NaMo

Like many in the state I was eager to hear what Mr. Narendra Modi would speak at LB stadium.  His speech was not inspiring.  He just quoted the facts that everybody knew.  He did not present his vision of India/Bharat and what plans he has to make it realise.  Youth is worried about the situation in India and NaMO is worried about youth.  But what will he do for betterment of the youth?  What are his plans for upliftment of the women and downtrodden classes?  I think he should bring forth the plans he have for making India a developed country. 

Mr. Modi, before coming to the venue met the rich and powerful private persons in the state.  I think that is an indication for his priorities.  His praise for NTR will not be appreciated by Telangaana people at this juncture. “Yes we can, yes we will”, doesn’t sound original or ‘desi’.  His addressing of the present turmoil in state is inadequate.  I felt, “he came, he failed to conquer, and he went”.

AP CM Kiran Kumar Reddy says that Modi had acted as he met actors immediately before arrival to the venue.  I think all politicians are actors.  Everyday we see politicians giving contradictory statements, or denying what they said and sometimes even blaming the media or journalists, saying that they were wrongly interpreted.  In the present situation of formation of Telangaana state everyday every politician of Seemandhra expresses contradictory statements every hour with great seriousness. 

For the past three years every MLA and MP with origins in Seemaandhra said they would abide by the ‘High Command” decision or Union government’s dictat.  But the moment decision on Telangaana is announced all these people simply say that it is done in haste and without any consideration.  Watching the expressions and body language lets us know how biased every Seemandhra Politician is. 

The BJP says if it comes to power it will form Telangaana state within 100 days.  But in the parliament Venkaiah Naidu says congress has not addressed the Seemandhra people’s sentiments and taken a hasty decision and that is the cause of all the reverse agitation in Seemandhra.  His impatient long face as the discussion on Telangaana was going in Rajya Sabha will not be forgotten by Telanganites.  Also when Modi came to Hyderabad he talks about Jai Andhra agitation and gathering then, conveniently forgetting the huge gathering at Nizam’s college when Mrs. Sushma Swaraj addressed Telangaana youth in December 2009.  He and Telugu Desam Naidu are behind the BJP’s failure to form Telangaana when three other new states formed in the nation during BJP rule.  Even now given a chance, these two Seema Naidus will hinder the formation of Telangaana state. 

Chandra Babu Naidu, leader of a regional party and Venkaiah Naidu, a leader in national party, fail to consider Telangaana issue in a democratic way.  Belonging to Seemandhra they are thinking locally, to be precise, as personal issue and becoming emotional.  They are giving importance to their native place and people but are not considering the constitutional rights of Telangaana.  If the politicians rise above personal feelings, and think in larger interests of people of all regions and religions, people will have faith in democracy.  Otherwise there will always be agitations.

When it comes to acting, I think KKR should be given best actor award for the role he is playing in the state now.  Though he speaks weird Telugu in media interviews, he actually can speak good Telugu when emotional. 

Whatever is going on in Andhra Pradesh is worrying people of all regions.  Only politicians are having good time hosting breakfast, lunch and dinner to their colleagues and having get-togethers.  I pray that these dramas should end and peace prevail in all the regions of the state.
