Sarve faces Telangana heat at JAC-led all-party meet
The all-party meeting convened by Telangana political JAC to seek support for the non-cooperation movement from Thursday led to heated exchanges and fisticuffs between the supporters of Congress MP Sarve Satyanrayana, and the employees and TRS supporters.The trouble began when the MP resorted to showering praises on AICC president Sonia Gandhi and felt that since the Centre had already made a statement in “favour” of separate Telangana on December 9, there was no need for any agitation. He also added that T state would be formed by December 9, 2011.
The employee union leaders, including the TNGO president K Swamy Goud, interrupted him and said that they had not come to hear political lectures and the meeting was convened to seek the support of people’s representatives for the non-cooperation movement that would begin on Thursday.But the MP did not relent and said that instead of such movement, the employees should mount pressure on TRS chief K Chandrasekhar Rao to meet Sonia Gandhi and ask her to bifurcate the state. If Sonia refuses to do so then the Congress MPs will quit the party and will work with the TRS, he said.
At this stage, TRS floor leader E Rajender and Nayini Narsimha Reddy retorted saying that they do not need his suggestion on how to get Telangana state. This led to shouting of slogans by the employees against the MP. They also demanded that the MP leave the venue. Taken aback, the MP shouted back saying that he would not join them or extend his support to the non-cooperation movement. The situation returned to normalcy only after the JAC leaders intervened and pacified both the groups. The MP, however, left the place.Meanwhile, TRS chief K Chandrasekhar Rao, addressing Telangana electricity employees JAC, called upon the people to participate in the non-cooperation movement untill the Centre introduces a bill in Parliament to bifurcate the state.
