Popular balladeer Ghaddar has made it clear that his proposed political party the Telangana Praja Front was not seeking to be an alternative to the Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) but was a platform on which different organisations fighting for Telangana state will be brought together.
Popular balladeer Ghaddar on Saturday formally launched a new party Telangana Praja Front with the slogan of "self respect, self rule and equal rights". Ghaddar made it clear that TPF will not be a mere political party but a 'political force' with the sole aim of achieving a separate state of Telangana. "It was not the electoral politics which forced the Congress to act on Telangana. It was the agitation by the students and the youth," he said.
Telugu Desam Party leaders from Telangana on Thursday began a bus tour to create an "awakening" among the people of the region on the creation of a separate state.
