"Congress is not depending on any other party," said another leader and former minister D. Sridhar Babu. He is confident that people of Telangana will back Congress as they know the role played by the party in carving out the separate state.
The Congress leaders said the party did not create Telangana state for votes and seats. "We sacrificed our government. We expelled our MPs from the party because the party president wanted to fulfill the promise made to people of Telangana," Sridhar said.
Shabbir criticised TRS leader for keeping quiet in parliament during the debate on Telangana bill. He also reminded him of his promise that a Dalit will be the first chief minister of the state.
