Again politics on Tilangana

The surreal surrounding Telangana was enforced with approval of the separation of 10 districts of Andhra Pradesh to form Telangana by the UPA government on 3rd August. However the central government, Jawahar lal Nehru, in 1956 merged Telangana with Andhra Pradesh at the time of its formation, which was opposed by mass peoples at that time. With the passage of time the issue became serious. Conflicts like in 1969 and 1972 are unforgettable. In 2004 Congress sweeps the majority in Telangana areas and merged with UPA with the objective to form a separate Telangana state. But the UPA government eschewed to approve a separate Telangana which results in the separation of Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) from UPA. After all foment raised after the death of Y.S. Raj Shakhar forced the UPA government to approve the Telangana state.

 It is difficult to forecast the merits of this decision to UPA in the upcoming elections. But the recent foment raised had increased the Congress and UPAs tension. Many Congress leaders are unhappy with the decision and Chief Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy and many other MPs were openly opposing the central government’s decision. The former Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh Chandra Babu Naido and Jagan Reddy the son of Y.S.R. Reddy had started a hunger strike against the formation of new Tilangana State. However Congress leader Digvijay Singh claimed that they had a written proof of both the above leaders in favour of the decision. But now it seems it’s a deliberate attempt by Y.S.R. Reddy to pressurise congress and politicize the whole issue in a big way.  But Kiran Kumar Reddy has increased the problem of Congress.

It seems that Congress president Sonia Gandhi was not aware of the new threats or I think the Central Government had looked for a panacea to cope up with the new voices, permeate for other separate states like Gorkha Land, Boto Land, Harid Pradesh, Bundal Khand, Purvanchal and others. Another headache issue for UPA is Seemandra, which has conflict with Tilangana over Hyderabad. As per the recent decision Hyderabad will be the common capital of both the upcoming states. But Seemandhra had no border link with Hyderabad so it shunned the common capital. Moreover the Government employees of Tilangana are also claiming for a separate schedule for Seemandra’s employees in Hyderabad.

By looking all these problems it seems inane that why the central government had again brought up such a complicated issue of Telangana at the times when Indian economy is facing a downward spiral; China and Pakistan’s problems are at pick. It probably seems that the move of Congress of evoking the issue of Telangana is deliberately done to shift the concentration of people from the former issues.

If we consider Congress as an egalitarian government and their decision of making Telangana state, rightful; on which the Telangana groups were in a mood to enjoy but then what about the other side where the hunger strikes had made a great loss In Seemandra? What about the voices rose for separate land like Gorkha Land and others?
