It is no laughing matter

KCR’s son and Minister for IT and Panchayat Raj KTR, finally told the truth about what he and his family and the TRS think about the people of Telangana.

Recently at a meeting in Hyderabad KTR said the TRS can be renamed to Telugu Rashtra Samithi and that he can contest from Bhimavaram.  Seeing the public’s reaction to the statement he explained it away saying it was a joke. Telangana State is not a joke, and the sentiments of the Telangana people is not a joking matter. Telangana was not got easily, we had to fight for 44 years to attain statehood, our children bore the brunt of police brutality and hundreds sacrificed their lives for Telangana, 369 students were shot dead in 1969 and 1400 youth committed suicide from 2009 to 2014.

But, after Telangana was formed we made the mistake of trusting our State’s future with a man who has no interest in our State’s progress or the welfare of its people. In the last eighteen months the people who fought for Telangana are leading their same old miserable lives, not a single family of the martyrs has received a job or the promised land, only 35 families have got the promised Rs.10 lacs, while KCR and family are ruling the state like it is their inherited property. So who was KTR laughing at when he made the statement, the 370 youth who fell to police firing in 1969 or the 1400 plus students who committed suicide in the last few years for Telangana. Everyone knows KCR took up the Telangana statehood issue to settle scores with Naidu, and now KTR has shown what he and his family think of Telangana and it’s sacrifices.

The notification for jobs has not been announced on the frivolous reason that the bifurcation of employees is not complete. And now KTR says all settlers are part of Telangana and they have equal rights. Not only this Telangana Government contracts worth thousands of crores are still being awarded to Andhra businesses leaving the Telangana people in the cold. The contract jobs which were all taken by Andhra settlers may be regularized at the cost of Telangana people. And in the GHMC elections KCR and TRS has issued tickets to the Seemaandhra people leaving Telangana workers empty handed.

So when KTR said he was joking he was right. KCR and family have been laughing at hoodwinking the innocent people of Telangana and leading them down the proverbial Garden path. It is time now for the people of Telangana to unite and fight against these seemandhra stooges and force the TRS and KTR to go to Bhimavaram with his Telugu Rashtra Samithi. Let us start with Hyderabad by supporting Independent local Telangana leaders in the GHMC elections and defeat the TRS ie Telugu Rashtra Samithi.

Jai Telangana

Srikantt Chary’s mother seeks support from Telangana Praja Samithi for Palakurthy Assembly seat

Shankaramma mother of Late Srikanth Chary, has approached Telangana Praja Samithi, for support to contest the Palakurthi Assembly Constituency in Warangal District.

Srikanth Chary, set himself on fire, on November 29, 2009 when K Chandrasekahr Rao was taken into police custody. He later succumbed to his burns but this attempt of his set in a heartrending trend of young boys and girls committing suicide for Telangana. Shankaramma, had earlier approached TRS President, K  Chandrasekahr Rao for an assembly ticket from Palakurthy. According to her brother, Ravi Chary, who accompanied her to the meeting, KCR heard their petition and also agreed that their demand was justified. But declined to give her the ticket saying, “where will you get the money to contest the Elections.” Shankaramma commented, “My son has sacrificed his life for Telangana, and if I am denied a ticket because of my financial conditions, then his sacrifice has been in vain.”

The Telangana Praja Samithi, leaders concurred that Telangana has gained statehood because of the will of the people of Telangana to carry on a protracted struggle for 50 years. Neera Kishore, Vice President of TPS condemned the callous disregard of Shankaramma’s request. She said, “Each and every citizen of Telangana irrespective of birth or financial condition or caste and religion has an equal right to lead the State and contribute to its Development. Entry into Politics and allotment of tickets for contesting elections solely based on considerations of birth or money power is the biggest disease plaguing Indian Politics., and Telangana Praja Samithi is against this hijacking of political opportunities by the families of a handful of Individuals. TRS is giving tickets to the entire family of KCR, including cousins, and sons and daughters for the Assembly and Lok Sabha, and does not wish to entertain any requests from representatives of the thousands who sacrificed their lives for Telangana.  This just shows that KCR believes Telangana to be his private property.”

Sanuallah, General Secretary, Telangana Praja Samithi, said, “I request all Telangana parties to allot atleast 1% of the tickets to the families of those who have sacrificed their lives for Telangana. Telangana Praja Samithi, extends its support to the kith and kin of all those who laid down their lives for Telangana, and are desirous of working for the development of the State.”

Telangana Praja Samithi, contested and won 11 of the 14 lok sabha seats in the 1971 elections and will be contesting for all the seats in the 2014 General Elections.

The story behind the Telangana Martyrs Memorial, Gun Park, Hyderabad

In 1971, the Telangana Movement was called off  and the people returned to their lives. Pratap Kishore, founder of the Telangana Praja Samithi, could not reconcile himself to the memory of the 370 people, mostly students who were killed in police firing. He thought over the issue and finally broached the subject of building a memorial for the Martry’s to Raghuveer Rao and Keshav Rao Jadav the other founders of the Telangana Praja Samithi. The three deliberated on the issue, and decided that the sacrifice of the martyrs should not go unrecognized, they decided to get the Government to build a memorial for the Telangana Martyr’s. Keshav Rao Jadav, was given the task of broaching the subject of building the memorial, with Lakshminarayana, the Mayor of Hyderabad.

When the memorial was suggested to Lakshminarayana, he agreed to take it up with the Chief Minister, Brahmanand Reddy, who shot it down. But both Pratap Kishore and Keshav Rao Jadhav, continued to put pressure on Lakshminarayana to pursue the subject of the Memorial. After much persuasion, Lakshminarayana, went against the wishes of Brahmanand Reddy, and had the resolution for building the Telangana Martyrs Memorial, approved by the Municipal body. The Municipal body agreed to building the memorial, but at the Victoria Play Ground in Chaderghat. Pratap Kishore, Keshav Rao Jadhav, EV Padnabhan and several other participants of the 1969 rejected the venue, saying the only fitting place for the memorial was in the park opposite the Assembly, where the MP’s who were elected in 1971, had taken an oath to continue their fight for Telangana state and also it was the place where several students were killed in firing. Finally the Corporation relented and gave its nod to building the memorial in front of the Assembly.

The Municipal Corporation called for sculptors to submit their designs for the Memorial. And of all the aspirants, Aekka Yadagiri Rao, a promising sculptor was selected and commissioned with the building of the memorial. Once the clearances for building the memorial were obtained, it was felt that just building a monument was not enough it had to be symbolic. Pratap Kishore then called Anthi Williams, an active Telangana fighter, and asked him to speak to the family of the slain students, it they would be willing to dig up the mortal remains of the martrys, and hand them over to be reburied under the memorial.  About three or four families consented to Pratap Kishore’s request and handed over the mortal remains of their sons to Anthi Williams, who then placed these in a black painted iron box  and sealed and buried it, in the site earmarked for the Memorial, a day beefore the memorial was to be inaugurated. The next day, Lakshminarayana, Mayor of Hyderabad, laid the foundation stone of the martyrs memorial. And the park where it is built was christened the Gun Park, to symbolize the guns that were used to massacre unarmed youth demanding their right to their home.

The memorial is 25 feet high, and incorporates five separate sections. The base is of black polished granite, which has nine bullet impressions on four sides to represent the 360 students, who scarified their life's for the cause in 1969. Each of the nine bullet impressions on each side, stands for the nine districts of Telangana, at that time Ranga Reddy was not a district. The black granite is symbolic of the mourning for the heroes. At the base of the memorial, the names of the martyrs are engraved in the black granite. The Government raised the height of the lawns by six inches, thereby hiding the names of the martyrs. The mythological sun-arch above the base was inspired from Sanchi Stupas. The plaques embossed in it on four sides represent the greatness of the cause. Above the sun-arch, nine strips or columns were carved denoting nine districts of Telangana. The specialty of this art piece is one can spot these nine strips from any side view. The meaning conveyed through it was nine districts of Telangana were united and nobody can disintegrate them. Next is the trapezium structure that has a dharma chakra, representing tolerance and truth, on four sides. The red granite represents sacrifice and the chakra for peace and love. The meaning conveyed through this was that Telangana youths sacrificed their lives while fighting for dharma, rights and justice. At the top there is a white lily flower to symbolize the freshness of youth and immortality of the soul.

Open Letter to the 15th Lok Sabha

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 30^th 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

Jagan your wants are many are you willing to listen to what the people want

For the last two days the news channels have been inundated with video clips of Jaganmohan, President of the YSR Congress, airing his unending wants, on his fast for a Samikhya Andhra.

Let us begin with the first, Jagan you want Modi to make the Bhartiya Janata Party secular, it is truly laudable. You went on to say that you are a Christian and believe in God. You stated that you pray to the lord everyday and recited a prayer that all of us, who went to missionary schools and colleges irrespective of caste or religion used to recite every day and which I still say notwithstanding the fact that I am a Hindu. Jagan the people of the country want you to do more than just read the bible and saying empty prayers, they want you to be a true Christian and follow its tenets. Let me remind you of three of the Ten Commandments which you have forgotten or chose to ignore. Commandment 8 says “Thou shall not steal”, yet you with the connivance of your father have looted the state and the people of Andhra Pradesh to the tune of thousands of crores. Is not this thievery a sin in Christianity. Commandment 9 says, “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor”, yet you are presenting a false case against the formation of Telangana state, in violation of the very word of God. Now for the 10^th Commandment that states, “Thou shalt not covet”, yet here you are not only coveting the land, water, power, and jobs of the people of Telangana but roaring like an angry lion whose prey has escapade from its jaws. Jagan, the people of the country ask just one thing of you, be a good Christian and in true Christian way stop coveting Telangana.

Jagan you were right in saying, you want more Mohabbatnagar’s and not Muzaffarnagar, yet you are actively fomenting trouble in Rayalseema and Andhra against Telangana. Where was this want for Mohabbbatnagar, when the police rained bullets on hapless Telangana youth, who were protesting in peace against the so called consolation (Odarpu) yatra of yours in Warangal on 27 May 2010. Did you go and visit any of the injured, Jagan, or is it that Telangana does not need Mohabbatnagars. And today you talk of Mohabbatnagar’s while at the same time bankrolling the violence unleased in Tirupati and Vijaywada. To fulfill your wish of having more Mohabbatnagar’s, the people of India want you to call off your henchmen and cohorts from perpetuating violence in Tirupati and Vijaywada.

Jagan, you also want the three regions to stay united, Andhra, Rayalseema and Telangana and then go on to say the reason is that everyday there will be problems and disputes for water and power. You also say that you are willing to ensure Telangana gets justice, in these two sentences you have agreed that firstly Andhra and Rayalseema have been stealing Telangana’s share of water and power in the garb of Andhra Pradesh, and agree that injustice has been done to Telangana, for if no injustice been done then the question for justice would never have arisen. So we the people of Telangana want just one thing and are willing to and have paid the ultimate sacrifice, not by sitting in farcical fasts unto death but by falling prey to bulllets, freedom from the clutches of you Seemandhra exploiters.  

You have so many wants even after filling the coffers of your family vault with the wealth of Telangana people. Yet our want is just one give us our state, and let us live in peace and mutual co-operation as good neighbours. We want you to be a good Christian and not covet your neighbor i.e Telangana’s wealth.

Jai Telangana 

Satisfaction, Happiness and Prosperity for all promises Chidambaram.. Article published in Hindi Milap on Jan 3, 2010

The Home Minister, P. Chidambaram, in his statement after accepting the Sri Krishna Commission Report today on the future of Telangana, stated the Central Government will work towards arriving at a solution that will bring satisfaction, happiness and prosperity to all. Reading between the lines, the Home Minster has in principle accepted the demand for Telangana state with Hyderabad as its capital and stated that his Government will set the process in motion for the creation of Telangana. For it is a fact that only in their own state will the 4.5 crore people of Telangana be satisfied, happy and hope for prosperity. Any other solution will leave the 4.5 crore people of Telangana, dejected and unhappy and sow the seeds of confrontation and rebellion in the psyche of an emotionally charged region.

The Central Government, has called for a meeting of all political parties in Andhra Pradesh, on January 6, 2011 to discuss the report and build consensus for the future course of action. Though this sounds laudable, history makes us skeptical of the outcome of this meeting. We all know what happened after the all party meet on January 5, 2010 in New Delhi last year. The TRS almost went into reverse gear, and would have laid low for the next 3 years and the General Elections in 2014, when it would have again raised the issue to garner seats. It was the unrelenting pressure of the student community and the common Telangana man and woman who had to resort to taking the extreme step of self immolation before the Government relented and set up the Sri Krishna Commission. Let us keep our fingers crossed and hope the mistakes of history are not repeated again, and the all party meet, ends all speculation and comes up with a concrete plan of action.

The way forward as we see it, is a five point action plan for the Government to embrace. First, set in motion the process of creating Telangana with Hyderabad as its capital. Two, let the Rayalseema and Andhra regions decide whether they want to be together or have separate states and if they prefer to separate trifurcate AP into Telangana, Andhra and Rayalseema. Thirdly, announce a development package for Telangana which has been grossly neglected and for the other state/s to develop a capital in either Vijaywada/Vishakapatnam/Tirupati as they see fit. Fourthly, set up a bifurcation/trifurcation committee to work out the modalities of repatriation of employees working in the Government sector to their respective regions, and for the sharing of river waters and other disputes arising out of the division. Fifthly, set up a transition Government comprising of equal representation from all three regions to ensure a fair and peaceful division and birth of new states.

Though this may be unpalatable to a few vested interests, it is the only solution that can bring about satisfaction, happiness and prosperity for all concerned. Hope, this time the sense of Justice and fair play pervades over greed and covetousness. And the people of Telangana finally get the due rewards which have been denied to them for the last six decades of India’s independence.

The final betrayal

The stand of the Telangana Praja Samiti, on the Sri Krishna Commission has been vindicated. We have always maintained the Sri Krishna Commission was a bogus commission set by the Congress Government at the center to buy time for once again burying the demand for Telangana in the tomes of commission’s findings. But, we like the others in Telangana were hoping that this time round there will be no betrayals and justice will finally be ours. But, Alas it is not to be the actions of the Government at the Center and the State belie these hopes, all preparations are in place to deal with any voice or protest against the Sri Krishna Commissions findings.

The Government at the center and the Seemandhra protagonists have failed to read the grit and determination of the people of Telangana to free their state from the Seemandhra hegemony. The statement of the Home Minister Mr. P.Chidambaram, in calling for an all party meet on January 6, 2011 to deliberate the recommendations of the Sri Krishna commission, has to be the red flag for us the people of Telangana to beware of the final betrayal. For every one knows this is the last chance we will have to ensure justice and self respect for our coming generations, if we fail now they are cursed to a life as second class citizens and confined to the lower dregs of society for eternity . What was the need of inviting all political parties to present the findings, if the Central Government was sincere in fulfilling its promise for a separate state, it would have made the report public and set the process for introducing the bill for Telangana formation in the budget session of Parliament. And the reaction of the political parties to this diversionary tactic is pathetic, instead of refusing to attend the meeting on the grounds that all that was to be said and discussed was said and presented to the Sri Krishna Commission in the last one year, they are busy arguing on whether each party should send one representative or two.

The presence of the para military forces in the twin cities even if they are to be restricted to the barracks and head quarters as promised by Chidambaram are true is a sure sign of the force we will need to reckon with if we raise our voice against this delaying tactic of the Government. More ominous is the review of the preparations by the Andhra front man Kiran Kumar Reddy, his march through the twin cities was akin to a Generals review of his troops before the assault. And we need to be prepared for a hail of bullets, lathi’s and water canons if we so much as try to resist the forcible occupation of our state by the Seemandhra settlers.

The demand for a separate state is a people’s movement and not a political issue that can be traded off in closed door meetings. It is a cry for justice and self determination as enshrined in the constitution of India. It is high time the Government at the Center and the State realized this.

We the people of Telangana have determined that our future generations will not have to fight another time for justice, we have promised ourselves that there will no longer be other Yadiah’s, Venugopal Reddy’s, Bhooma Reddy’s and Suvarna’s who will be forced to take their life in dejection. We have to decide if we are ready to face the might of the Seemandhra lobby one last time. For no matter what nefarious stratagem may have been devised by the Government at the Center, State and the Seemaandhra lobby to deepfreeze the demand for Telangana, they will lose once we take our struggle to the streets.

Jai Telangana. Jai Hind

Telangana Inter student deliberately failed by Seemandhra evaluator

First they took our jobs, then they took our lands, then they took our seats in institutes of higher learning, then they took away our waters making our lands barren, and finally having brought us to the brink of human extinction they have the malice to kill even hope for a better future from the lives of our innocent children.
Not content with driving our youth to suicide in desperation and shooting rubber pellets and water canons, at us like rabid animals the Seemandhra’s guillotine has trained its sight on snuffing out the future of our just out of school students. A startling though not surprising fact was brought to light the other day, when an intermediate 2nd year student from Warangal, who was awarded a mighty zero in economics scored a distinguished 75. marks out of 100 in the same subject when he applied for revaluation of the answer sheet. And guess who the evaluator was, a lecturer from a private college in Kadapa. Strange is the explanation given by the lecturer for awarding zero marks, he says he did so “as he could not understand the answers written in English”. We knew this would happen but were hoping against hope that these malevolent forces would not stoop as low as this.
The Telangana lobby had alerted both the Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education, on the evaluators from Seemandhra unleashing their hatred for Telangana and deliberately failing our students. But as always our pleas went unheeded, it is indeed God’s benevolence, that this lad had the courage and self confidence to approach the Board of Intermediate Education for reevaluation, he could have fallen prey to dejection as scores of other students do. This is just one instance that has come to light, there may be thousands of cases like this, where students from Telangana have been deliberately failed in retaliation to our struggle for a separate state.
Killing the future of a student even before it takes off, is a heinous crime comparable to rape, the damage done to the future prospects of the student, the loss of morale and confidence in self can never be repaired. These butchers of our children’s future are worse then Ajmal Kasab the Pakistani terrorist who carried out the 26/11 attack in Mumbai. He has only taken lives, while these psychological terrorists have tried to maim and kill hope of our future generation, the worse of worst crimes.
If we the people of Telangana, are to have faith in the system then the only solution is to have the answer papers of all SSC and Intermediate students from Telangana reevaluated by an independent authority better still have them corrected by lecturers from other states. This may be involve costs and delay the admission to colleges, so what! These are of no consequence where the future of even one student unjustly failed is concerned.
It is up to the Government and the Education Department to see to it that justice is done to our students and they are not made to suffer because we demand our right to self determination and self respect.
Jai Telangana. Jai Hind

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

State Administration Sowing the Seeds of Extremism in Hyderabad State

The Andhra Government under the directions of the Raj Bhawan in Hyderabad, appears to be hell bent on sowing the seeds for the next generation of extremist leaders in the country. The brutality unleashed by the Andhra Administration, to crush the democratic demand for the state of Telangana nee Hyderabad, was either the response of a frightened lobby to protect its ill gotten wealth or a well planned strategy to push the youth of Hyderabad into the arms of the extremists. The words and actions of the State and the Leadership at the center point to the latter, as it will then justify the Government’s lie of naxal and maoist influence in the demand for a separate state.

Stories of the police brutality are slowly emerging from the student community in Osmania University, the nerve center of the Telangana agitation. Speaking to a panel of jury members conducting a public hearing into police violence in Osmania University, students narrated the trauma of being at the receiving end of the Seemandhra sponsored police atrocities. One of the victims a girl pursuing her masters described she and her group of her friends all girls were stoned by the security forces within the University campus, and how the stoning continued even after they displayed their identity cards. Another girl student, recounted the horror of being molested and mercilessly lathicharged when she along with her friends went to the aid of their fellow students in other hostels who were being manhandled by the police. The students were first mercilessly beaten and then arrested under false cases, all for exercising their democratic right, in asking for self determination and self expression.

If the girl students were molested and lathi charged, the story of the treatment meted out to the boy’s is hair raising, students who were active in the movement were identified and individually targeted in their home towns and villages. One student recalled how he was forcibly pulled out of a barber shop and arrested. While another recounted, how he was accosted by a dozen policemen on bikes and produced before a magistrate in the early hours of the morning. The most horrendous case is that of Andalamma, her son was pulverized by 20 policemen who stormed into their house in the wee hours, he is still in hospital after two months!

Each and every instance of police atrocity has laid bare the Andhra Government’s heinous intention to destroy the spirit of an entire generation, most of whom are first generation learners in their family, and had entered the portals of the University, with the ideal of changing the system and their lives. Contrast this with the state’s response to the week long communal flare-up in the twin cities last month, a handful of arrests that too of minor minions. The same police force which shot rubber bullets at hapless students watched as mute spectators while the miscreants went on a rampage burning and pillaging. AK Khan, the DG of police, who led the ruthless carnage against the hapless students, was photographed playing cricket in front of the Charminar, just to show all was peaceful, while the city was erupting in flames. It is a blackday for the Nation, when democratic protests have to face the wrath and carnage of its might while anti social elements flourish and prosper under the state’s patronage.

The Government, seems to be hell bent on fulfilling its prophesy of Naxal and Maoist infiltration on the Telangana struggle, only difference is they by their actions are driving the student community into the arms of the extremists. Chidambaram and the Seemandhra protégé Narasimhan, are guilty of attempting to destroy the psychological fiber of an entire generation of Hyderabad, by their heinous acts against the students and the people of Hyderabad, who are demanding their fundamental right to self determination as guaranteed by the constitution of India. It is high time the Government at the center realized that by dancing to the tunes of the Seemandhra contractor and land mafia, it is creating future Dantewada’s in Hyderabad.
The people of Hyderabad are peace loving and we will wrest our state from the clutches of the Seemandhra’s in peace and in line with the provisions of the Indian Constitution and any attempts to detract us from this path should be labeled anti national and dealt with accordingly.
Jai Hyderabad. Jai Hind

Pathetic State of Hospitals in Hyderabad

The Andhra Government has released an additional amount of Rs. 55 crore for the completion of the 450-bed Visakha Institute of Medical Sciences (VIMS) inVisakhapatnam, this is in addition to the Rs.120 crore that has already been spent in the construction of the super speciality hospital. This hospital with the latest in medicare will supplement the medical services provided by the King George Hospital. The foundation of VIMS was laid down in January 2007 and in less than three years this super speciality hospital is nearing completion. Contrast this with the state of Medical Health in Hyderabad state, in the last 50 years no Government hospital has been established in Hyderabad, all Government hospitals in Hyderabad districts were set up prior to its forcible merger with Andhra. As against this the Government has set up atleast one General Hospital in all the Seemandhra districts.
Not only this, the Government hospitals in Hyderabad, like its industries were managed into sickness and disrepute by the Seemandhra management. A case in point is the Osmania General Hospital and the NIMS. The condition of Osmania Hospital is worse than the Nazi ghettoes., there has been no upgrading of its equipment, nor advancement in the method of treatment. It lags behind in the services it provides, and is ill equipped to treat any major illness, and has been reduced to a hospice care provider that cannot cure and can only provide support for the dying and the destitute. The story of NIMS is vastly different, it has 2 faces one for the underprivileged who are herded into wards akin to Nazi ghettoes, and the other for the powerful jailbirds who come to its portals to escape prison sentences like Raju of Satyam and Lagdapati of Lanco.
The condition of other hospitals like Niloufer and the Government Maternity home, cannot be described, infested as they are by vermin and lacking in even the basic medical facilities, they are the refuge of the down trodden citizens of Hyderabad state. These insitutions which at one time were the beacons of hope have been progressively reduced to functioning as referral hospitals for the Corporate set ups. There has been a hidden agenda in running down these Government hospitals, their demise was devised to provide for the growth of the Private Corporate Hospitals in Hyderabad,which have been promoted and managed by the Seemandhra’s.
One of the first tasks of the State of Hyderabad will be to provide quality health care for its citizens. Towards this a Multi Specialty Government Hospital will be set up in each of the 10 districts, and each and every village will have a Primary Health Care Center to cater to the medical needs of its citizens.

Rosiah Stop Awarding Projects in Hyderabad State

The Government at the Center needs to step in immediately to ensure the State of Hyderabad is not stripped of its assets, by the retreating Seemandhra exploiters. The Andhra Government seems to be going full steam on awarding contracts worth crore of rupees to Seemandhra contractors, even though the (CAG) Comptroller and Auditor Generals report advises against these. A few instances of the undue haste and patronage being shown to the Seemandhra contractor lobby in awarding contracts in the soon to be created Hyderabad state are illustrated below.
The Andhra Government has approached the World Bank for a loan of Rs.1000 crore to develop the traffic and public transportation infrastructure in Hyderabad city, the capital Hyderabad state. The World Bank is ready to give this grant and an indication to this effect was made a few days back by the bank, and the Andhra machinery is working overtime to avail of these funds. The plan that was shared with the World Bank officials includes developing an integrated traffic system for the city of Hyderabad. The utter haste shown by the Semandhra administrators in getting the project report prepared and submitted to the World Bank, shows they are working against a deadline in awarding Government contracts. Knowing full well, that in another 12 months the state of Hyderabad will be a reality and they may be transferred back to their home districts, these officials are in a hurry to milk Hyderabad of as much of its monies as is possible. Their objective seems to be, empty the coffers of Hyderabad state by awarding contracts to the Seemandhra lobby right left and center, and finally when the time comes leave the people of Hyderabad holding the remains of an economically dead state.
The other instance is the award of the Hyderabad Metro Rail, eight consortia companies have qualified to participate in financial bids, and almost 50% of these are led by the Seemandhra lobby, Lanco Infra-OHL Concessions (Spain), Essar-Leighton (Australia)-Gayatri-VNR, GMR Infra, GVK-Samsung (South Korea). These consortia have already started making noises on the unviability of the project with the existing projections, and are requesting a relaxation in the terms of Agreement. The news filtering in from the corridors of power is that the Government is seriously considering this as it wants to award the contract by the end of April. Needless to say, this contract if awarded will add to the financial burden to the Hyderabad state.
While on one hand the Government is going at rocket speed in awarding the MMTS contract, on the other hand it has no resources to spare for improving the state of the existing MMTS network, and has been sitting on a proposal to pay a trifling Rs. 22 crore to the Integral Coach Factory, Chennai, for procuring the pending six rakes or trains. Needless to say, these six trains will vastly improve the current network and quality of services. A Government boasting of one lakh crore rupees budget has been unable to find such an ‘insignificant' sum for nearly a year now. This delay is because the beneficiary is the Integral Coach Factory and not a Seemandhra owned company.
Not only this, all projects which will add to the prosperity of the fatted Andhra region, but which will if completed imperil the economy of Hyderabad state, have been put on fast track and are being commissioned on a war footing, witness the Polavaram project which if completed will inundate vast stretches of fields in Khammam and spell the death knell for the Devadula (Chokka Rao) lift irrigation scheme intended to supply water to the drought prone areas of Hyderabad state.
It is imperative that we the people of Hyderabad, safe guard our interests and stop the Rosiah led Andhra Government from awarding any mega contracts in the state of Hyderabad. We the people of Hyderabad, demand that our state be spared from the rapacious acts of our captors, and demand the Government at the center to put a stop to this exploitation of our state. Let the lame duck government carry on its day to day activities, but let no policy decision or mega contract be awarded in the State of Hyderabad, till our Government takes oath shortly.
Jai Hyderabad. Jai Hind

Lets Rename the State of Telangana as State of Hyderabad

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.

Hyderabad Liberation Struggle

The expansionist and acquisitive nature of the Rayalseema people has been ripped open for all to see. After receiving a slap in the face response to their proposed merger with Telangana state to form the Greater Rayalseema state, they have come up with an even grandiose plan for the state of Greater Rayalseema. Rayalaseema Rashtra Samithi party president Kuncham Venkata Subba Reddy has in his representation to the bogus Srikrishna Commission, demanded formation of Greater Rayalaseema State with 10 districts, comprising of the existing districts of Kadapa, Kurnool, Chittoor and Anantapur, and additional 2 districts of Prakasam and Nellore from Andhra, Vellore and Krishnagiri from Tamil Nadu and Bellary and Raichur from Karnataka. Kadapa is to be the capital and Tirupati the second capital. Apart from annexing 6 districts from neighboring states, he also demanded a special package of Rs. 2 lakh crore for the development of Greater Rayalseema, a High Court Bench in Kadapa. And finally the malicious demand that Hyderabad be made a Union Territory if Telangana is granted statehood.
This malicious demand of the Seemandhra people that Hyderabad be made a Union Territory if Telangana is granted statehood is akin to the thwarted suitor who throws acid on the face of his beloved, for spurning his attentions. The Government at the center should realize this for what it is, an outward manifestation of a sick and destructive psyche. The demand that Hyderabad be delinked from its thousand year old history of Telangana is laughable, but the voices propagating it are so stringent and powerful that we the people of Telangana have to thwart it now and forever.
From now onwards, let Telangana be called the Hyderabad state, it was Hyderabad for 400 years and will remain so for the next 4000 years. We need to brand Hyderabad as Telangana and Telangana as Hyderabad, this will happen only if we start rebranding our movement for the statehood of Telangana as the Statehood of Hyderabad. For us the people of Hyderabad, it will not matter whether the state is called Telangana or Hyderabad, but making each synonymous with the other will create an unbilical link, which even the most powerful lobby cannot break.
Let us from this day replace the word Telangana with Hyderabad, and carry forward our struggle for statehood under the banner of Hyderabad Liberation Struggle. I will start off with saying Jai Hyderabad, instead of Jai Telangana and hope the 3.5 crore people of Hyderabad, follow this and thwart the move of the Seemandhra people to separate the soul from the body.
Jai Hyderabad. Jai Hind

Mr. Chidambaram, You Have Failed Please Resign

The annihilation of almost the entire Alpha Company of the Central Reserve Police Force's 62 Battalion, which lost 74 of its 80 personnel in an ambush at Chintalnar, the other day is the inexorable consequence of an ill-planned counter insurgency strategy of the Central Leadership. This incident as the others before it, 26/11 terrorist attack on Mumbai city in which more than ten coordinated shooting and bombing attacks were orchestrated across India's largest city, 11/7 in which seven bombs exploded within 11 minutes on the Suburban Railway in Mumbai, have been failures of the intelligence agencies and Home Security.
This is what happens when the Government forces its intelligence agencies into an overdrive to uncover nonexistent conspiracies. This is what has been happening for the last many years, while the IB and RAW were busy ferreting out details on Sadhvi Pragya, the Pakistan terrorists were busy plotting the siege of Mumbai, busy as these agencies were in meeting the political agenda of the power at the center and state, it missed out on vital signs on the impending attack. The same laxity in working on intelligence inputs on insurgent activities while going full steam in meeting the agendas of the political leadership is responsible for the massacre and loss of life of an entire battalion.
Chidambaram, who presented intelligence reports on the non existent influence of Maoists on the struggle for Telangana’s statehood at the all party meeting, in New Delhi on January 5, 2010, could not get any inkling on the congregation of over 1000 Maoists in the Dantewada region. An operation of this magnitude could not have been executed without long and meticulous planning, it would need massive logistical support, there is no way these preparations could be carried out below the radar of the intelligence agencies, maybe the IB and RAW would have got on it, had they not all been busy preparing reports to further their masters agenda.
It is a strategic blunder that, ill trained central forces were deployed to flush out the Maoists from their well entrenched terrain, while the highly trained elite jungle warfare units such as the Andhra Pradesh Greyhounds were deployed in laying seize to Osmania University to control and intimidate the struggle for Telangana statehood. What a reversal of strategy, fight canons with peanuts and use the might of the tanks to crush a column of ants. You Mr. Chidambaram have failed on all counts, you and your Government have with your callous attitude, forced nearly 300 Telangana youth to commit suicide and by your ill-conceived and half baked counter insurgency strategy sent an entire battalion of Indian warriors to their death in the jungles of Dantewada.
Mr. Chidambaram, please accept your failure and resign. And a word of advise to your Government, if you continue to murder the aspirations of 3.5 crore Telangana people to a life of justice, self determination and self respect you will be planting the seeds of future Dantewada’s in the hearts of our suppressed and oppressed youth. For if today you fail the people of Telangana, tomorrow you may have to answer to the Nation on this.

Jai Telangana. Jai Hind

Andhra Government Withers Telangana Fields

The Andhra Government is all set to extend the date for closure of canalsin W.Godavari district by 10-15 days to facilitate water supply for paddy fields in the tail-end parts. Not only this, Mr.Suryanarayana Raju, Secretary of the Andhra Pradesh Rytu Karyacharana Samithi has asked the district authorities to supply water for fish farming. According to him, it will be unfair to deprive the fish farmers of water. The Andhra fish ponds will be filled with canal water after watering the paddy fields. This benevolence of the Seemandhra led Government towards the Andhra farmers is in sharp contrast to the attitude of the Government in providing water for the parched fields of the Telangana farmers in Ghanapur.

Crops in as many as 2,500 acres are in the danger of getting withered under Ghanapur ayacut, thanks to the indifference of various departments, that are infested by the Seemandhra settlers. Severe drought conditions in the preceding year, adversely affected the khariff crop in Telangana. The farmers in Ghanapur took up cultivation of paddy, sugarcane and sunflower only after the Government agreed to release water during the rabi season. The debts incurred by the farmers in procuring the required capital for sowing the rabi crop can only be imagined. Water was made available at three instances in the rabi season, during which the crop was grown to a considerable stage. And just before these crops could be harvested the Irrigation Department pulled the proverbial rug from under these hapless Telangana farmers by delaying the release of the final round of water, this insipte of the fact that 25 tmcft of water was released from the Singoor reservoir expressly for the Ghanapur ayacut.

The farmers of Ghanpur, had to approach the State Human Rights Commission (SHRC) for respite from the Administrations inhuman attitude in withholding of water, and the water was released only after Justice B. Subhashan Reddy, Chairman of SHRC directed the Principal Secretary, Minor Irrigation to release the water immediately. According to some farmers, even the release of water would not save the day for farmers as paddy crop in most of the areas at Kishtapur, Macharam and Rapur has already withered, and this water can only save the existing sugarcane crop in some areas.
The step motherly treatment meted out to Telangana and its people is visible all round us. There can be no excuse to condone the callous attitude of a State administration that releases water to save the crops of an impoverished and on the brink of destitution farmers only on orders from the Human Rights Commission. We the people of Telangana can get justice and the right to a livelihood only in our separate state.

Andhra Government’s Plan to Sell Singareni to Coal Mines

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

The Eerie Silence of Narasimhan on Communal Clashes in Hyderabad

The Governor of Andhra Pradesh, has been silent on the communal strife in the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad. The same Narasimhan who was hyper active in leading the State Administrations’ brutal handling of the Telangana struggle has not uttered even a single statement asking for peace save alone convening a high level meeting of the State functionaries to monitor the situation. Even as the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad burned, ESL was busy attending the prize distribution ceremony organized by the Andhra Pradesh branch of the Indian Red Cross Society.

Narasimhan, the protégé of the Seemandhra lobby, had within a fortnight of moving into the Raj Bhawan in Hyderabad, had a report prepared on the Naxal and Maoist influence on the Telangana movement. Now, when all evidence points to the handiwork of outside elements in the communal flare up in Hyderabad, there is not a single directive emanating from the Raj Bhawan on this.

Narasimhan had called a high level meeting of the State Government, and had gone as far as to upbraid the Home Minister, Sabita Indira Reddy on the state’s mild response to the Telangana movement. After, Narasimhan moved into the Raj Bhawan post the orchestrated ouster of ND Tiwari, the Andhra Pradesh administrations response to Telangana movement became draconian, the police wielded lathis, water canons and fired rubber pellets at hapless students with impunity. Neither a single rally nor a public meeting could be held without the sanction of the courts, and then too it was disrupted by the state administration. Contrast this with the current situation, not only were religious processions of both communities allowed in a hyper sensitive atmosphere, but were given the Governments blessings. AK Khan, who led the ruthless charge against the hapless students of Telangana, was but a mute spectator when the mobs went on a communal rampage.

Did not the fact that the same flags totaling over a few lacks were put up across the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad, for both Milad Ul Nabi and Hanuman Jayanti, awaken even the slightest suspicion in the former intelligence Officer ESL Narasimhan and the IG of Police AK Khan. Their unnatural silence on this means only one thing they are aware of the identity of the people responsible for this flare-up but cannot act against this lobby as it is detrimental to their interests. Now that Lagdapati's prophecy about Hyderabad being torn by Communal strife if Telangana is formed has come true. Narasimhan will get his minions in the Intelligence Department busy in preparing a report on the delicate communal balance in Hyderabad that can erupt at any moment if Telangana is formed.

Jai Telangana. Jai Hind
