Vote us to power at the Centre, we will create a separate Telangana in 100 days". That was what Advani promised at a huge Bharatiya Janata Party rally in Hyderabad.
Speaking at a huge gathering at the Parade Ground as part of his nationwide Vijay Sankalp Yatra, Advani urged the people of Andhra Pradesh to cast each and every vote in favour of the BJP and the National Democratic Alliance to ensure the formation of Telangana state.
"The BJP will keep its word and fulfil the promise of the formation of the Telangana state," he said, adding that he will move the bill in Parliament with in hundred days of taking the reigns of power.
At the same time Advani wanted the people of the state to make the Congress party accountable for its failure in fulfilling the promise of Telangana made in the 2004 elections. "They sought vote in the name of Telangana, but betrayed. The people of Telangana are never going to forget this betrayal," he said.
