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.

This Ugadi Let’s Celebrate the Birth of the Telangana era
Ugadi which literally translates into “start of an era” has truly lived up to its name this year and will be chronicled in history as the day that marked the start of the Telangana era. According to Hindu mythology, the creator of the Hindu pantheon Lord Brahma started creation on this day - Chaitra suddha padhyami or the Ugadi day, so too shall this day mark the transition of the Telangana movement from being a passive self flagellating movement for statehood to an active aggressive one with the fight being taken to the aggressor’s door.
The Warangal zilla parishad general body, in its meeting yesterday unanimously passed a resolution urging the government to send back the Andhra officers. It also passed a resolution for recruiting only Telangana people to its ranks. The malafide intentions of the Seemandhra leaders were laid bare in the meeting with details emerging on how several officials from Andhra were posted to Warangal. These officers from Andhra were allegedly posted in Warangal at the behest of the Andhra leaders, who used their clout in Hyderabad. To cite just one instance, the IKP urban project officer was posted in Warangal and the incumbent, belonging to Telangana, was shifted to her parent department, this transfer was carried out at the insistence of Vijayawada MP Lagadapati Rajagopal, one of the most vocal and public faces of the anti Telangana lobby, no points for guessing how much and in what way Lagdapati was rewarded for this use of his power. Not only this there are a large number of Seemandhra settlers occupying posts that rightfully belong to Telangana people in 14 other departments of the Zilla Parishad. If this is the magnitude of the Seemandhra infiltration in just the Zilla Parishad office of a single district, one can only imagine the number of these usurpers occupying Telangana jobs in all our 10 districts.
It is the utter shamelessness of these Seemandhra people that they continue to come and occupy our posts while we talk of evicting them from our state and the audacity of their leadership that actively encourages such behavior. Is it for this continued snathing of our bread and our livelihood that these people talk of living together in brotherhood. Let the Lagdapati’s of Andhra realize that today, the people of Warangal have resolved to throw out these usurpers of our jobs from the ZP’s offices in Warangal, tomorrow it will be the collectorates, the commercial taxes department, the revenue and land records department that will resolve to kick you out of our offices and departments in all the 10 districts. Go, now while you still have the chance of leaving in dignity, tarry any longer and we will throw you out bodily.
Just as Ugadi heralds the beginning of new life with plants (barren until now) acquiring new life, shoots and leaves, so shall it herald new life and hope to the people of Telangana. We have made a beginning in Warangal let us carry it out across the entire region, let the Telangana organizations prepare a list of these settlers occupying our posts and then we will bodily evict them both from our posts and our state. The panchangasravanam for Telangana the 29th state of Independent India has been read, the boundary of Telangana has been drawn by the divine hand and Hyderabad proclaimed its capital, it is just a matter of formality now for the boundary to be drawn on paper.

Kapil Sibal Singed by Telangana Fire
There’s some really heartening news from Hyderabad, the Central Government has finally tasted the wrath of the people of Telangana for turning a deaf ear to our plea for justice. Students of the Central University in Hyderabad forced the retreat of Union Ministers Kapil Sibal and Purandeswari, who left Hyderabad with their tails between their legs, ahead of schedule and cancelling all engagements. These two central ministers were in Hyderabad to inaugurate the new building of CIEFL (Center for English and Foreign Languages) and to attend the meeting of the vice-chancellors of the central universities. Neither the Ministers nor the police were prepared for the siege by the students, who blocked their road demanding a separate state and withdrawal of the bogus Sri Krishna Commission.
Till now the Government at the Center has been successful in turning a deaf ear and a blind eye to the aspirations of the 3.5 crore people of Telangana. It was able to delude itself into believing the reports emanating from the Raj Bhawan and the State Secretariat on the tapering off of the demand for a separate state. However, now that its representatives have been forced to retreat in fear of the student's ire cancelling all engagements, the High Command and her coterie is bound to sit up and take notice. A hundred students have been able to achieve, what the massive rallies and innumerable petitions could not, made the power at the center sit up and take notice of our anger and frustration. We now need to press ahead with this advantage and ensure that no public meeting or visit of the central leadership whether of the Congress, the BJP or the CPI and CPM passes off successfully.
Obviously the unabated suicides in support of a separate state has had no effect on these political parties, over hundred people setting themselves afire has elicited no reaction, save a few empty words of sympathy and advise of forbearance. For long have we showed patience and were content to raise our voice within the walls of our bastions, now the time has come for us to move out of the open air prisons we have been confined to within the campuses, hostels and our homes, and take the fight to the detractors territory. The Telangana lawyers made a start by laying siege to the Parliament in Delhi for a day, at the start of the budget session. We have to follow it up with a peoples march to Delhi culminating in presenting our demand for a separate state to the supreme head of the Indian State, the President of India. If the President has the powers to commute a convicts death sentence then surely She can set the process to commute the living death sentence imposed on the 3.5 crore people of Telangana.
The only way forward for us the children of Telangana is to take the fight for a separate state to the doorsteps of the Power center. Telangana will emerge only when the tremors originating from Hyderabad rock the Parliament in Delhi.

We do not need these Politicians to Achieve Telangana State
Danam Nagender, the AP Health Minister refused to sign the memorandum being prepared by Telangana Congress legislators, for submission to the Sri Krishna Commission in support of a separate state. The logic given by the Health Minister was, that it may give the wrong signal to the High Command, who may not like the Telangana Legislators submitting a separate memorandum, as the APCC president was authorized by the Central leadership to submit his report to the panel. Needless to say, Nagender is more loyal to the High Command in Delhi than he is to the electorate who put him in the Assembly. And everyone knows the view point that will be put forward by the Seemandhra dominated APCC.
It is a mute point, that the Sri Krishna Commission is a bogus time pass commission, set up by the Congress at the Center to put Telangana’s statehood in cold storage. What is disappointing is the attitude of the Telangana legislators and MP’s to the demands of its citizens. The only question we have of Nagender is, We can understand your abhorrence to relinquishing your office of profit in the current set up, we can understand your reluctance to resigning from your elected post which may well be the last time you occupy an elected office, but what we cannot understand and forgive is, your refusal to sign the Memorandum in favor of the state of Telangana. We have asked for proof of your loyalty to us and our state and you have failed miserably.
It is tragedy of Telangana that our history is littered with the treachery of our leaders. The story is the same from M. Chenna Reddy and his band of bandits in 1969 to the current crop of traitors like Nagender. None of these elected representatives have shown the courage to take on the power in the center nor the leadership to steer the movement to Statehood. While at the one end we have the Congressmen looking towards the High Command in Delhi, cowering in fear at each imagined displeasure and rejoicing at every smile, while at the other end we have KCR and Vijayshanti of the TRS, who cling on like limpets to their seats in Parliament, neither has attended the Parliament proceedings nor raised Telangana’s voice in the Central hall. KCR, please say how many times have you raised the slogan of “Jai Telangana” in the over 30 days that Parliament has been in session.
We the people of Telangana, do not need you and your ilk to carve out our state, we have the will and the resolve to do it under own steam. If you harbor the misguided impression that we need you to realize our dream of Telangana, please disabuse yourself of this illusion. Telangana has been betrayed by its politicians time and again and this time round we will not make the same mistakes as our fathers by believing in you. The future of Telangana is too precious to be left to your machinations and greed. It is we the people of Telangana who will bring in the birth of the 29th state of India.

Hyderabad Developed at the Cost of Other Cities in AP, Truth Laid Bare
The main contention of the Seemandhra people to the creation of Telangana is the status of Hyderabad. They are willing to set the region free if Hyderabad is either made the Joint Capital or a Union Territory. It is like asking a mother to go free, if she leaves her nubile and beautiful daughter in the captors clutches. The argument put forth by these people is that Hyderabad was developed at the expense of other cities. What blasphemy, Hyderabad was made the capital of Andhra Pradesh because it was the most developed city in the region, it was next only to Delhi in terms of infrastructure and beauty, infact Dr.Ambedkar was so impressed by the city that he proposed it’s being made the Nation’s capital.
Hyderabad was the most developed and progressive state in the entire country when it was annexed with the Andhra region. It was an ideal city with educational institutions, industries, water bodies, sewage system, roads network and power supply. Hyderabad the city of lakes and plenty has in the last 50 years been turned into a nightmare, where the citizens thirst for water in summer and in the rainy season are forced out of their homes by flood waters. There has been no real development in the city for the last 50 years, neither has the water supply been augmented nor the sewage and water works network revamped.
Infact the opposite has occurred successive Seemandhra led Governments have officially usurped public lands by first filling up lakes and then building colonies, which were sold to the settlers from Andhra and Rayalseema. Dilsukhnagar, Saroornagar, Lower tankbund, Masabtank, Nallakunta are a few of the colonies that have been built over filled up lakes. This has both depleted the water supply to the city and choked up the city’s lungs so that today Hyderabad sweats 10 months in a year.
Hyderabad must be the only city in the world which suffers from floods caused by the overflow of sewage and rainwater. The water and sewage system built by the Nizams in the 1940’s and 1950’s serves the city’s needs to this day. The only visible change is the burst out of concrete sores that these settlers have built across the city. Till yesterday, they were busy plundering and spoiling the City from within, today they have spread their tentacles to the adjoining areas. The Natural heritage of the city, the pre historic rock formations surrounding Hyderabad are being dynamited away to provide fodder to these settlers granite mills, landscapes which could in the future be a revenue earner for the state aka Yellow Stone Natural Park of USA is today being sold off as prime real estate.
Hyderabad, the city of romance is today the bone of contention between its children who would nurture the city with the love it deserves and the Seemandhra settlers, the self appointed pimps who are bent on scraping away the last fig leaf. If only cities could speak, Hyderabad would kick its exploiters back to their Kurnools and Vishakapatnams.

A Very Loud and Clear No to Rayalseema’s Wish of Remaining with Telangana
A section of Rayalseema legislators led by J.C. Diwakar Reddy are proposing the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh into two states Andhra and Greater Rayalseema comprising of Telangana and Rayalseema. Is it a wonder that these Rayalseema leaders are wary of Andhra’s and prove the saying that two crooks cannot stay in the same house. The Rayalseema leaders contention is that Rayalseema would suffer the most if the state was bifurcated. According to them, Andhra has nothing to lose but Rayalseema will have to depend on Telangana for river water and to mitigate this dependency they believe it is more beneficial if Rayalseema merges with Telangana.
What a joke! how can these Rayalseema leaders even think that we will be willing to live with them. Dividing the state into Andhra and Telangana+Rayalseema, will be like rescuing a forcibly confined lady from one brothel and selling her into another. Only a perverted mind could think of this proposal and it shows the Rayalseema lobby’s utter callousness and disregard to the sentiments of 3.5 crore Telangana people. Is it for this continuation of the exploitation that over 250 Telangana youth commit suicide in the last four months, is it for this merger with the Seema bandicoots that 370 students laid down their lives in 1969, is it for this handing over of Telangana from one rapist to the next that our people have continued their struggle for the last 50 years. From being a land of honey and milk for a thousand years, right from the glorious period of the Kakatiyas to the Asaf Jahi’s, we have within five decades of being forcibly confined to Andhra Pradesh been systematically degraded to a life of penury. Our youth have no avenues to advancement and fall prey to extremist ideology, our farmers who till half a century back ploughed fields of gold today commit suicide in their barren lands.
Just as a murderer sees visions of his victims, so do these Rayalseema people believe that we will do to them as they have done to us. My advice to Diwakar Reddy and his fellow clowns is, do not delude yourself into thinking that we will entertain any proposal for a Telangana+Rayalseema state. We will sooner lay down our lives than live with you. Maybe, Diwakar Reddy and his fellow Rayalseema goons are scared that we may pay them back in their own currency. Rest Assured Diwakar Reddy, we the people of Telangana are just and humane and will work with the center and our neighbors to work out an equitable distribution of river waters.
We only request you to leave our land and let us live in peace and prosperity. We have five decades of backwardness to surmount, all our energies will be employed in rebuilding our state and will leave no time for us to persecute you and your ilk. You have to decide now either to part as friends and good neighbors or be thrown out tomorrow as usurpers. Whether you decide to live with Andhra or go your separate way is of no concern to us, just leave Telangana.

Whether you decide to live with Andhra or go your separate way is of no concern to us, just leave Telangana.
Jai Telangana. Jai Hind

The Tentacles of the Seemandhra Moneybags Run Deep and Wide
The root cause of the Seemandhra opposition to the free state of Telangana is the fear of their illicit agreements with the AP Government coming to light. The principal opponents to the Telangana state are the business houses, which proliferated during the reign of Naidu and YSR, these businesses are easy to identify, they came in from nowhere, were promoted by the landlords from the Andhra and Rayalseema region, and the main area of operations for these businesses was Government contracts whether it be mining, construction, power, etc.
The Seemandhra movement for a unified Andhra state has died down and they are back in business, having received assurance from the Center and the State administration on the continuance of status quo, after paying the blood money of 10,000 crores to the Congress Party fund. The latest addition to the Government sanctioned plunder of the states resources is the clearance given to the 445-MW capacity Konaseema private power project to start power generation at a rate of Rs 2.80 a unit. The initial price at which the project was commissioned was Rs. 1.75 per unit, the Government’s revised offer now is a whopping 60% above the original price. And what of the antecedents of the owners of Konaseema Power Project, it is promoted by VBC (Visakhapatnam Bottling Company), a business house that has been in and out of BIFR until 2001, when it suddenly became a profit making company. Surprisingly, the fortunes of this company tail in with the Naidu and YSR regimes.
Not only this, a look at the power purchase agreements the State Government has entered into with Private Power Companies in the last decade, will throw more light on how these businesses got entrenched into the system. The Government entered into a MOU with GVK in 1996 for purchasing power at a rate of Rs.1.80, with Spectrum in 1997 at Rs.1.99, with LANCO in 1999 at Rs.2.57 and finally now with Konaseema at Rs.2.80. This has been commented upon by the Comptroller and Auditor General in almost all its audits, but was conveniently swept under the carpet. As against this, Reliance Power has contracted to build Tilaiya 4,000 MW Ultra Mega Power Project at a tariff of just Rs.1.77 per unit.!!! No wonder these business houses collectively paid silence money to the Central Leadership, to backtrack on its commitment to form a separate state.
This plunder of the state’s coffers and resources by the Seemandhra white collar bandits with the collusion of the State administration cannot go on forever. And the time will come when these buccaneers can no longer purchase the future of Telangana. The day is not far when the voice of 3.5 crore people will make itself heard above the jingle of silver and the rustle of notes. And that day Telangana will be a reality.

Naidu Unleashes Private Army on Telangana Lawyers
The underlying malevolence and hatred the Seemandhra leadership has towards the Telangana people was demonstrated the other day, when Chandrababu Naidu’s private army brutally attacked and injured members of the Telangana lawyers forum at Indira Park in Hyderabad.
The crime for which the lawyers were subjected to skull cracking blows from Naidu’s soldiers was asking him, to spell out his stand on the status of a separate Telangana state. It was these inflammatory words “Telangana state” that acted as the red flag for the violence that was unleashed on the lawyers.
The incident highlighted the benign patronage the anti Telangana forces enjoy in the State of AP, the police forces which were present on the spot were mute spectators to this mayhem and later swung into action by arresting the lawyers, the victims of this hate wave and let Naidu’s henchmen go free.
Not only this, protests by Telangana citizens against this incident across the region were disrupted by the police and the voice of the people silenced. In the last two days the state administration went on a spree arresting lawyers and those supporting them, the list of people arrested includes scores of advocates in Hyderabad, Nizamabad, Adilabad, not only this about 50 youths who were protesting the arrest of the advocates were taken into preventive custody.
While the police went all out to arrest all those speaking against Naidu’s private army the guilty were roaming the city free as birds, secure in the patronage they enjoy in the sate of AP and the knowledge that not a finger of law will dare to touch them. The same force that used rubber pellets, water canons, and lathi’s to control a students proposed march, watches silently as Naidu’s army cracks skulls and breaks bones. The same state administration which gives the excuse of buses being burnt and stoned, to deploy the elite greyhound force in Osmania University looks the other way when private armies are let loose on peaceful demonstrations.
And to add salt to the wounds of Telangana, no action has been taken till date save the arrest of a couple of minor minions of Naidu two days after the event. This incident has shown to the Nation that there is no justice for Telangana people in Andhra Pradesh, and it is in the interests of humanity and social justice that Telangana be formed.
If the Seemandhra people and the state administration believe, that they can scare us into silence on the demand for a separate state, then they are sadly mistaken. Instances like this will reinforce our determination to carve out our destiny and our state of Telangana.

Unabated Arrests of Telangana Activists
The Adilabad police yesterday arrested five pro-Telangana activists for staging a rasta roko near Asifabad bus stand in Adilabad. This is the first time agitators were arrested for blocking traffic while demonstrating against the Government anywhere in India. This shows the State administrations increasing frustration in its ability to control and subdue the people’s movement. The incident a precursor of things to come, the day is not far when Telangana agitators will be arrested for raising Jai Telangana slogans on the pretext of noise pollution.
The State Government has been given strict instructions by the center that is manipulated by the Seemandhra moneybags to curb and derail the movement for a separate state of Telangana. And in keeping with their part of the bargain state administration and the police are using every small pretext to unleash violence as witnessed many times in Osmania and Kakatiya University and innumerable other incidents across the region. But, this arrest of people for blockading traffic is a new low.
This arrest on such frivolous grounds is not to be taken as being ridiculous, there is a deep conspiracy behind it. The state administration plans to use such frivolous excuses to arrest and imprison our youth and force them to react in anger and violence. The Center’s game plan is obvious besmirch the demand for a separate state, as being stage managed by the naxals and Maoists and it will give the Center a valid reason to deny the people of Telangana, the right of self determination. This bogey was first raised by P Chidambaram in the all party meeting, post the Seemandhra’s donation of 10,000 crore rupees to the Congress party fund and was slowly fed by the State administration. However the Supreme Court called the Government’s bluff when it was unable to show any concrete proof of naxal and maoist influence.
Now the State Administration has changed tactics and is working towards making it impossible for us to raise our voice for a separate state by closing all avenues of democratic forms of protest. It plans on forcing us to resort to violence and justify its claims of extremist involvement in our movement. We need to guard our selves from falling into the Center’s trap and carry on our protest in peace and following all democratic principles. We need to be alert and guard ourselves from falling into the Government’s well laid trap of resorting to violence.
The journey to statehood may be difficult but ultimate victory is ours.
