Later, talking to reporters Forum's convenor Errabelli Dayakar Rao announced that the TDP leaders from the region would burn the effigies of the Prime Minister and Congress president Sonia Gandhi in the headquarters of all 10 districts in Telangana.
Errabelli requested all pro-Telangana parties and leaders to join the TDT Forum in the agitation. He specifically requested the Telangana Rashtra Samithi to support the agitation. He said that the Prime Minister's statement is a clear indication that the UPA Government was against granting statehood agitation and have been delaying the decision on the issue citing lack of consensus as the reason.
The TDT Forum convenor accused the TRS of not being sincere towards the statehood cause. "TRS president K Chandrasekhar Rao has been targeting the Prime Minister, Union Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad and other leaders over the issue. But has maintained a questionable silence over Sonia Gandhi's role in the entire episode," Errabelli said. Describing Dr Manmohan Singh as a 'puppet', he said the Prime Minister has been doing and saying what he has been asked to do by Sonia Gandhi.
