Hyderabad, Feb, 19: Senior TRS leaders Etela Rajender and Nayini Narasimha Reddy here on Sunday appealed to the people of the region to bury both the Congress and Telugu Desam parties for incorporating separate Telangana in their manifestoes and changing their stands later. 

Speaking to media persons in Telangana Bhavan after finalizing candidates for the ensuing Assembly elections, the TRS leaders appealed to the people of the region to teach the fraudulent Congress and Telugu Desam parties a fitting lesson and make them realize their folly of changing their tune on separate Telangana. 

Describing the ensuing by-elections as holy war for Telangana self-respect, they appealed to the people to elect the TRS candidates and proclaim Telangana sentiment once again. The nominees of the fraudulent Congress and TDP should forfeit their deposits in the elections, they added. They also described the TDP as the party of Andhra capitalists.
