"A minister by name Jairam Ramesh came (to Hyderabad) yesterday. He said I am personally against the formation of Telangana. How can he insult Telangana sitting in Hyderabad,our land. How painful we feel, if a central minister speaks like this," Rao had said.
He was also critical of the move to give some villages, allegedly facing submergence due to Polavaram multi-purpose irrigation project, to Seemandhra.
"We also felt that we should work together (with Congress) if there is respect and be good. The issue will be settled in a few days. We have a party meeting on March 3.
All important leaders would be there. I cannot individually decide. Let's take a decision in the state party meeting. Whatever is good for Telangana, we will take that route," the TRS president had said.
