K Kavitha was reacting to Rahul Gandhi's remark on having family ties with Telangana.
Hitting out at Congress MP Rahul Gandhi's statement on having "family ties" with Telangana, Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) MLC K Kavitha on Friday said that the relationship Gandhi family has with the state is of betrayal.
While addressing party workers' meeting in Nizamabad, Ms Kavitha said, "Today Rahul Gandhi came to Jagital and made tall claims. He said that he has a relationship with Telangana since his grandmother's time and father's time. I totally agree with him (Rahul Gandhi) that he has family ties with Telangana."
She added, "It was Jawaharlal Nehru who forcefully merged us into Andhra Pradesh and killed our aspirations. In 1969, when we demanded a separate state, 369 students were shot by Indira Gandhi. Later, Rajiv Gandhi hurt Telangana's self-respect. Sonia Gandhi promised to give Telangana in 2009 but took it back and many Telangana children died. You have a hand in it."
