If the Governor wants to play politics she should quit Raj Bhavan. Without knowing the history of Telangana she was making irrelevant comments regarding the merger of Hyderabad State into the Indian Union, he said.
Communists made great sacrifices in merging Telangana into the Indian Union, but BJP and other parties were trying to claim the credit. Congress wanted the merger but its role was limited to peaceful agitations. It was the communists who launched an armed struggle against the Nizam rule and liberated around 3000 villages, the CPI leader explained.
Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel banned RSS and it was an RSS activist who killed Mahatma Gandhi, then what relation does the BJP had with Patel and Gandhi, Sambasiva Rao sought to know.
He demanded the government to install statues of communists, Ravi Narayana Reddy, Makhdoom Mohiuddin and Baddam Yella Reddy on tank bund in Hyderabad, besides building a museum in memory of the martyrs.
