Telangana Praja Front would work for statehood: Gaddar

Hyderabad, Oct 10 (PTI) Revolutionary balladeer and folk artist Gaddar today said his 'Telangana Praja Front' would work with the aim of introduction of a bill in Parliament for the formation of separate Telangana. "The aim of the Front is tabling a bill in Parliament for the formation of separate Telangana. We believe it is possible through people's movements," he told reporters. The steering committee of the Front, comprising 85 members, would meet on October 14 to take decisions on all issues, he said. Gaddar launched 'Telangana Praja Front' yesterday which he said is not a party but a political front to fight for separate Telangana. "We will grow politically and fight for separate Telangana statehood. Telangana can be achieved through people's movements and agitations only," Gaddar said in his speech during the formal launch of the front here yesterday. Meanwhile, some Congress leaders took exception to Gaddar's criticism of their party. "When the aim of all is to achieve separate Telangana, then it is better if criticism against each other is avoided," senior Congress MLA K Jana Reddy said.
