The fortnight-old Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) received a boost when the Congress MLA, Mr. R. Papa Rao, came out openly to declare support to it, saying he was ``frustrated'' by his party high command's delaying tactics on the Telangana statehood issue.
Mr. Papa Rao said he was disappointed by the AICC's is delay. It was seven months since the party legislators submitted a memorandum. But for announcing a sub-committee, led by Mr. Pranab Mukherji, no firm action was taken. Repeated reminders by the 41 legislators evoked no proper response. This was despite the fact that both the APCC president, Mr. M. Satyanarayana Rao, and the CLP leader, Dr. Y. S. Rajasekhar Reddy, were in ``favour'', he claimed.
