Telangana – Violence and Protest

One end there is celebration time of the TRS Chief K Chandrasekhar, for the resolution passed for new Telangana state formation and coming back to health after 11 days.

Now the political crisis has taken a complete U turn which was not accepted by Congress to happen.  With the number of resignation add to 117 for the non-formation of Telangana state and decision taken by the center.

Add to the number here for non-support of Telangana state, has come 117 and major from Congress, TDP and PRP for 294 assembly seats.  This lead to many institutions, colleges, shops and establishments to stay closed.

Due to the decision by the Congress, many APSRTC buses were stopped, 13 districts of Andhra and Rayalseema are closed. n the coastal city of Visakhapatnam, and commercial hubs like Guntur, Vijayawada, Machilipatnam, Nellore, Kurnool and Kadapa, roads wore a deserted look as the APSRTC suspended all bus services. 

Protesters conducted rallies raising slogans against the proposed formation of a separate Telangana state and demanded that the central government drop the proposal.

The Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) plans to conduct a victory rally in Telangana districts to celebrate the announcement by the central government that the process of forming a separate state would be initiated by tabling a resolution in the state assembly.
