The Praja Rajyam chief Chiranjeevi stated on Friday that he would not come in the way of statehood for Telangana.
Releasing his party’s statement, Chiranjeevi was evasive when it came to specifying whether his party would do anything to achieve a separate state. Instead, he put the onus on the Centre.
Analysts see this as a ploy to forge alliances with Telangana parties without losing the support of voters in Andhra, among whom Chiranjeevi has more clout.
The megastar stated his nuanced approach to the vexed issue during his Praja Ankitha Yatra at Jagatial, a Congress citadel.
He criticised the Congress for its “betrayal” of the people of Telangana since 1969. In an indirect reference to the Congress president, Mrs Sonia Gandhi, he alleged that those leaders who wore kanduvas of Telangana activists and sought a mandate on the statehood issue failed to achieve anything in the last four years.
