Telangana - The Dream Realised

Just now the centre has announced the appointed day.  Can’t wait till June 2^nd.  All Telanganites will be eagerly waiting to celebrate the auspicious day 2^nd June 2014.  The day dreamed and achieved after a protracted struggle for 60 long years.  Hundreds died.  Thousands future lost in oblivion.  The intellectual direction from Telangana’s educated, the consistent political pressure from TRS and strong cooperation from all TJACs had finally made the Parliament to pass Telangana Bill.  The despotic acts of Seemandhras in the parliament could not stop or delay the passage of bill any longer.  The Seemandhra tyranny and disrespect for the nation’s ruling august house is witnessed by the whole world.  Whatever happens, one day justice has to be done. 

It is said that justice delayed is justice denied.  Telangana suffered much under the Seemandhra rule.  But their money power could buy Centre ’s unflinching support even after demerger of the state.  Centre/all the political parties are feeling that they have done 'great benefit' by demerger of Telangana from Andhra Pradesh.  To please Andhras the UPA/Congress government is granting many sops and granted all wishes including Hyderabad as joint capital for 10years, extra ordinary constitutional  power to governor in the Telangana state capital, and a hurried passage of ordinance transferring many villages from Khammam district to Andhras.  

Telangana people are watching all this.  They have to move ahead with what they have and achieve what they want.  For this purpose again Telangana needs political power.  People are glad that KCR categorically refused to merge TRS in Congress.  This had been another great decision of KCR for the benefit of Telangana region and to maintain its identity and future development of Telangana state.  Now in almost all states there are regional parties.  These parties can present their local needs more authentically than the three national parties whose high command is Delhi based.  The people belonging to those national parties have always to follow the diktats of Delhi command even in dealing with local issues.  All regional parties do know that nation first and then comes the state.  Developing locally and developing nationally will become mission of all. 

As Indians we should think of developing our villages and cities as clean and green ones with emphasis on providing basic amenities – food, clothing, shelter, health, education and employment for all.  Protection of human rights and dignity for all should be the aim of governance.  To have our identity we should learn the best in Singapore or Tokyo or Washington DC or Hong Kong but have our own model cities. 

I hope, as KCR promises, under TRS Telangana State will develop to become the best state in India and Hyderabad will become fourth best city in the world and not just in India. 

“The woods are dark and deep

And I have miles to go before I sleep”.

Jai Telangana!  Jayaho Telangana!!

Looking Forward - 2014

The beginning of the year I was busy.  Next for four days there is no net connectivity.  In fact, I wanted to be regular in posting my blogs.  Unfortunately circumstances were not conducive.  But this is just beginning.  Sankranthi is ahead.  I always find reasons for not doing something I should.  If I do it just happens and there is no other go.  Happy 2014 to all who are forced to visit my blogs, or who just happen to stray in.

The dramas enacted by Seemaandhra representatives are unending.  I really do not understand whether they are really able to impress the people of Seemandhra and gain political mileage in the coming elections.  The politicians in India always underestimate their electorate.  But people always were teaching them lessons which they never learn.  The common people rarely have a good choice.  Even then they always threw out the government which acted against the public interests and electing another that promises something better.  The politicians just get over it saying anti-incumbency factor but fail to evaluate their performance in progressive socialistic perspective.

In the present day the politicians are generally corrupt, in fact, they are entering into politics to enrich themselves and safeguard their ill-gotten wealth and some to carry out their mafia activities under the garb of political power.  A few years ago scams involving politicians or their kin were in tens of crores, but now they are in lakhs of crores. Most surprising to me is even some senior politicians getting associated with persons who are indicted in serious financial crimes, the oldest national party discreetly supporting scamsters for future political gains.

The AAP’s election in Delhi has come as a beacon of hope.  The formation of government by AAP is hopefully a step towards a new era in politics and governance. The party in its victory josh is aiming high. It will be good to have few politicians with an intent to work for social cause be present in the Parliament.  It is just one step forward but we must wait and see how the team ArKe carries its agenda forward.

KCR has shown his farm house.  Is it to clear the doubts of the people or exhibit his modern farm?  I appreciate his interest and praise him for the model farm.  But what is the percentage of farmers with more than 2 acres of land and financial support system as KCR.  If farmers can get at least a lakh for an acre more people would have opted for farming than private jobs.  Ours is basically agricultural nation.  If agriculture is given importance and farmers are given due help and encouragement our nation will definitely become a developed wealthy nation.

                   ******************************************

Prime Minister Shri Manmohan Singh’s farewell speech was dull.  I dissent his endorsement of Rahul Gandhi as natural leader and expressing that it will be disastrous if Shri Narendra Modi becomes Prime Minister of India.  So far RaGa had been acting behind the screens without taking any responsibility.  His outburst on the criminal politicians in Parliament bill was immature.  RaGa may be the heir of Indira Congress party but a reluctant politician who fails to present as a decisive leader.  NaMo is a grass roots man with experience and enthusiasm.  But Godhra has become indelible blemish on his governance.  The party above which he had grown is fascist and in the name of Hindutva what cultural imposition will be made on the generation is a daymare.

This year brings many changes in Indian politics. This year we are going to have assembly and parliament elections.  Which ever party forms government it should try to fulfill the basic needs of the people, food, clothing, shelter, education, health and employment that helps to live people with dignity.   It is NaMo or RaGa or ArKe people want change, change for assertion of their right to live with dignity.
