The hegemony of Congress, the tyranny of Congress, the injustice perpetrated by successive Congress government and eventually political exigency of Congress party in 2014, the compulsion that was conferred on them by people of Telangana. We have to write a long story. So if Congress is prepared for that, we have no problem. We could consider inclusion. Because, all suicides that have happened, struggles that have happened and all injustices that have happened is in Congress regime”.
