Telangana statehood gets support from UP CM Mayawati.

UP Chief Minister Mayawati has mentioned she will support Telangana state issue if it is been discussed in the Parliament.

Bahujan Samaj Party will provide it support in the parliament as Scheduled caste presence is more when compared to other classes in the region.  Scheduled Caste, Tribes and other backward classes are numerically high in number in the Telangana region.

She also mentioned that it has always been an issue with the new state formation in the country with Congress and BJP Government in power.  If the BSP, comes to power in the centre then a new state formation will not be any issue and settled at one go.

Speaking about the Black money, she mentioned that if it is brought back, the poverty in India will be eradicated.

T-Ministers defer from their resignation submission on T-issue

With the resignation deadline being ended on 26th June, now there is riff between the Telangana ministers who are present in the Cabinet post. Now most of the ministers has slated that they will wait till the Central Government decides or give a decision on the Telagnana state hood issue. 

Congress has asked all its Telangana minister to keep quite on the resignation issued and also not to speak about the Telangana statehood issue.  One of the reason could be with the expansion of cabinet to done, some of the MP are expecting or can bargain for cabinet with state hood issue.

Now with change of minds with the Central ministers, Telangana minister just turned around stating that they have not yet decided the date for beginning the agitation which they mentioned before on July 5.

However, now the decision on the future agitation which includes hunger strike and resignation will be taken at their next meeting here on July 1.  As V Hanumantha Rao and Malkajgiri MP Sarve Satyanarayana are looking for cabinet post during the cabinet expansion which is going to happen.

Karimnagar MP Ponnam Prabhakar, MPs Balaram Naik and S Rajaiah  are still willing for  separate statehood.

Congress plans Gorkhaland action to Telangana region

Congress has decided not give a separate statehood for the Telangana.  They are not willing to divide the state though there is intense pressure from the MP and MLA of their party and willing to step down if no action is taken.

Sonia Gandhi has decided to roll out the plan as they have done for the Gorkhaland by providing autonomy and benefits such as formation of a council with wide-ranging powers and a big financial package.  This is the last suggestion provided in the Sri Krishna Committee report in 2010. The SriKrishna committee suggested certain safeguard methods for Telangana including the TRC agreements in 1956.

Congress party has taken complete a U turn and not willing to take any action on the Telangana statehood issue and instead have appointed Ghulam Nabi Azad to speak with the Telangana MP who are going to meet him in next 2 weeks at New Delhi. 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.

With this news out, TJAC, TRS and JAC have all got into action and hit back to the central stating the when the States Reorganization Commission has accepted the report for the separate state and Congress too declared that they will work on the separate state formation, why they are changing their minds.  They have planned to increase the pressure on the Central with their intensifying agitation 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.
