“I strongly condemn the comments made by the Prime Minister and they are objectionable. Whenever there is an opportunity Mr. Modi has been spewing venom against Telangana. He is unable to digest the development of Telangana and may be fearing we may surpass Gujarat,” said Mr. Harish Rao while participating in the awareness programme on Dalit Bandhu held at Potharam J village in Husnabad constituency in Siddipet district on Tuesday. He said that had Telangana been carved out early, so may suicides of the youth for separate state would not have occurred.
