2010/10/29 10:19:29 K.Taraka Rama Rao the senior TRS leader and s/o TRS president K.Chandrasekhar Rao has declared that, one day they are going to demolish all the statues of Andhra leaders those installed across Telangana region. Even before hours of his controversial statement, two unidentified persons entered Telugu University campus in Hyderabad and set fire to Potti Sri Ramulu statue. They first poured diesel on the statue and then set ablaze. As soon as they finish their job, they quickly disappeared among the crowds. Security personal rushed to the spot and extinguished the flames. But, by the time the statue was damaged very badly. What a pity that a noble man like Sri Potti Sri Ramulu, who sacrificed his life for getting a separate state for Telugu speaking people, is now seen as a villain by TRS leaders!
TRS party leaders make up their minds either by hook or crook to keep the fire live . They keep provoking the others with their provocative statements and deeds. Yet the government was not in a position to take any action against anyone. The way TRS and its associates are behaving makes entire people of the state feel ashamed of their deeds. Never minding about the worsening relationship between Telangana and rest of the state TRS is going ahead with its provocative ideas. Already, there was an unhealthy situation prevailing in and around twin cities. Now, this kind of hatred that they are spreading around may further worsen the situation and adversely affect the relationship between the people.
The TRS and pro Telangana leaders may regret for their deeds in future, because if Telangana is separated from the state, then they have the same neighbors whom they are insulting now and need to seek their co operation in many aspects until Telangana takes a full shape of a state.
Unknown miscreants set fire to two bogies of the Manuguru passenger today. The miscreants first set fire to the last bogie of the train by sprinkling petrol and setting it alight.
The fire spread to the second bogie too. Both the bogies have been burnt down completely. The passengers got down from the bogies just before they were set on fire and so there were no causalities.
It is not clear if this was the handiwork of some ‘T’ agitators.
