MLA for blasting 'Babhali' after T
Express News ServiceFirst Published : 10 Jan 2010 05:01:26 AM ISTLast Updated :
KARIMNAGAR/ WARANGAL: Demanding separate Telangana State, widespread
agitations continued across Karimnagar and Warangal districts today.
In Karimnagar, Satavahana University students staged a protest by
preparing food on the road in front of Karimnagar Bus Station. The
students demanded the Centre to make a clear announcement on Telangana
immediately. In another programme, JAC students conducted 'Vidyarthi
Dhoom Dham' at the Indira Chowk which was reverberated with the
slogans of `Jai Telangana'.
Addressing students, Karimnagar MLA G Kamalakar turned emotional and
sought to know as to why Seemandhra leaders didn't object to the
Babhali project being constructed illegally by the Maharashtra
Government if they really wanted a United State.
"Once separate Telangana State is formed we would blast the project as
it is responsible for turning most of the fertile land in Telangana
into a desert,'' the MLA said.
He told students that once Telangana State was carved out, people from
the district need not go to the Gulf in search of employment as
thousands of jobs would be created here by reopening factories like
Fertiliser Corporation of India Limited at Ramagundam.
He maintained that UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi should stick to her
Telangana stand otherwise people in the region wouldn't accept her.
Warangal: Kakatiya University students' relay hunger strike entered
12th day today.
Students of Subedari Arts and Science College and PG college in
Hanamkonda have been on fast separately. Meanwhile, relay hunger
strikes by advocates entered 10th day today.
Several voluntary organisations are also on relay strikes in the
district headquarters. A big rally was taken out under the aegis of
Poultry, Chicken Centres Association expressing their solidarity with
the students. In Regonda mandal headquarters, JAC staged a rasta roko
and stopped vehicles for two hours.
Meanwhile, a public meeting of suppressed castes, tribes and
minorities on Telangana will be organised in Warangal on January 17,
according to SC, ST and Minorities Association district convener Manda
Kumar Madiga and Thipparapu Lakshman Madiga.
Stating that the Centre has relegated it to the cold storage, they
appealed to them not to rest until Telangana State was formed.
In Bacchannapet mandal headquarters, women staged a rasta roko by
placing 'bonalu and bathukammas' on the road demanding separate
Telangana.
