All these posters and hoardings were being put up after former Union Minister P Chidambaram apologised for the loss of Telangana youngsters lives during separate State agitation.

The Congress had assured separate Statehood for Telangana in 2004 and took a ‘U’ turn and constituted different committees eventually delaying the process. This forced many youngsters to commit suicide during the agitation.

Osmania University students had also staged protests at Martyrs Memorial and Telangana martyr Srikantha Chari’s statue, LB Nagar junction against the Congress.

They said the Congress does not have the moral right to seek votes in Telangana.

The ruling BRS also said that Telangana would never forget nor forgive the Congress for its brutalities on the people.
