Senior congress leader V Hanumanth Rao says he was not in race for the Medak parliament ticket. ‘I have lost all my resources in the last elections. I do not dare to contest for parliament now’ he said.

He said Telengana government was totally neglecting development of sports and sportsmen on par with the AP govt. ‘Though we have skilled sportsmen and sports facilities and infrastructure there is no proper policy and promotion at the state and district levels’, he said and that Hyderabad be developed as a sports city.

He also hailed the house hold survey and also welcomed the negotiating table policy of both the CM’s of AP and Telangana. ‘It is time to sink differences and implement people oriented policies and steps’.
