Hyderabad, Dec 17 (PTI) Expressing anger over the U-turn made by Praja Rajyam Chief Chiranjeevi on the Telangana issue, his party cadres and other supporters of the separate state burnt his effigy and pelted stones on buses.

Telangana supporters raised slogans against Chiranjeevi and threw stones at public transport buses at L B Nagar here.

Praja Rajyam flags were burnt and protests were held at several places in Telangana region including Nizamabad, Warangal, Mahabubnagar and other places.

"Chiranjeevi promised a 'social Telangana' where backward classes would get their due place. But now, he has betrayed us," they alleged.

The district committee leaders of Praja Rajyam in Mahabubnagar quit the party and joined TRS in the presence of party president K Chandrasekhar Rao.

Meanwhile, an advocate allegedly committed suicide by hanging himself at his residence in Hyderabad last night in support of the separate Telangana, the TRS president said.
