D Srinivas expressed confidence Telangana will be formed with in four to five months. He reminded the Telangana martyrs who sacrificed their lives for bifurcations.

Responding on KCR's controversial comments, DS said there is nothing to worry about Hyderabad and everyone can use the rights they are entitled as per the constitution.

DS felt he is lagging behind other Telangana leaders and made these remarks to show he is still one of the influential leaders in the region.
