The re-launch of the Telangana movement announced by the Telangana Political Joint Action committee (TJAC) has exposed the widening rift between the action committee and TRS with the latter claiming that they were not consulted on the issue. However, TJAC chairman M Kodandaram on Monday denied any such rift and said they would conduct a meeting with TRS leaders soon on the issue.

However, TJAC's unilateral decision to the re-launch the agitation seems to have not gone well with TRS supremo K Chandrashekar Rao. "TJAC did not invite the TRS for the meeting when the plans for the agitation were finalised. However, we appreciate their efforts to revive the separate Telangana agitation. The TRS politburo will take a decision on mode of its participation in the movement soon," said Etela Rajendra, TRS floor leader in the legislative assembly.

The latest political developments, which are apparently drawing the YSR Congress closer to the Congress because of which the announcement on Telangana might be put off, has made the TRS jittery and is actively considering reviving the agitation. "Reports of our differences with the TRS are baseless. We will invite all the political parties supporting the Telangana cause and the TRS will not be an exception. Since we are into preparatory works, we did not speak to the political leaders. We will do so subsequently," said M Kodandaram, chairman of TJAC.

The TJAC is planning to conduct a 'Chalo Hyderabad' protest on the lines of Tahrir Square agitation in Egypt on September 30. Kodandaram said the TJAC was trying to re-group its rank and file for the forthcoming agitation. A steering committee has been appointed to mobilize the support accordingly, meetings would be held in Hyderabad and Nalgonda on August 2 and 3 respectively.

Kodandaram said the preparatory works would continue till August 15 and the agitation would tentatively start on the independence day with activities like padayatra at district level that would culminate in Chalo Hyderabad on September 30.
