Pranab Mukherjee former President pointed out how KCR as a leader was different from others who led mass movements.
In his book, Pranab recalled that Shibu Soren, chief of the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, had asked for a second Cabinet berth when he was offered one after the UPA was formed.
But when it comes to the chief of the Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS), K Chandrashekar Rao had made it clear in the corridors of power that a separate Telangana State was all that he desired.
“In the context of TRS’s participation in the UPA, KCR told me ‘Pranab ji, you know my ambition; I want a separate Telangana. Whichever portfolio you give to me is not important.
Whatever you give, I will accept. But, for God’s sake, please consider a separate Telangana’,” wrote Pranab.
