Pranab Mukherjee former President pointed out how KCR as a leader was different from others who led mass movements.

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.
