Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao had brushed away these claims and said that his party, the Telangana Rashtra Samhiti and the reds had the same idea of socio-economic development and problems would not arise.
However, latest developments show otherwise.
Left-wing extremists conducted the first plenary of the CPI (Maoist), Telangana State Committee, recently and sent a press note to media personnel expressing their views on various issues and the ruling establishment in Telangana.
