The Last and Final Battle for Telangana has to be fought by its Children

The last and final battle for Telangana has to be fought by its sons and daughters, this is clear from the outcome of the last few days parleys and maneuvers of the political parties in the center and the state. The Congress’s response to the Telangana crisis last week, was characteristic of its instinct for self preservation, leaving aside the issue of unprovoked firing it went ahead with fortifying its power base. Fearing a division within its ranks from YSR loyalists, in the remote event of the party taking any punitive action against Jagan for fomenting trouble in Telangana, it went ahead and forged ties with Chiranjeevi’s Praja Rajyam. Ostensibly the meeting between Chiranjeevi and the Congress High Command was to avoid any contest for the Rajya Sabha seats for which the biennial elections are due. The piece de resistance on the menu of these discussions, which even a 10 year old will tell you was a probable alliance between the two.
It is time we realized that for the congress, retaining power is the first and last priority. Even if the High Command is in favor of a separate state, the advice of the Seemandhra funded coterie of advisors will prevail. It is a tragedy that none of the Telangana protogonists in the Congress have the confidence of the High Command or the influence in the Congress politburo to have their voice heard. This was evidenced by the silent snub they received from the Congress headquarters when their pleas to stop Jagan’s mrityu yatra went unheeded. Sadly, none of these congress politicians have the nerve to leave the party and their hollow positions in the party and state ministries and come and stand by our side. The most they can do is make ineffectual and vain visits to Delhi and cool their heels while waiting for Madam and her coterie to meet and listen to them.
And what of the self styled leader of Telangana, KCR he seems to have met his target for the year and is now strategizing for the coming one. There is a loud silence emanating from the TRS offices, Jayashankar is hardly to be seen and KCR is busy mending bridges with his Andhra counterparts in Vijaywada. Surprisingly, the TRS has shown monumental lethargy in driving the Telangana struggle, since KCR’s meeting with Chidambram at the All Party meet in Delhi on January 12, 2010. We can only surmise that the fire and false bravado of the TRS leader has been doused by Chidambaram’s persuasion and pots of honey.
What of the BJP, TDP and MIM. BJP and TDP are joined at the hip, and there is a history of BJP openly opposing Telangana state. We have yet to hear any of their National leaders comment on the issue, except for Swaraj’s plea to the students not to commit suicide. The MIM is the joker in the pack, and will bend wherever the Owaisi sons see the bread is buttered.
This leaves the future of Telangana, where it has always been in the hands of its sons and daughers who have neither the money of the Seemandhra lobby nor the positions of power but what we have is the will and determination of 3.5 crore Indians. For the last 50 years we have waited for the political class to show us the way and they have all betrayed us for petty profilts. Now, the time has come for direct and individual action on all fronts, starting with admission to our colleges, reclaiming our right to livelihood and retrieving the lands of our ancestors that have been granted left right and center by successive Seemandhra Governments to their cohorts in the land mafia. This is not easy and will call for sacrifices, but we have to decide between falling prey to the bullets of Konda Sureka and the likes of her or immolating ourselves in desperation like Yadiah and others, or we pledge to take our fight to the doorsteps of the Seemandhras. If we decide on the later there are two courses of action open to us, either we take the easy way and submit petitions and presentations to one committee after another or we take the Mahatma’s road paved with bullets and lathis but which will ultimately lead to ultimate victory. The choice is ours, let God give us the courage to do all that is necessary to liberate Telangana.
Jai Telangana. Jai Hind

Girish Kumar in Denial Mode Refuses to Acknowledge Murder of Praful Raju

Girish Kumar, the DGP of Andhra has gone on record denying the death of Praful Raju, who was shot through the head by the henchmen of Konda Sureka. This is one of the many instances of Girish Kumar’s white lies, he has been wont to utter where Telangana is concerned. Earlier in the year he made a ridiculous statement on the Maoists having advantage in Telangana, when he stated, “It would be difficult for police to contain Maoist activities in relatively smaller states”. Whereas Telangana with an area of 114,800 acres will be the 13th largest state in India by area and the 12th largest state demographically with a population of 3.5 crores.
And today, when the entire media reports the death of Praful Raju, at the hands of Konda Surekha’s musclemen, he has the audacity to refute it as a rumor. And what of the traitors of Telangana the murderous trio of Konda Surekha, her husband Konda Murali and Malothu Kavitha, who abetted the murder of Praful and led the carnage at Mahabubabad. They have been let off scot free along with their leader, the carrier of death Jaganmohan Reddy. The only response from the State Government and the Center has come from Pranab Mukerjee, the Finance Minister, when he stated, “The Congress High Command will take appropriate decision against Kapada MP Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy for violating party suggestion by taking the Odarpu yatra in Warangal”. Mark the words, the honorable Minister does not say ‘against the wishes of the High Command’ but ‘violating party suggestion’ which translates to Sonia never having asked Jagan to call off his Mrityu Yatra in Telangana. One word from her and he would have run 100 mph in reverse gear. It is akin to giving consent by silence. And the loss of a budding human life has no meaning for Mr.Mukherjee, the crime Jagan is guilty of is violating party suggestion.
Konda Surekha had already felt the ire and angst of the people of Telangana, when she went around paying blood money amounting to a grand sum of Rs. 25,000 to the families of Telangana martyrs, as a peace balm to allow this mrityu yatra to pass off successfully. Needless, to say She was humiliated and her offer thrown in her face when, Jayamma, mother of deceased Raj Kumar of Narasampet town refused to take money stating that her son did not die for money. And again at Duggondi village, when the parents of Prithviraj locked their house leaving a note urging Ms. Surekha not to value the sacrifice in terms of money. Not having learnt from this, she had the effrontery to lead the welcome committee for Jagan, the carrier of death of Telangana people.
The events of the last two days have shown us, that we the people of Telangana can expect no justice leave alone humane consideration in this Government of the Seemandhra lobby and Government for the Seemandhra lobby. It is a sad day for the nation, when we the people of Telangana have to go to the State Human Rights Commission (SHRC) each and every time we want to claim our basic human rights, whether it is the right to a decent funeral or the right to speech and liberty. Now we will also need to go the SHRC to have the murder of our sons at the hands of these Seemandhra’s acknowledged. It is time for us to call off our self imposed restraint and respond to the war cry raised by Jagan and his henchmen.
Jai Telangana. Jai Hind

Praful Raju Falls Prey to Jagan’s Mrityu Yatra

Once again, bullets rained down on hapless Telangana youth killing one and seriously injuring several others as they protested in peace against the so called consolation (Odarpu) yatra of YSR’s Son, Jaganmohan Reddy in Warangal. For us the people of Telangana it is not Odarpu Yarta, but a Mrityu Yatra, that has taken away the life of our son. Praful Raju, a tender 20 year old with the future before him was shot through the head by the gunmen of former Congress Minister Konda Surekha. As if this was not enough the police force present at the place, instead of confesticating and arresting the gunman fired rubber pellets at the protestors even as the gunmen of the others congress leaders went on a firing spree with their pistols.

The Telangana people have been requesting the State Government and the Leadership at the Center to stop this Mrityu Yatra of Jaganmohan’s. And it has as usual been deaf to our pleas and protests. Both the Government at the Center and the State are morally culpable for the murder of Praful. The shot may have been fired by the gunman but it is you Madam Sonia and you Mr.Chidambaram, and you Mr. Rosiah and you Mr. ESL, who have forced the trigger by allowing this yatra of death to go ahead inspite of indications from all sources that it may lead to this.

Soniaji, a word from you to Jaganmohan and Praful would be alive now. We have been crying ourselves hoarse, asking you and your Government to stop this humiliation of our people and our aspirations. What was Jagan coming to console us for, the 50 years of suppression and oppression we have suffered at the hands of his ilk. Our people had met with and explained our objection and reasoning for stopping Jagan’s Mrityu Yatra, to Mr. Ahmed Patel, your Secretary did he not inform you of this.

It is a shame that the same administration which prevented the funeral processions of Telangana martyrs watched mutely as Jaganmohan, the harbringer of Death and mayhem went ahead with his Mrityu Yatra to sprinkle salt on the festering sores of Telangana.

Mr.Chidambaram, did not your intelligence agencies apprise you of the volatile situation in Telangana, or were you taken in by the whisperings of the Seemandhra money bags on the demand for Telangana having tapered down. We have voluntarily reined in our movement so that the Sri Krishna Committee can complete its report, knowing full well that it is a bogus committee and has been set up just to buy time foryou and your seemandhra moneybags.

ESL, the Governor of Andhra, we have no angst or complaint against you. You have once again demonstrated your loyalty to the Seemandhra lobby which has placed you in the Rajbhawan, by seeing nothing untoward, by hearing no intelligence reports on the ground situation and saying nothing to the State Machinery on stopping this Mrityu Yatra. You have shown splendid inaction in responding to this crisis in Telangana which is at odds with your overly dominant involvement in suppressing the voice of Telangana, earlier in the year.

Mr. Rosiah, you have failed the people of Telangana once again. Why was Jagan the carrier of Death not stopped in Hyderabad itself? Why did you and your administration wait till one of our sons was murdered in cold blood before taking any action?

The only logical explanation for allowing this Mrityu Yatra to proceed so far was that it was a Nazi experiment to test if the passion of the Telangana people for their state has cooled down. If so, I hope the results have demonstrated to one and all the powers at the Center and the Seemandhra lobby that this time round, there is just one outcome the state of Telangana with Hyderabad as its capital and its 10 districts intact.

Jai Telangana. Jai Hind
