Meanwhile, representatives of different ST, SC and Minorities organisations and some students of Osmania University called on Gadar to convince him to contest the by-elections. During the meeting, which lasted for



an hour, the organisation said that the TRS Government has been implementing anti-people and anti-farmers policies and the weaker and poorer sections of the society did not benefit from the formation of Telangana State.

However, he said he would continue to create awareness among the people through non-political forums.
