Hyderabad: Telangana Rashtriya Samiti chief K Chandrashekhar Rao arrived to a brimming-pink Hyderabad from New Delhi on Wednesday evening, triumphant from a ‘mission accomplished’ – a separate state of Telangana. Rao had vowed to return to the city only after the Telangana Bill was passed in Parliament.
The TRS made massive arrangements to welcome him and thousands of party workers and Telangana supporters gathered in Hyderabad from different Telangana districts to participate in a victory rally from Begumpet airport to the Telangana martyrs' memorial near the state Assembly. Huge cut-outs of the leader was placed on the route of the victory rally. Rao is seen as largely the man responsible for the formation of Telangana.
TRS leaders also arranged horses and camels for a traditional welcome for their leaders. As scores of TRS activists and supporters showered flower petals on him, the TRS president wished them as he moved slowly towards the Telangana martyrs' memorial.
Speaking to reporters about a merger or tie-up with Congress, TRS MLA and Chandrasekhar Rao's son K T Rama Rao said that it is a historic occasion for TRS and that the party would first like to see formalities related to AP's bifurcation to be completed.
