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.
