Telangana, the 29th state of the republic of India is being held hostage by a handful of construction companies and their henchmen in the administration and Government. That the anti Telangana sentiment is being bank rolled by the Infrastructure and Construction cartel is obvious. Companies like IVRCL, Nagarjuna, GMR, Gayatri Projects, Navayuga, Maytas and Lanco have amongst themselves garnered over 90% of Government contracts running into lakhs of crores in AP. The irrigation projects alone contracted to these companies by the AP Govt in the last 5 years amount to more than two lakh crore rupees.
These Seema Andhra based businessmen with dubious histories proliferated under the patronage of the Naidu and YSR regime in the last two decades is a well known fact. They along with the politicians and their minions in the administration form an unholy nexus of muscle power and money. Additionally most of these companies have on the pretext of setting SEZ’s and Software parks acquired prime land in and around Hyderabad. It is the fear of having these contracts that in many cases have been awarded in contravention of the tender process being investigated by the Telangana Government that is driving the anti state movement.
The whole edifice of these companies is liable to collapse like a pack of cards, if any of their activities are investigated into. Satyam, was just a tip of the ice berg, scratch any of these companies and you will unearth many more and bigger Satyam’s. Only they do not have the 40000 employees, who can be used as an excuse by the Government to maneuver itself into the Management and erase all traces of its involvement with these companies and their promoters.
It is the money power of this while collared Mafia that is forcing the Center’s stance on Telangana formation. Telangana will be formed, the day the central Government realizes the will of 3.5 crore people is more powerful than these people’s money bags. Upto now our demand has been aimed at the Government, we now need to direct it at the strings that are manipulating the Government, i.e. at these business houses. Let us make an example of one of the most vocal anti Telangana companies and force its closure for a week in a non-violent and peaceful manner. I will be looking forward to suggestions from all of you on which anti Telangana lobby we need to make an example of and what we can do to achieve our goals. So please keep thinking and posting your ideas. I can think of quiet a few, like a day of prayers forgiving the Seema Andhra lobby for their crimes against Telangana, organized in front of the offices of this business house.
This may not be easy and will call for grit and determination, but what do we have to lose except our lives which anyway are worthless in AP. The days of bandh are protest rallies has reached the stage of diminishing returns. We now need to take our struggle for a separate state to the next level where our antagonists heave a sign of relief when one protest ends and live in fear of what will follow next.
Jai Telangana
Jai Hind

U nailed it there. These plutocrats put the High Command and the Union Government to shame. Where else is an instance of such an important policy decision being put on hold just because of the weight of the money bags? Andhrites dont realise but they shud in fact pray that Telanganites pull this thru, for that wud mean tremendously weakening these plutocrats and injecting faith into democracy
All of you guys ... come out of the shell of Telangana. The world is very large. What is Hyderabad when all non-natives are either driven away or goes back and no one visits it. It would be heap of stones. Any area prospers when it can attract people from other areas. Hyderabad is lucky to be at forefront. With your selective talkings you are poisoning the minds of natives and pushing Hyderabad back by two decades or more. What will you gain? ZERO. Realise this and come out of narrowmindedness.
