"However, until after six years of the Telangana dream came true, nothing great has been done in return by the government, he alleged.
The release said Sonia Gandhi made a promise to create separate Telangana if Congress comes into power during the 2004 elections.
It said despite huge opposition against the formation of Telangana from certain sections, Sonia Gandhi "showed great dedication, conviction and commitment towards her promise given to the people of Telangana".
"For the great contribution and commitment, it is our prime responsibility to honour Sonia Gandhi for a memorable gift given to all of us. Although KCR is the first beneficiary of the separate state, he didn't show any interest to respect Sonia Gandhi. Therefore, I humbly request the government of Telangana to initiate the process on our request as soon as possible", he said. (ANI)
