The students of Osmania University,in order to step up their demands for separate Telangana state carved out of Andhra Pradesh, said that they would form a political party to realise its goal. Being a hot bed for the Telangana movement with regular strikes and incidents of students committing suicides seeking statehood,the university has always been the interest of political parties like Telangana Rashtra Samithi and the Bharatiya Janata Party to fuel the movement.

But the OU-Telangana Joint Action Committee leaders said they would have nothing to do with political parties,rather they have no faith in the politicians anymore. A formal announcement of their plans will be made in New Delhi on December 9.

Krishank said a delegation of 35 students will set out to the countrys capital on December 7 to meet eminent political leaders including Sonia Gandhi,the ruling Congress Party President.This is only to inform the Centre that such a party will be formed.The party will be formally registered with the chief election commission in December.

The students of Osmania University cannot be used to satisfy the motives of existing political parties.We plan to field 117 candidates in the next general elections in all Telangana districts, said another leader,who does not wish to be named. The party will be independent of all political alliances including TRS. As a first step in this regard, the students will stage a dharna on December 9 in front of the Parliament,New Delhi, demanding the union government to restart the T-state formation.
