Hyderabad: Taking a cue from the ruling TRS party, Congress party too posed questions over Central Government’s discrimination towards Telangana to union Home Minister Amit Shah, who arrived in the city on Saturday to participate in a party programme. TPCC president Revanth Reddy wrote an open letter to the union Home Minister and raised nine questions on different issues.

As per the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, the UPA Government promised to set up ITIR, Railway Coach Factory and Bayyaram Steel Factory in Telangana.
