He challenged Azad for a debate on the issue to present the facts of seperate statehood movement before people of Telangana state. He pointed out that the Congress was forced to concede to the demand of a separate Telangana state due to efforts of TRS which convinced 32 political to support the separate Telangana agitation. “Congress leaders got accustomed to speak lies for electoral gains and blame TRS for their mistakes in the past. Azad is no exception,” he averred. 

He said notwithstanding the false propaganda of Congress, people voted for TRS declaring their support for torchbearer of Telangana struggle. He opined that TRS will be voted to power again for its development and welfare programmes initiated by Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao.
