Political Parties - Biased High Commands

The contestants in Telangana are declared.  Canvassing by all the parties is zooming.  People of Telangana should think twice before casting their vote for assembly and parliament. 

Telangana statehood decision is taken and the appointed day is 2^nd June this year. Before this, the elections results will be out.  There are so many undecided issues in the division of the state, the most important being employment, water and educational opportunities, not to forget the burden of joint capital and governor’s rule in Hyderabad, a poisonous nail in the body of Telangana.  The decision on these issues will be decided by the Telangana and Andhra P assemblies.  Telanganites should not forget the dubious way by which Hyderabad state was merged with Andhra to form Andhra Pradesh in 1956.  It took sixty years, more than 1500 lives of youth sacrificed and unrelenting agitations to get demerger, that too with unconstitutional riders.  The fate of Telangana state depends on the decisiveness of the Telangana assembly and its leader.  This vote impacts the Telangana future generations. 

In Telangana the main contestants are two national parties and two regional parties.  These parties are influenced by the interests of their ‘high commands’.  The high command of Congress is in Delhi under Sonia Gandhi.  The core committee decides all the issues in Delhi with an interest to gain more seats not only regionally but nationally.  Priority is given for Central power.  The members of core committee are influenced by regional satraps.  The treacherous Seemandhra congress MPs who agreed to abide by high command decision on Telangana have unabashedly sprayed poisonous gas on the speaker and members of parliament to immobilize and scuttle the introduction of Telangana bill in parliament.  For people of Andhra origin their high command is not party, it is their property; their region and people stand next as they have to get elected from their region by their people.  In view of retaining their wealth and power they consider Andhra people as their high command. The Telangana congress MPs are ever abiding to their high command in Delhi and  to the Seemandhra junta in AP.  They think they can buy Telangana votes with money as people here are poor and get influenced by money and liquor and vote whoever pays them more.  Telangana agitation did bring some change here, the results in by-elections stand evidence.

BJP is the other national party which again operates from Delhi. The central committee has Venkaiah Naidu as a member who is a Seemandhra.  His strong influence and collusion with Chandra Babu Naidu has made some BJP leaders to say not to bring forth the Telangana Bill in the last parliament session.  When Sushma Swaraj said that she did not know that Telangana Bill is introduced in Loksabha every Telanganite felt as backstabbed.  The negative feeling continues.  Chandrababu Naidu and Venkaiah Naidu together prevented the formation of Telangana in 2002 by BJP government.  Again together created as many hurdles as possible to prevent the smooth passage of Telangana Bill in both houses of parliament.  They are the forces behind the declaration Hyderabad as Joint capital for ten years.  If BJP wins and Naidu is at helm of affairs we do not know what amendments will be made in constitution to make Telangana state a subservient to Seemaandhra. 

TDP is the important regional party; high command Chandrababu Naidu was intolerant to hear the word Telangana.  His high command is Andhra people and whatever decisions he takes it is only in the interests of that region.  The other regional parties YSRCP, Jai Samaikyandhra Party and Janasena party high commands are all Andhra leaders and their priority is protecting the interests of Andhras.  Not to forget is the Loksatta Jaya Prakash Narayan who though won from Kukutpally in Hyderabad, Telangana, never ever spoke about resolving the issue of Telangana, and never supported Telangana.  His roots are in Andhra, though he calls himself intellectual, he is blinded by his love for his Andhra brothers. 

The other important regional party is Telangana Rashtra Samithi, TRS, born for Telangana, to achieve Telangana.  This is lead by K.Chandrashekar Rao.  The entire family got involved in agitations for Telangana statehood.  For TRS Telangana people are high command and TJAC can influence it in taking major decisions.  Their primary interest is working for the benefit of Telangana and its people.  The TRS government when formed will work to get the rightful share in employment and strive to get rid of unconstitutional riders imposed on Telangana under the influence of Andhra leaders. 

Progressive development of Telangana can be achieved only by the people of Telangana who believe that their power is in hands of Telanganites directly.  People in parties under the leadership of Andhra leaders cannot take decisions individually.  Their Andhra leaders' biased decisions will be directly or subtly be imposed on Telangana. 

For Telanganites this is a crucial election.  Their vote will make or mar future of Telangana.  New born Telangana must be in the hands of its natives and not with those who hate to utter the word Telangana, whose roots are in Andhra or other regions.
