KCR scared of Telangana history: Krishna Saagar Rao

Hyderabad: BJP Telangana State, Chief Spokesperson, K Krishna Saagar Rao said that Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao is scared of Telangana history.

In a statement here on Monday, he said KCR is scared that if the day of the liberation of Telangana from the foreign oppressor is celebrated on September 17, it would harm his political interest with AIMIM party.

However, KCR should know that whoever tried twisting and manipulating history have paid a huge price. The sacrifices of thousands, who died fighting against the atrocities of Nizam and his private militia Razakars shouldn't go unremembered.

But, the TRS chief wishes to undermine those who had sacrificed and laid down their lives for a cause larger than self for petty political interests, he criticised. Rao said that the TRS should be ashamed of its petty political game for MIM appeasement.

It will go down in history, as a party which disrespected the sacrifices of Telangana freedom fighters during the Nizam's regime.

BJP will ensure September 17 will be officially declared and celebrated as 'Telangana Liberation Day', once it comes to power in the State.

The party will also ensure a deserving memorial is built for those who fought against Nizam and Razakars, he added.
