 Vinod coined the popular slogan ‘Bayyaramu ukku Telangana hakku’ (Bayyaram’s ore is Telangana’s right) which became a rallying cry for the agitation.Vinod actively pursued the issue of non- allocation of additional seats for three prestigious medical colleges—Gandhi, Osmania and Kakatiya—in the Telangana region.He questioned the disparity between differential allocation for Seemandhra and Telangana colleges and demanded that the then chief minister KKR camp at Delhi and build pressure on the Prime Minister's office to get 150 additional medical seats (50 each) to the three colleges.
