The Government of Andhra Pradesh is hell bent on leaving behind just a skeleton of Telangana, when they finally leave state is bifurcated into Telangana and Andhra. The eyes of the Seemandhra usurpers have always been fixed on goring out the twin jewels of Telangana, the city of Hyderabad and the Singareni Coal Mines. While one wing of these vested interests is busy fomenting communal riots in the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad, so as to fulfill the prophecy of their gang leader Lagdapati, on Hyderabad falling a victim to communal riots if it continues as the centuries old capital of Telangana (Hyderabad) state. The other is working overtime to get its clutches on to the Singareni Coal Mines.
Not, a month goes by without an attempt being made to usurp these mines from the Telangana people. A few months back, the Tadicherla coal mines in Karimnagar, part of the Singareni Collieries geological area, were all but sold off to ETA-ECCI-PLR, Joint Venture, a company promoted by Kadapa MP Y. S. Jaganmohan Reddy and the AP state forest minister P. Ramachandra Reddy, both hailing from Seemandhra region.
The latest plot of the Seemandhra lobby to get this Navratna of Telangana within its greedy grasp was unveiled by S. Narsing Rao, the Managing Director of SCCL. Speaking to the press, last week on the occasion of releasing the annual financial report of SCCL, he stated, that Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL) has decided to invite private participation in extracting coal from ‘unviable' projects where the cost of production is more than the present sale price. Narsing Rao, went on to add that, SCCL is planning to develop two to three clusters allowing interested private players to use part of reserves and sell the rest to SCCL. “We will not make any investment in the projects, but will get share of coal,”
The Seemandhra lobby seems to be have hit upon this gullible ploy to get its hooks on to the Singareni Coal Fields of Telangana. The ground work for this sell off of Telangana’s natural wealth under pretext of private participation seems to be have been almost completed, and SCCL is gearing up to issue the advertisements for this.
It is a moot point as to who will be the successful bidders to get hold of these mines. And all this talk of unviability of these mines is nothing but eyewash to legitimize this daylight robbery of Telangana assets. The game plan of the Andhra Pradesh Government is obvious, strip Telangana of all its wealth and leave behind a skeleton of dead hopes, sold off assets, and parched fields for the Telangana people to nurture. It is upto to us the people of Telangana, to be on our guard and protect our treasures from being auctioned off by these white collar Seemandhra bandits.
Jai Telangana. Jai Hind

Kishore,
You say "he game plan of the Andhra Pradesh Government is obvious, strip Telangana of all its wealth and leave behind a skeleton of dead hopes, sold off assets, and parched fields for the Telangana people to nurture."
This is called a scorched earth policy. The retreating army burns down everything to prevent it from falling it into enemy hands.
Our enemies realize they have lost and want to leave us with rubble.
I for one am ready to build on the rubble!
