Respected
Madam speaker and esteemed members of the Lok Sabha,
We the
Citizens of India accepted the argument put forth by our elected
representatives that protesting inside the Parliament and Assembly premises and
not allowing the function of the Lok Sabha, the Rajya Sabha and the State
Assemblies, is also a form of expressing dissatisfaction against the
executive’s functioning. But, seeing our legislators resorting to such tactics
to sabotage the passage of the Telangana demerger bill has shamed the people of
Telangana and India and we cannot remain silent any longer. It is not everyday
that a common citizen is forced to write to his/her representatives and law
makers reminding them of their oath of office. I am saddened at being forced to
write to my MP’s of the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, asking them to be true to
the Constitution of India, and allow both the houses of Parliament to function
as required by law, and successfully clear the passage of the Telangana bill.
The
future of a tenth of India’s population namely the people of Telangana is in
your hands, it is within your power to either deliver the long denied justice
to the people of Telangana or fall prey to the machinations and moneybag persuasion
of the Seemandhra mafia. After more than a half a century of strife and
struggle, and the pain of losing thousands of our youth first to the bullets of
Brahmanand Reddy Government and most recently to the callous disregard of Kiran
Kumar Reddy, Chief of the Seemandhra mafia, Telangana is poised to see the dawn
of freedom which was snatched by unconstitutional methods in 1956. None can
deny that the people of Telangana have been systematically exploited and
impoverished by successive Andhra Governments, innumerable committees and
commissions have stated adnauseum that
Telangana has been denied justice. leaders of all political parties in India,
right from NTR, Deve Gowda PM of India, Rajiv Gandhi and also LK Advani, hve
expressed similar views and promised to deliver justice to Telangana.
Finally,
today when you have the chance of setting right the injustices done to the
people of Telangana, do not let it go in waste. Please rise above petty
political one-upmanship and show to the world that we may differ on ideology
and principles but when it comes to delivering justice and meeting the just
demands of its Citizens we can and will rise above politics. The voices of
dissent against this are very strident and very powerful, no less a person than
the former Chief Minister of AP, who is today the protoganist in chief of the Seema Andhra
Mafia, is leading the charge against the hapless people of Telangana, and the
only protection we have against this powerful oppressor is your conscience and
the oath you have taken to uphold the constitution of India.
Where
Telangana is concerned, the Constition of India has been violated each and
every time, right from the unconstitutional and forcible merger of Hyderabad
state with the Andhra state to the attempted rejection of the T bill in the AP
Assembly on 30th January, 2014. The forcible merger Hyderabad state with
the Andhra state was in violation of due constitutional procedures. The
Constitutional process was neither followed then nor in the farce of an Assembly
discussion now, Kiran Kumar Reddy and his henchmen in the Assembly have disgraced
Constitution and procedures laid down
for conducting the business of the Assembly. The guerilla tactics employed by
the Kiran Kumar Reddy in rejecting the T Reorganisation bill, reeks of a back
street brawl and is a flagrant disregard of Consitutional processes. The Rules
of Business clearly state that a resolution needs an advance notice of ten
days, and cannot be moved with no prior notice to the members of the Assembly,
this act of Kiran Kumar in which the Speaker was also hand in glove, is an
insult to the people of Telangana and Andhra, in depriving our representatives a chance of think over the
resolution and be present to vote on the same, Kiran Kumar has insulted both
the Constitution and people of India.
The sole voice of dissent against the passage
of the Telangana bill, is the corrupt political and land mafia which has been
bank rolling the anti Telangana lobby. I would like to bring to your notice,
the reasons why people like Kiran Kumar Reddy, Chanda Babu Naidu, Jagan Mohan
Reddy, Lagdapati and the kingpin of the anti Telangana lobby T Subbi Rami Reddy
are against the formation of Telangana. Since he was elevated from the ranks of
the inconspicuous MLA’s to the post of
Chief Minister of AP, Kiran Kumar Reddy has been on a money making spree, to
give an example in Kiran Kumar Reddy within months of being made Chief
Minister, though GO 293, approved the change in land
use of 33 acres of land in Janwada village in Shankarapally mandal in
Ranga Reddy district into residential use zone, against the advise of
Experts, earlier GO’s and the Court oders. This Government Order was against GO
111 issued in March 1996 which clearly states that no developmental activity
can take place in the catchment areas of the lake bed of Osmansagar and
Himayatsagar water bodies, the main source of drinking water for the twin
cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad. According to the grapewine in the
political and real estate circles, Kiran Kumar Reddy issued the GO 293 at the
behest of his close family. And today the Real Estate section in the newspapers
of Hyderabad is flooded with advertisements for residential apartments and
villas in Janwada. It is the fear of having his misdeeds being made public and
reversal of such heinous decisions which have imperiled the existence of
drinking water sources, that is root
cause of Kiran Kumar’s voice against Telangana.
The unholy nexus between Chandra
Babu Naidu and the Chairman of the erstwhile Satyam Computer Services Ltd, Rama
Linga Raju is known to all. Both Raju and Naidu have cornered huge tracts of
land in the areas marked for expansion of GHMC limits. Not only that Naidu had
during his tenure as the CM of AP, gifted large tracts of land for developing
IT industry to his friends and cronies, most of which have been used for
developing residential and commercial buildings. It is the fear of having these
come to light and the benami lands he and his family have acquired along with
his friend Ramalinga Raju, that is the prime motivator of Naidu’s opposition to
Telangana state. Not only that, Naidu to promote his diary Unit Heritage, has
undermined the performance of the APDDC diary units, so much so that almost all
the top Management and technical posts in Heritage are from the APDDC.
Now we come to Jagan Mohan Reddy,
the less said about him the better. The cases against him and too long to be
penned here.
Lagdapati like Rama Linga Raju and
several others prospered under the politician and land mafia nexus of Naidu and
later YSR, Jagan Mohan Reddy’s father. His company’s biggest project in Hyderabad
Lanco Hills, is being built on Wakf land, it is the fear of having these
illegal projects questioned and scrapped that is his fueling his opposition to Telangana.
T Subbi Rami Reddy, made his fortune as a contractor for the
construction of Nagarjuna Sagar. , He is the most influential and the prime
mover and shaker, stage managing the Anti Telangana lobby from behind the
curtains. Whether it is road construction, building Government offices, or
providing Security to any small or large Government office or Exhibition, any
and every work the Government of AP has allotted in the last 50 years, TSR’s
Gayatri group a piece of the Government’s pie has gone into the coffers of TSR
and Gayatri group.
So esteemed members of Parliament
the fight for Telangana is between the hapless Telangana people and the land
mafia and the Government contractor lobby which is opposed to releasing its death
grip on the prey ie Telangana. Today we the people of Telangana bessech you
listen to your conscience and deliver to
Telangana a state that was snactched from them. The people of Telangana ask
just one thing of you, please set aside your differences for a day and release
Telangana from half a century of oppression and exploitation. We the people of
Telangana ask that you deliver us from this misery, for to leave the issue pending
now is to prolong the agony of an already much abused and exploited people.
You are today at the cross roads
of history and the decision you take today will either bring prosperity and
plenty to Telangana or plunge it into the depths of gloom and despair, which
will prove a fertile ground for anti national elements to prey upon. So listen
to your conscience and the cry of 12 crore Indians and say along with us Jai
Telangana, the 29th state of India.
Yours sincerely
Neera Kishore
Telangana Praja Samithi
