People of Telangana will not be calm if Hyderabad is made a union territory, said TRS leader Harish Rao on Wednesday.

Responding to media reports about a proposal to make Hyderabad a Union Territory, he said: “Seemandhra leaders are behaving as if they won’t let anyone benefit from it if they cannot get it.”

We will intensify Telangana movement if Hyderabad is made a UT, the TRS leader asserted. Joining the chorus, another leader Etela Rajender said that the union territory demand is not the wish of Seemandhra leaders, but that of investors.

Lashing out at CM Kiran Kumar Reddy, Etela said that he did not deserve to rule Telangana people if he could not do justice to them. Referring to the police permission granted to the APNGOs meeting in Hyderabad, he said that the government is spreading hatred among people by allowing such rallies. He advised the APNGOs to conduct meetings either in Vijayawada or Guntur if they wished.

He said government should bear the responsibility for consequences of such meetings.
