Siddipet: Leader of the Opposition in Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge on Friday said Telangana State was created with the efforts of AICC president Sonia Gandhi. The veteran Congress leader said Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao was enjoying the fruits after reneging on his promise to merge Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) with Congress.

Addressing the Dalit Girijana Dandora in Gajwel on Friday, he said Dalits and tribals were not getting due opportunities in the State. Promising to give opportunities proportionate to the population of SCs and STs in Telangana, Kharge said the Congress will ensure more opportunities to the backward classes.
