Shankar Rai, a Congress leader from Telangana intends to install a nine-foot statue of party president Sonia Gandhi, depicting her as ‘Telangana Talli’ or Mother Telangana, at a spot near the Bangalore-Hyderabad highway registered in his daughter name.
A visibly ‘proud’ Rao told this is the least he could do to thank his ‘madam’ for the decision to carve out a separate Telangana state.
“I have depicted her as a Goddess as she ended the dominance of the people of Seema-Andhra had over the people of Telangana,” he said.
The bronze statue is around 9 foot tall, and weighs 500 kilograms.
