Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao’s body language and his abuses at public meetings show the nervousness of his imminent defeat. “The reality is coming to him,” he said. To a question, he said the cadre of all the parties were working in harmony.
Justifying the alliance with Telangana TDP, he said Mr. Naidu came to him with his fears of India under attack from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the very idea of India was under threat. KCR, as a supporter of Mr. Modi, obviously had to be fought together by us, he said.
No interference
Mr. Naidu ridiculed the campaign against him that he would interfere in Telangana affairs. It is a false propaganda unleashed by a nervous KCR. There will be a Telangana government here and Mr. Kodandaram will be the convenor of the alliance guiding the government.
He said all the projects in Telangana were either taken up during TDP or Congress regimes except Kaleshwaram and KCR doesn’t have much to claim. “I want both the States to be developed and working together both States can prosper,” he said adding that his role will be limited.
Goebbel’s propaganda
The TPCC president Uttam Kumar Reddy termed the fears of Mr. Naidu’s interference as Goebbel’s propaganda of the TRS and said KCR doesn’t have much to boast about his governance. So he is resorting to such tactics but people are aware of it. AICC in-charge for Telangana R.C. Khuntia, AICC Secretaries Madhu Yaskhi and N.S. Bose Raju and AICC media chief, Randeep Surjewala were also present.
