The stringent demand emanating from the powerful Seemandhra lobby is that Hyderabad, the capital of Telangana state be made a union territory if Telangana is granted statehood. The lobby cites so called investments the Seemandhra settlers made in the development of Hyderabad. The truth is a vast majority of these Seemandhra settlers solely invested in the real estate in Hyderabad in anticipation of a windfall. Now with the real market in the doldrums and with limited avenues to cut their losses and run, these people have latched on to the rainbow wisps of making Hyderabad a Union Territory.
There is a powerful section of the Seemandhra lobby, the band of construction companies who have profited from the massive Government contracts which were doled out right from the construction of the Nagarjuna Sagar dam to the current Metro Rail Project, this group has more to lose if the Hyderabad state is formed. They live in fear of the day when the Hyderabad Government investigates into and scraps the dubious deals awarded to them by the previous Andhra Government. The leadership at the center is like putty in the hands of the top rung of these carpet baggers from Andhra and Rayalseema the GVK’s, Subbirami Reddy’s and the GMR’s who collectively paid blood money amounting Rs.10,000 crore to the Congress in lieu of statehood for Telangana.
There are indications that the Central Leadership may succumb to the blackmail of this lobby and declare Hyderabad as the Union territory. We the people of Telangana can expect no justice either from the leadership at the center or from our elected representatives, in this final battle for justice and self respect we need to use all ammunition in our meager arsenal to wrest victory from these exploitative sources.
We the people of the erstwhile state of Hyderabad, have been blind to this weakness of ours have gone about saying statehood for Telangana, this was apt in 1969, but the rulkes of the game are drastically different, in 1969 these people were the invaders, today they have entrenched themselves into the Government and Administration in Hyderabad and need to be pulled out by the roots. If we want to safeguard Hyderabad from their lust filled eyes, we have to rename our state of Telangana as the state of Hyderabad. Historically it has always been the Hyderabad State, and it is strategically imperative that we rebrand our state as Hyderabad. Let us from today onwards replace Telangana with Hyderabad in all communication, and create an umbilical link between the two. The stamp of the Hyderabad state will depict its history, the Kakatiya Thoranam leading into the Charminar which merges into the Hitech city. Once this image is embedded in the psyche of the nation then no force on earth can even think of separating the two.
The battle for Hyderabad has to be won first in our minds, wherein we start thinking of Hyderabad as Telangana and Telangana as Hyderabad and later on in the corridors of power, where try as they might the Seemandhra lobby will not be able to separate the one from the other. We the people of Hyderabad, who are ready to sacrifice our lives need not think twice about relinquishing a name. Ultimate victory is ours, we now need to decide if we want Telangana with Hyderabad as UT or the State of Hyderabad intact with its 10 districts Adilabad, Hyderabad, Karimnagar, Khammam, Mahabubnagar, Medak, Nalgonda, Nizamabad, Rangareddy, and Warangal.
Jai Hyderabad. Jai Hind
