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.

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.

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.

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.

Communal Clashes in Hyderabad – Handiwork of Anti-Telangana Lobby

The city of Hyderabad has for the last few days been racked by communal clashes. The peace loving people of Hyderabad have been thrown into communal strife after a lapse of nearly two decades of peace. In the past, there has always been a visible emotionally charged trigger that set off these violent incidents, starting with the Rameezabi case in the late 70’s to the Babri Masjid demolition in the early 90’s. This time round there has been no trigger for the spate of senseless violence that the city is witnessing.

There were indications emanating from several quarters that were indicative of the coming violence for the last fortnight. The ground was being carefully prepared to create a situation whereby the Telangana struggle could be relegated to the back pages of the dailies prior to receiving a quiet burial by the Sri Krishna Commission. The first sign of this came from Lagdapati, the voice of the anti Telangana lobby, he made a statement last week in Vijayawada prophesizing the city of Hyderabad will be besieged by anti National forces if Telangana is formed. And within a fortnight the city of Hyderabad is afflicted by a communal fire that started with no visible and understandable reason.

The current flare-up of communal passions has been planned with precision and perfect timing. The people of the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad from both communities are surprised at the violent turn of trivial incidents, which no one could foresee. All this points to an outside hand, and to know who is behind this carnage of a peaceful city, we need only follow the benefits trail. The immediate fallout of the current situation is the issue of Telangana’s statehood, which has been relegated to the back ground, and this benefits the Telangana detractors. It is upto to us the people of Hyderabad to see to it that the nefarious intentions of these anti social elements are defeated.

It is my earnest appeal to our Brothers and Sisters in Hyderabad do not fall into the clutches of our common enemy and fall prey to his machinations. Our enemy are the people who are opposed to our State of Telangana. He is both ruthless and cunning to pit one brother against the other. Let us stand united in this hour of need of our beloved city, Hyderabad. Like the British our detractors plan on dividing us to continue with their tyranny over our region. Remember we have a higher cause calling us, the liberation of our motherland from the clutches of these Seemandhra usurpers. And we can achieve it only if we stand united and turn a deaf ear to the words of these serpents. For if today we fall prey to his insinuations, we will lose our city and our state of Telangana forever.

The Glorious History of Telangana Submerged Under Government Apathy

Telangana has a rich history of 3000 years, and this can be seen in the ruins that dot the districts of Warangal, Hyderabad and Nalgonda. The tourism potential of Telangana is immense, it is bestowed with a bounty of cultural and religious relics and natural landscapes for adventure sports. Alas, none of this has been advertised and publicized till date. For the successive Seemandhra Government’s, tourism ministers the tourist potential in Telangana started with the Charminar and ended with the pearls in Hyderabad, with a minor mentions of the Warangal fort and Salarjung Museum. Contrast, this with the way Vishakapatnam has been touted as a must visit tourist spot in Andhra Pradesh with its Arukku valley and Borra Caves.

In the last few decades the number of tourists visiting Vishakapatnam, Vijayawada, and Chittor has increased at more than double the rate for Warangal and Nalgonda combined. Warangal has a rich tapestry of historical relics, the architectural marvel of the 1000 pillar temple, the Warangal fort, and the beauty of the stone carvings in Ramappa temple, it has the potential to attract both foreign and domestic tourists. How many people in the country know of Nagarjuna Sagar Konda? It is a manifestation of mans efforts to save his history and provide for water security of his progeny. It can with a little effort be integrated into the Buddhist circuit, resulting in attracting the hordes of Buddhist pilgrims. Promoting tourism in Telangana, would have enriched the State and provided a decent standard of living to its citizens. But, this subject has never even been brought up by successive Seemandhra Governments of AP. Forget investing in the tourism potential of the Telangana region, the Andhra Government is hell bent on destroying the very edifices that can earn revenue for the State of Telangana.

The Government in its haste to develop the connectivity to Vijayawada, has gone ahead with starting work on building a 4 lane highway connecting it to Hyderabad. This Highway will wipe out 26 historically significant archeological monuments. Beginning with the ‘kos minars' or milestones from the Qutub Shahi dynasty, Chalukyan and Kakatiya period temples, mosques from the Mughal era, which can be creatively packaged and sold as a “Highway Tourism Project” will be turned to dust. Most important of all, there’s a 13th century Shiva temple from the Kakatiya period, located just before Chityal, in Warangal having a ‘garba gruha', ‘arthamandapa', ‘maha mandapa' and a four-pillared ‘Nandi mandapa', a part of the temple is buried under the existing road, and needs to be excavated. The government instead of saving this monument is intent on burying it still deeper into eternity by running a bull dozer over it.

I have seen places in India and abroad with far less to see but packaged as the ultimate destinations for travelers looking at a flavor of ancient culture. Tourism in Telangana, is never been a subject of debate or interest, but it can bring undreamed of prosperity to a State, witness Rajasthan, Kerala and now Gujarat. However, these states have been promoted by their leaders, none of them have been crushed into the dust like the history and culture of Telangana.

Tourism for Telangana the 29th state of India, will be one of the main sources of revenue, and it is incumbent upon us to safe guard our monuments and heritage, and force the abandonment of this Hyderabad-Vijayawada 4 lane highway.

Where Have all the Industries of Telangana Gone

The history of Telangana from the period of the Satavahanas, to the Asaf Jahi’s is dotted with the benevolence of its rulers. Each dynasty which ruled over the region enriched its culture and the lives of its citizens. However, since the forcible merger of the Telangana nee Hyderabad state with the Andhra region, there has been a drastic reversal in fortunes of its citizens. Successive Andhra and Rayalseema regimes have reduced a once prosperous people to a pile of bones and skin, who commit suicide at the prospect of facing another year of failed crops.

The people of Telangana have since the merger of the state with Andhra districts of erstwhile Madras state, have been progressively marginalized, their lands have been made barren by diverting their rightful share of waters to the verdant fields of Seema Andhra region. The factories where its workers earned their livelihood have been systematically run down to sickness, sold off and the factory lands converted to sprawling colonies for the settlers.

In 1956, when Telangana state (Hyderabad state) was merged to form Andhra Pradesh, the region was a buzz of activity with several large thriving industries, chief among which were the Azam Jahi Mills, Nizam Sugar Factory, DBR Mills, Sirpur Sir Silk Mills, Deccan Glass factory, Praga Tools, Soda factory, Iron factory , Firangula factory, and the Antargam spinning mills. These factories collectively employed over 1,00,000 workers in Telangana. Save for the lone Praga Tools which is alive today all the others have been meticulously nurtured to sickness and closure. There is a single story that binds the closure of these industries and loss of livelihood of thousands of Telangana workers, it is a story of Government apathy, systematic ruin of a thriving industry, followed by a distress sale to Seemandhra businessmen, who later converted the industrial land into housing colonies.

The Nizam Sugar Factory in Bodhan was at one time Asia’s biggest sugar factory. During the time of Nizam the Sugar Factory's holdings included over 1,600 square kilometres of land, 14 village camps and Hospital. Other services that were provided for the children of employees included a high school, junior and degree colleges. The factory was managed into sickness by the cadre which was primarily deputed from the Andhra region. It was finally sold at a throw away price to Gokaraju Rangaraju from W.Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh.

The story of the Azam Jahi Mills is similar, this was established in Warangal during Nizams rule and provided livelihood to about 15000 people in Warangal. It was also managed to sickness, closed down and the Mills lands sold as real estate under YSR. A housing colony is being built on this prime land in the heart of Warangal.

Contrast this with the Seemandhra Government’s patronage and wholeheartedness in reviving the sick Vizag Steel Plant at a cost of 1,500 crores. It would have taken this amount to revive all the 8 industries in Telangana, and saved the livelihood of over a lack of people. But, this would not have suited the Seemandhra game plan, whose mission has always been to plunder and deprive the people of Telangana of their right to livelihood. The people of Rayalseema and Andhra have prospered by exploiting the people of Telangana, and the only way ahead for the state of Telangana to prosper is to break free of these Seemandhra clutches.

The Seemandhra Settlers can Never Belong to Hyderabad

The city of Hyderabad is known for its tolerant attitude and composite culture. This is a culture that is a result of the interactions and amalgamations of many peoples, languages and their ways of living. Hyderabad has a history of more than 400 years, and is popularly referred to as the “ganga-jumna tehzeeb”, whose literal translation means an amalgamation of all cultures.

For nearly 350 years from the time Sultan Muhammad Quli swam across the river Musi to meet his beloved Bhagmati who he later married and named Hyder Mahal, and founded the city of Hyderabad as a token of his love, the city was nurtured by all who came the Hindus and Muslims, Armenians, Anglo-Indians, Parsis, Shias from Uttar Pradesh and Sikhs and Punjab. While it was the administrative skills of the North Indians that made Hyderabad the most well governed of all princely states. It was the genius of Ali Nawaz Jung, an engineer in the Nizam’s Government who prepared a comprehensive water resources development plan under which several medium sized irrigation projects were undertaken, notable among them being Pocharam, Dindi, Palair, Wyra, Manair and anicuts at Ghanpur on Manjira and Khanapur on Godavari. These water reservoirs were till the 1950’s supplying ample amount of water to the Telangana region.

Since the 1950’s, the city of Hyderabad has seen a reversal of fortune, with those coming to the city from the Seema and Andhra regions, coming to pillage and the city and its people of their prosperity and livelihood. From a life of abundance the people of Hyderabad were reduced to paupers in their own home.

For these people, Hyderabad was the proverbial el dorado, they came they pillaged and continue to plunder. Industries set up by the Nizam to fuel the growth of the region were systematically run down by successive Andhra and Rayalseema regimes, and the lands belonging to these industries sold for their real estate value. Prime examples of this are the Azam Jahi Mills and the Nizam Sugar Factory. Not only did this deprive the state of its revenues but also caused the loss of livelihood to families of over 15,000 workers in Azam Jahi Mills and 10,000 workers in Nizam Sugar Factory.

At the root of this are the returns on investment to be got from Real estate. This story is repeated in the development of the Greater Hyderabad region, large tracts of land were acquired from the Natives, under threat of Government acquisition. Fearing their lands will be acquired by the Government for paltry sums, the Natives sold their lands to these settlers at throw away rates, and once this acquisition was completed the Government notice was annulled. This daylight robbery was a well thought out and executed with the collusion of the Seema Andhra led political regime in the State, the Government Officers and the businessmen.

These carpet baggers from Seema and Andhra made their pile of money by grasping and selling Hyderabad’s lands and invested the money in their own districts. Had there not been a slump in the real estate market, these people would have sold off their ill acquired lands and scooted back to their own districts. It is precisely because of this attitude of pillage and run why these Andhra and Seema settlers can never belong to Hyderabad and Telangana.

Keep Your Eyes Open to Avoid Being Short Changed by the Dubious Duo D. Prasad Rao and V. Vasanth Kumar

The AP Government has appointed a cabinet sub-committee headed by Revenue Minister D. Prasada Rao to work out the modalities for allotment of government and private land for cultivation to self-help groups of women on lease. The other committee members include Ministers N. Raghuveera Reddy (Agriculture) and V. Vasanth Kumar (Rural Development).

This committee was constituted last week as a follow-up action in tune with the decision taken by the Cabinet at its meeting on March 6 which cleared a draft of a bill for leasing out Government and Private Land to group of women members of the self-help groups for a period five years for developing such lands under government schemes. The period of the lease will be 5 years.
All’s good so far, the intentions are laudable but we know that Telangana women will be the last to benefit from these allotments. We the people of Telangana need to keep a hawk’s eye on the allotment of these land leases and ensure the self help groups from Telangana are awarded their rightful share of the land. If one goes by the origin and history of these members of the committee, there is no way Telangana women can get a just share of the allotment. The antecedents of Raghuveera and V. Vasanth Kumar are indicative of the injustice that will be meted out to our people, if we are not alert. Raghuveera is a die hard Andhrite from Ananthpur while V. Vasanth Kumar, the Ungutur MLA has been quiet vocal on his propagation of anti-Telangana people. Just the other day, Vasanth Kumar, was speaking about launching a signature campaign in favor of the Polavaram project, which if completed will bring desolation and ruin to the Khammam district of Telangana. That these people will brazen out any venture that benefits the Seema Andhra populace at the expense of Telangana is a moot point and has been proven many times over.
We the people of Telangana, right from the people working in the revenue and land records, to the Zilla Parishad and the representatives in the State Assembly, need to keep a tight check on the allotment of these lands, we not only need to ensure the Women of Telangana get an equitable share but also that these allotted lands are viable. If left to these Seemandhra representatives the lion’s share of the allotment will go to women from the Seema Andhra regions, while Telangana women are awarded a minuscule share of the allotments and the type of land allotted to the Telangana women will be arid, non-cultivable and a burden on an already challenged people.
We have to keep our fight alive on all fronts and not give a moments respite to the Seemandhra leaders. For if we relax our vigil by even a few degrees the loss will be immeasurable. We need to remember that Telangana will be a reality once these settlers from Andhra and Rayalseema realize that they can no longer subjugate Telangana at will.

Polavaram and the Relentless Plunder of Telangana

Even as the state is caught in the throes of separation, and the youth of Telangana commit suicide in desperation at the deafening silence of the Center’s response to the 3.5 crore Indians cry for justice and deliverance, the aggressors and rapists of Telangana continue to plunder at region.

Polavarum, or rather the Indira Sagar project is relentlessly being pushed across by the Andhra leaders. It is the clinching evidence that will nail the lies on why these Andhra’s object to the Telangana state. The Polavarum project will sacrifice over 200 villages of Khammam district to irrigate and enrich the Andhra fields in Godavari, Krishna and Vizag districts and as a bonus provide drinking water to the city of Vizag and a continuous supply of water to the Vizag Steel Plant. This scourge of Telangana, called Polavaram will bring desolation and despair to over 2,00,000 Telangana people by submerging their lands and indirectly affect the livelihood and future of another 10,00,000 people living in the upstream areas.

Polavaram is an example of the impunity and callousness with which Telangana and its people have been systematically stripped of their basic human rights of right to livelihood and right to own property. The Polavarum project will submerge over 200 villages in Khammam and aggravate the misery of the Telangana farmers upstream. The dam created from the Polavaram barrage will reach 145 Kms upstream and prevent Dummugudem hydropower to generate power as planned. Dummugudem provides power for Devadula (Chokka Rao) lift irrigation scheme that will supply water to the drought prone Telangana areas. Polavaram will not only impoverish the fragile livelihood of the people living in the Dams area, but will also snuff out the life of the regions serviced by the Devadula project. That the Andhra Government with the Center blessings plans to go ahead with creating this monster that will make the already obese child, the Andhra farmers still more obese by feeding it with the food of the undernourished child the Tealangana farmers, shows the step motherly treatment the people of Telangana have been receiving for the last 50 years.

The AP Government is trying to sweeten the Polavarum project for Orissa and Madhya Pradesh, each of them will get 1.5 TMC and 5 TMC of water respectively, as well as the right to use the waterways for transportation at lower rates. While these modalities of recompensing the other states are being worked out. No such relief will be available to the Telangana region, as it is still an occupied territory within the Seemandhra grasp. It is a sorry state of affairs that in this Nation of ours not a voice is raised against this planned Government sanctioned rape of a region.

Against this back drop, the congress MLA’s from the coastal region led by the Ungutur MLA, V. Vasanth Kumar have embarked on a public awareness campaign to educate people on the benefits of the project. These people also plan on a signature campaign in Visakhapatnam, East and West Godavari and Krishna districts, to mobilize people against the "anti-Polavaram forces". Pray, can anyone tell me how you can raise public awareness and educate people on a project that will annihilate the lives of 3.5 lakh people. Hitler could surely have learnt a few lessons from these Andhra Nazi’s on how to kill an entire region and race in full view of the world, and with the benign blessings of the Central Leadership.
If the Nation does not wake up to the tragedy of Telangana today and see that the region is set free from the Seemandhra clutches, tomorrow it may be too late. Today we plead for a separate state heed our cry for justice, do not let your silence push us to a state confrontation. Decide now whether you want Telangana in peace or with blood on your hands.
Jai Telangana. Jai Hind.

Beware of Seemandhra’s Machinations

Not a day passes without the heinous intentions of the Seemandhra people being laid bare. The latest illustration of their malafide intentions was given by D. Siva Ramulu Naidu, a retired Executive Engineer with the Irrigation and Power department, in his representation to the time pass Sri Krishna Commission, he appealed that all four regions of the state viz Coastal Andhra, Telangana, Greater Hyderabad and Rayalaseema be given a Deputy Chief Minister each to look after the needs of their respective territories. Look at the maliciousness of the words, this man has shamelessly delinked Greater Hyderabad from Telangana, either he is insane or is so sunk in greed and lust that he has the guts to say Greater Hyderabad is a separate region . These Andhra’s are so morally corrupt as to sever a mothers body and trade in her vital organs. The levels to which they are willing to stoop to keep Hyderabad and its modesty within their lecherous grasp is beyond human decency.

We have been saying time and again that these Seemandhra rapists have set their lustful filled eyes on Hyderabad, that too on Greater Hyderabad, and no points for guessing the reasons. These elements have acquired large tracts of land around Hyderabad, mostly Government land at throw away prices, and it is the fear of having these illegally acquired lands being investigated and seized by the Government of Telangana that is behind all this dramabaazi on Telugu brotherhood. Maybe like several others of his band Ramulu has illegal land holdings in and around Hyderabad, hence this shot in the dark on four regions. I request the anti corruption bureau to investigate the financial condition of D. Siva Ramulu Naidu, there are sure to be plenty of skeletons in his house and the ACB will find that this man’s finances are way above what he could have earned legally in his entire career, not once but twice over.

The unholy intentions of these people is to keep Hyderabad within their tentacles at all costs. Not a day passes by without these white collared bandits spouting forth some inane excuse or the other against Telangana. Till a few days back we had the Home Ministry, the Governor and the Police speaking about Maoist infiltration in the struggle for Telangana’s statehood. This falsehood was perpetrated by the Seemandhra leadership and its stooges in the Center and the Raj Bhawan in Hyderabad to justify the police atrocities against the people of Telangana. And it took, no less an authority than the Supreme Court of India to put a stop these lies of the Nazi’s of Andhra.

Enough is enough, we have tolerated the greed and rapaciousness of these Seemandhras for 50 long years. The time for negotiations is over, what is needed is direct action, as a first step let us start weeding out these Seemaandhras from our land. Let no Seemandhra be allowed to work in our offices or study in our colleges. Let us make an example of Seemandhra infiltrators enrolled in our Universities and force them to go back. It is only when these people feel our boots on their backsides will they leave our Motherland.

Jai Telangana. Jai Hind.
