Will AP sing Bhaiya “ALL IS WELL” after all party meet on Telangana on 5th Jan 2010.
We have to take the note and clarity with which the Home Minister has spoken on the of the New year Celebrations on the Topic of Telangana. There is no pinch of doubt on the intention of the govts. determination to carve a state of Telananga, the govt. like to hold all its statement that where aired in favor of formation of new State.
Asserting that the government had done “no flip-flop” over separate statehood to
He said the Major political parties in Andhra Pradesh, he said, contested the 2009 Assembly elections on manifestos that “in one manner or other declared support for the formation of a separate state of Telangana”
He also said, “UPA government in its common minimum programme had said that a separate state of Tealangana would be carved from State of Andhra Pradesh” at an appropriate time after due consultations and consensus.
“On December 9, it was announced that an appropriate resolution would be moved in the state assembly. I would like to highlight key words in the statement, they are ‘process’, ‘appropriate resolution’ and ‘moved’. In the background of the minutes of the all party meeting, I would like to ask what was wrong with that statement,” he queried. And on December 23, after MPs and legislators from the state appeared divided over the issue, the government stressed the need to hold consultations with all political parties on the issue following a fortnight of protests in Andhra Pradesh for and against the separate state.
“We simply responded to the wishes of the people of Andhra Pradesh. I hope you don’t call the January 5 meeting a flip-flop,” Chidambaram added.
“The January 5 meeting is the first step in consultations. We have called the recognized parties in the state to devise a mechanism and lay a roadmap on the issue,” he said.
Chidambaram also pointed out that other student groups and interested parties would also be consulted at a later stage.
One thing is coming out clear from all this clarification is to send a message again that Telangana is a possibility which will have to come thru consensus. Even now it is not clear when it will happen, but it is, clear that sooner or later it will happen.
Our wish would be consensus and with no feelings hurt after all AP and its people shared the same space for over 50 years now. let us hope for the good of the people of the region and the business and the lost optimism returns and let it be said. All is well.
The sowards are pulled in AP , both by pro and aganinst Telangana groups, in all the three regions of AP, Teleangana, Rayalseema and the very effulient region Andhra on the coasts of AP, with the coasts touching it, both Rayalseema and Telangana are land locked.
The activities in Delhi are hot to get charged for a very charged and cruicial meeting, both the camps in pro and anti claim it will be sucess to them.
22nd Dec. a Big Day , PM to give statement on Telangana, All parties keep fingures crossed.
Today is a very crucial test of ability and skills of political wisdom for Prime Minster Dr Manmohan Singh.
As after a month long agitation on pro and anti Telangana by Various Political Parties, members of parliament and assemble protesting and many MLA’s resigning in protest to the statement made by the Home Minister P Chidambaram on 9th of Dec night, on the eve of a protest rally by the Telangana protestors on 10 in Hyderabad the state capital of Andhra Pradesh.
The statement diffused the agitation for separate Telengana and prompted the Leader of Separate Telangana Movement K C Rao of TRS breaking his 11 days old hunger strike in NIMS hospital in Hyderabad, statement on Home Minister change the mood from agitation to celebration and distribution of sweets and night lit by crackers and profuse celebration in the districts of Telangana, The people of Telangana appreciated the gesture of the Sonia Gandhi and the Congress Party and looked forward to it formation at the earliest.
But the celebration did not last long as the day progressed on 10th of Dec several MLS’s across party line resigned in protest to the statement given by Chidambaram the Home Minister demanding unified Andhra to remain.
The chorus on this demand was supported by the Congress party MP’s and MLA’s too, they where to most active in protest, going totally against the dictates of the party high command the Congress leaders on the State from Rayalseema, and Costal Andhra. The agitative mood and aggressive expression over night shifted from Telangana shifted to otherwise peaceful and disciplined regions of Costal Andhra and Rayalseema. The agitators burned and damaged public property and disturbed normal life in cities like many cities and districts of Andhra and Rayalseema regions of A P.
The reaction from political parties which heralded the cause of formation of Telangana in 2009 Elections TDP and PRP not able to control the situation by resignations of many of the Andhra and Raylseema MLS’s back tracked on the issue of Telangana under the changed circumstances, diluting there political stand on separate state of Telangana, This is Politics we can expect the unexpected by our political leaders even the likes of Chnadrababu and Chiranjeevi could spare themselves.
With several Hunger strikes by business interests giants like Rajgopal MP from Congress, and brother of YSR joining the voice to keep the state united, with many others in various districts protesting the complication and uncertainty increased in the state. The Central leadership of congress kept its vigil and the state CM Roshiah kept and tried to keep the conditions under control with mix of success and failure. Add to the fire to the fury the many hero of Andhra agitation to keep AP united in his 8th day of hunger strike broke the police bandobast and sneaked out of the govt hospital in Vijaywada on 10th 10 15 pm only to be surfaced in dramatic manner in NIMS hospital, on 21st Dec this embarrassed the state govt and the police dept.
As this was not enough Rajgopal ( Lagapati) MP’s who is protesting against formation of Telangana added like a catalyst to the separate Telangana agitator who where silent and were in mood of celebration and waiting for the govt to being the process of the resolution and the formation of the state of Telangana, became violent and protested at the NIMS against the stand taken by Lagapati Rajgopal MP the leader of united Andhra Agitation.
The situation has become worst and the tempers on both sides have grown. Andhra Pradesh a otherwise a peaceful and state which produce thousands of engineers, and IT professional keep its young section of the population busy with intense involvement in studies is harming its main asset base knowledge and educational discipline.
What ever is to be done the key would be it has to done quickly and make things clear and allow the minds to rest and settle. All representatives of the parties involved to the conflict, Telangana, Costal Andhra, Rayalseema and the Central Govt and the State Govt should enter in to a close door dialogue for several session and reach to common terms and amicably solve this issue to the benefit of all parties concern.
The tempers are high and damage is huge this will percolate further and could harm in a way it could be a point of no return.
Dr. Singh Please do your best and let the state and its people agree to your advice and decision as PM of the Nation and a person who cares for the aspirations of lakhs of people of AP and its regions.
