Discussion on Telangana State at the Centre

Ghulam Nabi Azad has submitted his report on the plan for the Telangana state formation after the meeting with all the state minister.

A Core Committee meeting is going to be held at 5:00 pm today where decision will be taken on the Telangana state issue and also what action needs to be taken further.

There was not much of response for the bandh that was called by T-JAC for Hyderabad yesterday with parties giving our different opinions.  The city has normal life with most of the shops and business houses functioning.

MP Vivek is in discussion with KCR and is willing to provide complete support to him.  KCR is planning to meet BJP Leader Sushma Swaraj on the Telangana issue.

The first core committee meeting held did not have any outcome and decision taken for the Telangana issue at Pranab residence.  Now with the next meeting to be held at 5:00 pm, Ghulam Nabi report will discussed and also it may take some time for the team to be taken decision the Telangana issue.

Also once the decision is taken, all parties will need to accept and should follow it.

T-JAC Agenda for the Telangana movement

Telangana Joint Action Committee has released their agenda / plan for the action and proceedings towards the Telangana movement.

T-JAC has decided to make the movement more intense and pressurize the Government to take and decide on the Telangana state.

The agenda for the movement from Sept 27 - Oct 11:

Sept 27 - T-JAC will provide support to the RTC workers in order to participate in the Telangana movement.

Sept 28 - Road Blockage in Hyderabad.

Sept 30 - Hyderabad Bandh

Oct 2, 3, 4 - More support to other organizations.

Oct 9 , 10 , 11 - Rail Roko Andolan across the Telangana region.

TRS Chief KCR decides on indefinite hunger strike.

Finally we see some action from the TRS President K Chandrasekhar Rao who has orbeen missing from limelight fm quite sometime on the Telangana state formation agitation.

This time TRS President has decided to go on indefinite fast for separate Telangana statehood. Family members and TRS legislator K Tarakarama Rao told reporters that the party chief is in talks with the senior leaders on how to proceed with the plan for "fast unto death".

The decision is yet to be taken and will be announced by the party chief.

It was in 2009 when KCR went on hunger strike and on the 11th day of the strike, Central Government came into action and decided to start a formal process for the Telangana statehood.  After which we have seen many turnaround by the UPA Government on the issue and trying to avoid the Telangana state.

The TRS leader plans to go on a fast at a time when the Telangana movement has intensified with 'sakala janula samme', or general strike by all sections.

Most of the Government employees, teachers and workers of state-owned Singareni Collieries Company Limited are on strike for the last eight days and employees of the Road Transport Corporation (RTC) have also joined them.  With lawyers have also decided to boycott their court and other section people are also getting ready to join the movement.

This will give KCR a good boost if he plans on going for indefinite hunger strike.  Again it should be carried on non-violence bases and should not effect the General life of normal person.

Telangana Strikes hit back Andhra Pradesh Government

With the agitation of separate Telangana again getting more active.  The strikes in the Telangana region has hit back AP state very badly. 

The strike which has started from September 13 with participation of pro-Telangana parties like the TRS, and also stating that there will more serious action will be taken if the Government does not decide on the outcome of Telangana state.

With no buses, blocked highways and dharnas by various unions, the Telangana agitation is back in strength and it back in Government to decide what action to be taken. With all the Telangana districts participating in the agitation, the more affected districts are Warangal, Karimnagar and Adilabad and with government implementing the rule of "no work no pay" it has also led the Government employees to join the agitation on the rule.

CM Kiran Reddy has made it clear that Central and State will not take any decision immediately as they are waiting for the report from the committee headed by Ghulam Nabi Azad and will look into the pros and cons.  Then a all party meeting will be done, where the critical decision will taken.

With all this agitation in the state, it is the normal person (as Congress say "AAM AADAMI") who is getting hit badly, the shops, colleges, schools and offices needs to be closed every other day, for no cause as the Central and State Government are not willing to decide on the Telangana State Formation.

It is the political drama that is taking place behind the curtain, and "AAM AADMI" is suffering due to the action taken by them.  The citizens of state, students should understand that instead of violence agitation, why don't they take up the movement in non-violence method and let the "AAM AADMI" lead his normal life.

The best example of work to be done is "ANNA HAZARE Movement Fight against Corruption" Lakhs of people gathered, no violence, no business stoppage, schools and college functioned normally.  Yet he brought down the Government to accept his Lokpal bill.

Telangana Bandh and Jagan Odarpu Yatra

Telangana and Osmania University have requested the Government to delete clause14(f) and declare Hyderabad as free zone for the recruitment can be made from all regions. 

The recruitment test is going to held on Aug 13-14.  JAC has decided to hold a bandh on Aug 8 and then they have decided to postponed it to Aug 13-14.

However, Home minster has stated that deletion of clause decision should be taken by the respective state government and pass a resolution. 

Now the student union has decided to boycott classes from Aug 17 and go on indefinite strike.  The JAC has decided to block highways on Aug 16.

With the state issue catching up, Jagan has decided to start his "Odarpu Yatra" from Aug 15 in order console the familites in Krishna district which will be go on for 16 days and ending on Aug 31 with huge meeting.

During this Yatra Jagan will be covering 1150 km and also unveil 160 statues of Rajasekhar Reddy at various places.

Telangana state talks fails and TJAC decide to go on strike

Hone Minister P Chindabaram has mentioend that UPA Government would not like to take any decision on the state hood of Telangana.  The party is in talks with the state parties on the issues.  However, Ghulam Nabi Azad did mention to the Telangana MPs that he will consulting with the Central and get results in 2 months.

Chindabaram also stated the NDA Government has also opposed for the Telangana state issue in 2002.  With the talks going on with the parties, he stated that out 8 main parties in the state only few are supporting the state hood issue.

With the Congress leader not willing to take back their resignations and supporting the formation of Telangana state. 

The Congress leaders has decide to go on a one-day hunger-strike in Hyderabad on the August 11, protesting the delay in deletion of clause 14 (f) of the Presidential Order dealing with administrative recruitments.

Congress leaders are also planning to hoist the Telangana Flag on Aug 15.

Now the state and Central Government employees in the Telangana region have decided to go on hunger strike from Aug 17.  This is has been due to talks failing with the Government and also moving out of police from certain areas and offices.   The unions later announced the agitation would resume from August 8 in various forms and will turn into a full-fledged, indefinite strike from August 17 as scheduled.

The SriKrishna committee suggested certain safeguard methods for Telangana including the TRC agreements in 1956.

The suggestion has come out for the kitty of Sonia Gandhi, to go with the Darjeeling model for Telangana issue and is not supporting any kind of regionalism or sub-regionalism in the state.

"Bhrashtachar Mitao Satyagraha" Demands of Baba Ramdev

1. Declare accounts of Indians in tax havens as national property - GOI must declare all tax haven accounts of Indian corrupts to be national property through an ordinance and later with enactment of a bill. This is a very easy step to execute and does not conflict with any foreign policy, treaty or agreement.

2. Declare stashing away black money in tax havens as national crime - GOI must declare the act of stashing away of black money in swiss banks as a 'Rajdroh' or national crime because it has led to disasters in our country. 883 people die every HOUR just because of malnutrition and hunger whereas corrupt people out there are carrying out scams worth lakhs of crores which could be used for the development of our nation. Such big scams are only because stashing away of money in swiss banks is very easy for the corrupt.

3. Death penalty and lifetime imprisonment for the corrupt - GOI must pass a law to enforce death penalty or lifetime imprisonment on people who are found to be guilty of corrupt practices. The only reason that corruption is so widespread today is that there is no punishment for the corrupt and they enjoy luxurious freedom inspite of putting the nation at stake.

4. Enactment of a strong Lokpal - The government must now enact a strong Lokpal which can control corruption in the country. Corruption is now a cancer for us and Lokpal is a great weapon against it. India Against Corruption is heading this movement and we give full support to them.

5. Setting up of fast track courts in all states to deal specially with corruption issues - The government needs to setup fast track courts in all the states so that punishing the corrupt becomes easy. Crores of cases are pending in courts at the moment which would take years to clear up. We need faster execution and stronger laws to deal with this cancer.

6. Removal of high denomination currency notes from the economy - Government should immediately recall high denomination notes from the economy to prevent internal black money formation. Today we have 100 lakh crores of black money circulating inside our economy and thats because Rs. 1000, Rs.500 notes make it easier for corrupt people to transport, carry and store large sums of money for purpost of illegal and corrupt dealings. These notes should be removed immediately. There is no use of these notes when 80 crore+ people in our country live on a daily income of Rs.20 and never get the luxury of even seeing a Rs.500 note.

7. Educational curriculum in Bharatiya Languages - Curriculum and examinations of engineering, medical, agriculture should be made available in Bharatiye languages too and as fast as possible so that even a villager can get education properly instead of being deprived on the name of a foreign language(English) which we are using as the primary mode of education even after 64 years of independence. What a shame! We are not against english. But we must learn to respect our own languages first.

8. Ban the Land Acquisition Act - This act was brought by the Britishers to loot us and what a shame that we still have this law and its also being used to loot the poor farmers till date who are the people providing and catering to the hunger needs of our nation. This agricultural loot needs to be stopped NOW!

9. Direct election of the Prime Minister - History has shown that indirect selection of Prime Ministers has only lead to political troubles because most of the time the PM is busy safeguarding his chair putting national interest at stake. Political instability and personal conflicts in parties lead to instability in the governance just because of this reason. So the PM should be directly elected by the people and should be directly accountable to the citizens of this country.

10. Enactment of a strong Public Service Delivery Guarantee Act - If any citizen is denied service by any govt official within a stipulated period of time then the concerned official will have to pay penalty in the form of money to the particular citizen on a daily/weekly basis. This will help to make execution of government offices faster and prevent laziness and bribery.

Who will win Kadapa by-election?

BJP, TRS, TDP and other Telangana leaders are keeping an eye on the Kadapa by election results. Each party is looking for the Late YSR son Jagan Reddy to win this election.

More than Jagan Reddy, it seems these parties are praying for his win.  It is not they are looking for tie or alliance with Jagan new party.

It seems with loss here, will give a setback to the Congress in Centre and also get some information about how strong is Jagan and his party when formed.  In order to curb their further loss in the state for the upcoming assembly election in couple of years.  They may think of working fast on the Telangana state formation.

With KCR providing internal support from the weary begriming to YSR and also received certain amount during his agitation in the state. 

BJP has not been attacking Jagan and has also stopped making any kind of comment on his illegal wealth allocation and corruption.  BJP s also thinking in the long with general election to be in 2014, will also look forward for support from Jagan party in order to get in power and form Government.
