Lets leave the traitors of Telangana alone

For the last one month, the political class of Telangana has been playing with the emotions of its people by resigning from their posts one day and taking back their resignations the next. This in spite of the repeated demand of the people who have elected them to represent their interests in the Parliament, Assembly and the Councils. It is shameful that our leaders continue to be part of the machinery that rains bullets on our students in cold blood. It is indeed our misfortune that the very people we look at to safeguard our interests are blind and deaf to the cries of the students who are brutalized by the police in this democratic country of ours, for daring to raise their voice in demand for a separate state. Shame on us the people of Telangana for electing these leaders, who continue to stick like glue to their seats of power while the region burns with the funeral pyres of its citizens.

We have tried to reason to their better self and threatened them with dire action if they fail us now, yet like the snakes they are, they can only sway to the music of their masters in Delhi, which as well know is being manipulated by the Seemandhra lobby. It is futile our wasting our energies and time in trying to reason with these selfish elements of our land. Let us leave them to rot away in the present assembly and councils, which are anyway in the lame duck sessions. Instead of targeting these diseased bodies, we need to target our energies on bringing to light the undue representation of the Seemandhra settlers in the Government offices in Telangana.

We now need to move to the next level of direct and positive action, by demonstrating against the high percentage of these settlers in posts that should logically and morally have gone to Telangana people. Each day we need to target one department of the Government, meet the Seemandhra officers working there and request them to get a transfer to their state, and leave Telangana to be administered by its people. This will be hitting our antagonists where it hurts, and will also show the powers in Delhi that we mean business and cannot be swayed away by bogus commissions.

As for our politicians, let them stick on to their last tenures in the Parliament, Assembly and Councils, but keep our chappals and shoes in safe keeping to greet them with, when they come to us again for our vote. Telangana is the right of its 3.5 crore people and its destiny is not dependent on a handful of traitors.

Jai Telangana
Jai Hind
