Pragathi Nivedana Sabha: Telangana turns pink ahead of mega TRS rally

New Delhi:

Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao on Sunday urged people of the state not to become the “slaves of Delhi parties” and appealed them to give power to the regional parties like Tamil Nadu.

Addressing a massive gathering during the Telangana Rashtra Samithi’s (TRS) ‘Pragathi Nivedana Sabha’, organised by his party,on the outskirts of Hyderabad, Rao said, "Just like in Tamil Nadu, we should also make sure that power is vested in our hands for self-respect rather than Delhi leadership dictating our state... don't become slaves to Delhi parties.”

During the massive rally which was held to commemorate the 4th anniversary of Telangana's formation, KCR hinted at the early Assembly elections in the state but kept the suspense whether it will be before 2019 general elections.

"Ministers and the party leaders have entrusted me with the responsibility of taking a decision on the issue in the larger interest of the state. I will tell you when I take a decision," he said.

Hours before the massive rally, a cabinet meeting headed by CM Rao was held but reports suggested that no decision was made regarding the dissolution of the Telangana assembly.

Here are the highlights of TRS Pragathi Nivedana Sabha:
