T-employees, heartbeat of TS agitation

Deccan Chronicle  

HYDERABAD: The tagline for the next phase of Telangana statehood agitation spearheaded by TRS president K. Chandrashekar Rao was 'neellu, nidhulu, niyamakaalu". All these factors led to severe resentment among Telangana employees, who joined hands with KCR to achieve statehood for Telangana with a strong belief that they will get justice only if Telangana state is formed. Based on a call given by Telangana Political Joint Action Committee, Telangana employees unions joined the historic "Sakala Janula Samme" in 2011. The TNGO existed from the time of Nizam rule, as ‘Telangana Sarkari Mulazim Union.’ The agitation was going on but when KCR floated TRS for the purpose of achieving statehood for Telangana, the movement gathered pace.” he added, “People were vexed with Andhra rulers. For the first time in history about six lakh employees, including contract and outsourcing staff, took part in the pen-down strike, which continued till then Union home minister P. Chidambaram’s statement in favour of statehood to Telangana on December 9, 2009.” Narender Rao, Telangana Secretariat Employees Association, leader said, “There was a clear discrimination against Telangana employees in the undivided state.
