Telangana Rashtra Samithi president K Chandrasekhar Rao on Thursday said his party would step up the agitation for separate Telangana statehood and against 'Hyderabad free zone' issue.
Rao held a meeting with his party's senior leaders and Telangana protagonists on Thursday on the future course of action to be adopted on the fight for Telangana and also on the 'free zone' issue.
The party's polit bureau would meet tomorrow to discuss the issue.
Rao had on Wednesday threatened to launch a fast-unto-death if separate Telangana statehood demand is not conceded by next month.
TRS organised a 'jail bharo' agitation demanding that the government make a constitutional amendment to protect the interests of Telangana in the wake of Supreme Court verdict declaring Hyderabad as a 'free zone' for police recruitment.
The police department has been divided into various zones for the purpose of recruitment. 'Free zone' means people from all parts of the state can be recruited in Hyderabad. The TRS contends that declaring Hyderabad as a 'free zone' would adversely affect job opportunities for Telangana youths.
TRS would also spell out its stand on the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation elections, scheduled to be held next month, tomorrow, Rao said.
