TRS expects Telangana decision in two weeks

Telangana separatist party TRS chief K Chandrasekhara Rao (KCR) has indicated that a positive decision on Telangana statehood issue will be taken in about two weeks.

He appreciated the Telangana Congress leaders for their “daring and sacrificial” decision to quit their positions.

“As per the information I have from Delhi, the Centre is likely to take a positive decision on Telangana in about two weeks from now. The credit for stepping up pressure on the Centre for taking a decision on the issue goes to the Congress leaders, who have tendered their resignations. Their names will permanently go into the history of Telangana,” KCR said, while speaking at a 48-hour fasting camp organised by MPs, MLAs and MLCs of the Congress.

Meanwhile, rail traffic in Telangana was badly affected on Thursday as supporters disrupted trains across the region. Raising pro-Telangana slogans, the activists of TRS, BJP, TDP and others squatted on the railway tracks at various places. “We demand that the Centre immediately announce formation of Telangana state with a time-frame,” Telangana supporters said.
