"We will tour and hold meetings in every mandal in Telangana region," Nagam said.
Asked whether he would launch his own political party, Nagam said: "First we will tour the region and step up our demand for T state. I will consider launching a new party, if necessary," he said.Nagam said that he was upset with the TDP, which backtracked from its 2008 politburo resolution favouring separate Telangana. "I served the party for 30 long years. But, decided to quit protesting against Naidu's stand on Telangana statehood demand," he said.
