Accusing both the national parties of doing injustice to Telangana, the Minister said Congress Party had ruled the united Andhra Pradesh for a majority of years but ignored the interests of Telangana and its development. He further said that the Congress Party has also delayed the formation of the Telangana which cost many lives and development in the State.

Apart from denying the funds to Telangana, Rao said that the BJP-headed union government was resorting to false propaganda on Telangana. Accusing the Centre of copying the many welfare schemes, the Minister said that they were claiming them as their own. He further said that the Telangana state had witnessed more development in the past eight years than it had experienced in the previous seven decades.

Unless Telangana was created, Rao said that Siddipet would not have achieved so much transformation within a short period of time.
