Telangana JAC Chairman Kodandaram has criticized Telugu Mahasabhalu as a symbolism of United Andhra Pradesh Spirit. He went on to say there is no difference between earlier conferences and this one as they happened without a direction.
He also went on to say the government has ignored everyone who fought for Telangana movement like Gaddar, Vimalakka, Ande Sri etc. He found fault with the government saying that they will be invited to the next conference.
Telugu Academy Chairman Nandini Siddhareddy criticized Kodandaram saying that he does not know anything about literature. Incidentally, Siddhareddy was also barred from entry to the conference on one day since he does not have ‘Pass’.
