Telangana Jagruti, the cultural wing of the TRS, on Monday threatened to vandalise the statues of the Telugu luminaries' on the Tank Bund once again if they are re-installed before the creation of Telangana state. I think it is not enough that they have brought the black spot on Hyderabad and the Deccani Tehzeeb. Even though those statues were of the eminent personalities from Andhra, but they are the ones who have contributed a lot to Andhra Pradesh and demolishing the statues is like demolishing your own values which TRS is known for. Hyderabad or the Telangana is not the jaagir of TRS Chief KCR. It belongs to the people living here.
After undertaking a rally on the Tank Bund here on Monday, Telangana Jagruti president and TRS president K Chandrasekhar Rao's daughter Kavita said, no statue should be re-installed until the new state is created. "Our activists will not hesitate to demolish those statues if they are installed before T state is formed," Kavita said and added that this was the T Jagruti's view and not necessarily of her father KCR's or that of the TRS.
Led by Kavita, about 50 members of the Jagruti and Telangana Writers Association took out a "Swabhimaana Yatra" from Katta Mysamma temple on the Lower Tank Bund road to Potana statue demanding the government to not to re-install the vandalised statues.
Addressing the gathering, she said after the formation of Telangana, the people of new state would decide which statues should be installed on the Tank Bund. She should first be treated for her mental imbalance.
Telangana Writers Association members Deshapati Srinivas, S Srinivas Singidi and J Gowrishankar said the writers association will organise a meeting with all Telangana writers next week and finalise the names of the Telangana luminaries whose statues should be installed. The association will also hold a series of meetings in every district from next month to condemn the 'onslaught on Telangana culture' by the Andhra people.
Meanwhile, Andhra writers and intellectuals on Monday demanded that all the demolished statues be re-installed immediately.
