The Telangana issue, which stole the limelight after the congress rout in the recent by polls, continues to disturb the Telangana youth mentally.

After two suicides were reported in the last three days over the Telangana issue, another youth from Mahaboobnagar district tried to immolate himself seeking Telangana state today.

Mr BR Goud poured kerosene on his person and tried to set ablaze himself at Rajiv Chouk in Wanaparthi town this afternoon. Fortunately, locals and bystanders intervened and prevented the tragedy. He was immediately shifted to a hospital by locals.

It may be recalled that an MBA student Mr Bojya Naik committed suicide on Saturday while another person Mr Rajamogili immolated himself at Warangal today for the sake of Telangana.
