Prof. Kodandaram distorting history: Suman

TRS MP Suman today took objection to JAC Chairman Prof. Kodandaram for saying Telangana was achieved due to sacrifices by the students alone.

Addressing the media here today, Suman alleged that Prof. Kodandaram was trying to distort the history of the statehood movement. TRS supremo K Chandrasekhar Rao made Prof. Kodandaram as Telangana Joint Action Committee Chairman for the cause of statehood. Therefore, it is wrong on the part of Prof. Kodandaram for attributing the statehood to just students’ role. He also pointed out that KCR transformed many students as leaders and “I became an MP”, he claimed.

Suman hastened to add that all sections of people supported the statehood movement followed by the protracted struggle by KCR and his team of people resulted in the formation of the new State”. Suman also found fault with the Telangana Telugu Desam working president Revanth Reddy for making remarks against IT Minister KT Rama Rao for taking selfies. Taking selfies was not wrong as Prime Minister Narendra Modi, AP Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu are also taking selfies, he said. Revanth should tell what development works he got completed so far in his Kodangal constituency. (NSS)
