Hyderabad: Telangana BJP today again demanded that the TRS government celebrate September 17 officially as Telangana Liberation Day.
Speaking to the media after party committee meeting on Wednesday, BJP Telangana Liberation committee chairman N Srivardhan Reddy recalled that Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao had promised to celebrate September 17 as Telangana Liberation Day officially during Telangana agitation. But now, the CM under the pressure from MIM did not bother to celebrate the day officially hurting self-respect of Telangana people, he said.
The BJP leader said Karnataka and Maharashtra States were celebrating September 17 as Telangana Liberation Day, but the Telangana State government was indulging in vote bank politics by not celebrating the day officially, Reddy alleged. Committee convenor CH Swami Goud said his party would mount pressure on the State government by organising seminars, meetings of intellectuals and artistes.
The meeting was attended by senior leader Nallu Indrasen Reddy, committee joint convenors Adelli Ravinder, Gujja Satyanarayana, K Satyanarayana, state media committee convenor V Sudhakar sharma and others. (NSS)
