Rail Roko Cases Caste-Based: Ponnam
Ponnam Prabhakar has alleged that the government has targeted leaders
from the SC, ST and Backward Classes, to dilute the statehood
agitation.
20th Oct, 2011: Karimnagar MP Ponnam Prabhakar on Thursday stated that
he would lodge a complaint with the Congress High Command against
Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy for allegedly making attempts to
file cases against MPs during the Telangana rail roko.
Talking to media persons, Ponnam Prabhakar alleged that the state
government primarily targeted elected representatives who belonged to
SC, ST and Backward Classes, levelling baseless charges against them
to dilute the statehood agitation.
He said that 3 MPs - G Sukender, Rajaiah and himself - will complain
to the High Command against the Chief Minister's "attitude" towards
Telangana leaders.
The MP said that the elected representatives from Telangana in the
Congress would convene a meeting at Exhibition Grounds on 22 October
to chalk out the future course of action. He said that the leaders
have also decided to boycott the Andhra Pradesh State Formation Day
celebrations on 1 November.
Ponnam Prabhakar also condemned AICC official spokesperson Renuka
Chowdary for speaking on behalf of the Seemandhra region.
Hailing Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh's statement that he was
confident of reaching a win-win situation for all concerned through
consultations over Telangana statehood, he appealed to the PM to
announce a roadmap for statehood.
Reacting sarcastically to the BJP's promise of Telangana by 2014, he
questioned why the BJP hadn't thought of Telangana during the NDA
regime.
He also condemned Medak MP Vijayashanti's statement that only the BJP
could give a Telangana state if it comes to power.
"Is she saying that the people of the region must wait till the next
election in 2014?" he asked.
MPs Gutta Sukender Reddy and S Rajaiah also attended the press conference. (INN)
