Telangana IT Minister K Taraka Ram Rao has given a subtle warning to AP CM Nara Chandrababu Naidu. Addressing the Assembly a couple of days ago, CBN made a mention of Arjun Jaitley’s ‘sentiments will not increase the quantum of funds’. In his counter, CBN said, isn’t it true that because of sentiment only Telangana was given?
The same has been posted on CBN’s official Twitter handle; @ncbn. Reacting on this, KTR said that they fought for Telangana, and never flip-flopped their demand for statehood.
He also made it clear that, during the Telangana movement, the Centre has offered a special package, and they were never settled with them. KTR requested Chandrababu Naidu not to belittle and undermine the struggle and sacrifices of people of Telangana.
Looking from KTR’s point of view, one can feel that, what he has said is absolutely true. In fact, when the Centre said that, it would give Special Package to AP instead of granting Special Category Status, Chandrababu Naidu and his team of ministers readily agreed. From that very moment, the Centre said that it would not grant the Special Category Status.
