Paralyse Telangana administration from Sep 13, says TRS

HYDERABAD: The strike by all sections of people in support of separate Telangana, scheduled to take off from September 13, should be carried out in such a way to paralyse the administration, TRS chief K Chandrasekhar Rao said here today.

"We should send across a message to Delhi that entire Telangana is paralysed (with the strike)," he said, addressing the Telangana Recognised Schools Management Association (TRSMA).

The members of TRSMA should participate in the strike to make it a grand success, Rao said.

Education sector would get priority and the recognised schools would be taken care of after the formation of separate Telangana state, he said.

The TRS chief expressed fear that Telangana will be targeted and harassed by non-Telangana regions if the separate statehood goal is not realised now.

Meanwhile, K Vithal, a leader of Telangana employees union, said Andhra Pradesh ministers from Telangana should take responsibility if the employees faced action for participating in the strike.

Congress Rajya Sabha member K Keshav Rao, a leader of the Telangana Congress steering committee, expressed hope that some positive development would take place with regard to the formation of separate Telangana by September 17, the day the erstwhile Nizam state was merged with Indian Union.

He said the Telangana Congress would start "action" if no positive development came by the end of September.
