Vijayawada MP Lagadapati Rajagopal is also following the example of minister TG Venkatesh. While T G Venkatesh linked terrorism to Telangana and said separate 'T' state would further boost terrorism, Rajagopal took a step forward and said the present terror strikes were due to the Telangana movement.
He said the entire time of the police force was being wasted in handling the agitation and attacks of the Telangana activists, resulting in terrorists using the laxity and strike at will. He lamented that several innocent lives were being lost because of this laxity. He said while separatist movement was violent, integrationist movement was silent. Still the power of that silence would be known at an appropriate time, he cautioned.
He said if an announcement was made about state division, the integrationist movement would rise like a massive tide. Referring to the questions being raised by Telangana protagonists on whose property Hyderabad was, Rajagopal said integrationists must say Hyderabad was their property.
He said a majority of the 8 crore population of the state was for keeping the state united and even people of the Telangana region were not trusting KCR’s words. Stating that BJP, CPI and TDP which sent resolutions demanding bifurcation of the state, however became silent, after watching the intensity of the integrationist movement.
