TRS chief decides 'bus yatra' in Telangana

The chief of Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS), K. Chandrasekhara Rao has planned to undertake a 'bus yatra' in Telangana accompanied by fears that Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government may back off on its decision to initiate the process for separate statehood to the region.

In spite of the doctor’s advice to take rest, Rao plans to launch the campaign Monday, covering Hyderabad and nine other districts of Telangana. Party president decided to undertake the 'bus yatra'.

According to the sources, a team of five family physicians of K. Chandrasekhara Rao would accompany him. K. Chandrasekhara Rao who had 11-day fast, the central government agreed to initiate the process for the formation of Telangana.
The TRS politburo would meet Sunday to decide the map of KCR's bus journey, venues of the public meetings and other details.

KCR has warned of a 'bloodbath' and 'calamity' if the government backtracked. However, a majority of the people of Andhra Pradesh were against the state's division.

The ruling Congress and Praja Rajyam Party (PRP) leaders are on a indefinite fast against the state’s break-up at several places in Andhra Pradesh.
With the two regions accounting for 175 seats in 294-member assembly, the Telangana resolution is bound to be defeated.

KCR claims that there was no need for moving a resolution in the assembly to form the new state. He threatened to initiate contempt of court against those demanding the resolution in the assembly, pointing out that when Gujarat was carved out of Maharashtra, the Supreme Court ruled that there was no need for passing a resolution in the assembly.
