All-party meet to discuss Hyderabad as ‘free zone’
The Supreme Court’s refusal to review its order declaring Hyderabad a “free zone” for recruitments in government jobs triggered a fresh row, with Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister K. Rosaiah Wednesday calling an all-party meeting to decide future course of action.
Rosaiah told the state assembly that he had no objection to passing a resolution urging the central government to bring a constitutional amendment to set aside the Supreme Court order.
Amid strong protests by Telangana leaders of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Communist Party of India (CPI) and Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M), the chief minister called the meeting to discuss the issue.
“Hyderabad is part of sixth zone and not a free zone,” Rosaiah told the agitating members. He, however, said the issue was sensitive and could not be discussed in an open house.
Hyderabad had remained part of zone VI, along with Ranga Reddy, Mahabubnagar, Nalgonda, Nizamabad and Medak districts of Telangana.
Telangana, which comprises 10 districts including Hyderabad, was merged with then Andhra State in 1956 to form Andhra Pradesh. But the people of Telangana were given certain safeguards in appointments under the Gentlemen’s Agreement of 1956 and a subsequent Presidential Order and six point formula.
Following the October order of the Supreme Court, the Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) revived the movement for separate statehood for the region.
The latest judgment came at a time when a five-member committee headed by Justice Srikrishna is looking into the issue of statehood for Telangana.
TRS leader Harish Rao said the court order would cover appointments to 18 departments, including the police. “This will badly affect the interests of Telangana people,” he said.

@Ravi, I think we need a leader like Bal Thackeray and a cadre like shiv sainiks starting from the politcians to the movie stars to industrialists will come saying pahimam pahimam if we can manage this and even the courts will think manytimes to entrtain cases against Thackerays. It is not too far if such things continue then that is also inevitable.

@Prakash, we live in open society I am neither offended nor disappointed, u r free to give ur opinion, let me clarify my point, if the Thakceray's kept quite then the whole Maharashtra would have been filled (in govt. and semi govt. jobs) with Biharis and UPites and North Indians. U know what the actual original Marathi speakers ratio in Mumbai, but can u give one single example be it BMC or Police or BEST or any other local admin. employing non marathis? The state govt. laws are very clear in this regard and the implementing authorities r doing there job honestly (fearing from SS). Is there any business house in Mumbai dare to say our co. our choice we only recruit from A or B or C ppl?
The story in Hyderabad is different, the MIM and the Hydderabadi Muslim came to a conclusion that Muslims won't get govt. jobs so no need even to try. That is another big reason for the free hand got by SAs and their supporters.

Thackerays and SS FIGHT with EVERY Single authority and person and society that including Hindus, Hindu Gurus, Christians, Muslims irrespective of the individual's position or importance, they say what they FEEL is RIGHT. Be it Khernar be it Lata be it Sachin be it any SRK or Pakistan or Bangladesh or any business establishment or Ambani or Dilip Kumar. Their target is nothing except what they FEEL or THINK is WRONG.

I felt so bad about apex court's decision.
one of my friends is hyderabadi, she, missed state public service exam. just by one mark recently, she appeared interview along with me first time, I cleared, but she missed by 4 marks and again second time by 1 mark. The pain and agony she is facing only i can understand. I always think that sons of soil posts are filled by non locals, it effecting our students badly.
The State govt should pass a resolution urging the central government to bring a constitutional amendment to set aside the Supreme Court order.

i doubt if a constituitional amendment can be done for something so basically against the constituition.
there will be no limit to such tinkering. tomorrow nizambad people will say all nizambad govt jobs should be filled by nizambad domiciles only. karimnagar and rangareddy and warangal may also follow suit. where is the limit. where will this end. statelevel, district level, mandal level,village level or ward level,

Hyderabad News. Lanco Hills price crashes down to earth from the skies. Flats once sold as high as Rs.4500/sft is available NOW at Rs.3000/sft from Lanco.
Only solution is to make sure all Andhra businesses are bankrupt. When SeemAndhra are stealing from us then only option we have is make sure they also don't get ours.

Lanco Hills which is building Hyderabad's most sought after high-rise destination (once upon a time!), has found the going tough with the impact of global recession followed by Telangana agitation, crippling sales.
The Company was unable to make any significant sales during last one year. Instead of fresh sales, the existing buyers who booked flats at figures as high as Rs.4500/sft during launch phase in 2007, have been clamoring for cancellation and refunds.
The flats which were kept unsold in 2007, with the hope of selling at higher rates when construction is complete, has become a liability to the company like many other builders who followed the same strategy
With Aparna offering flats at Rs.2800/sft at Nallagadla, Lanco's crashed price offer of Rs.3000/sft at the grand location, looks alluring. Its not sure how much the extras would amount to. But it should be in the range of Rs.700 to Rs.1000/sft
The Lanco rate is now much cheaper than L&Ts and almost equivalent to Ramky Towers. The crashed rate of Lanco may shake up the integrated apartment market rates, in Hyderabad.
People who were hesitating to go to Aparna Nallagadla or put money on Ramky Towers, may in fact quickly jump to Lanco. Obviously these projects, apart from other high-end properties like Nagarjuna Residency, Ambience Botanika, Lodha Towers etc will be under tremendous price pressure now.

Just for one reason that was their ARROGANCY and considering that they can do or get or buy anything that made them destroyed. U r talking about buying the TATHASTU, before u write such things (even jokingly) think these are sacred words don't make mockery of such things and words with ur money and writing power on computer. Ur parents should be ashamed of your upbringing if the know what their son is writing in the blogs.

@prakash
the Keshavananda Bharati case judgement is very clear.
quote
Held that the word 'amendment' was used in the sense of permitting a change, in contradistinction to destruction, which the repeal or abrogation brings about. Therefore, the width of the power of amendment could not be enlarged by amending the amending power itself. The learned Judge held that the essential elements of the basic structure of the Constitution are reflected in its preamble and that some of the important features of the Constitution are justice, freedom of expression and equality of status and opportunity.
unquote.
emphasis on equality of status and opportunity .
in my opinion the constituitional amendment may not be so easy as it will set a precedent by other states and regions and will opens a pandora's box.

Mr Deefeye,
"land in telangana is not worth committing suicide for. so pls do not fantasise. "
If T land is not worth, Then why the people from your region migrated to karimnagar, Nizamabad, Medak and even adilabad.
Either they are stupdis or you.
You are like one of those people, who always will try to make the situation worse. I'll tell u a simple story..Let's say there are 3 brother's in a family, you are(Mr.Deefeye)elder brother and the other two are Telangana and SA.
When T brother wants get out of the family and wants to take care of his own business, As an elder brother you should tell good, sensible, legitamate reason's to live together and you should convince in a best possible way to stay in the family. you know what you are do instead, you tell the T-brother, you are useless fellow, you dont have anything, You are uneducated, you can't talk proper telugu..you can't do anything if you leave the family.. you are fit for nothing..things like that….Is that the way to convince people..if you act as a mediator between india and pakistan, I swear to god man, the moment you come out of that negotition room, there will be nothing to fight for..both the contries will be burnt to ashes with nuclear bombs. You are that effective, ofcourse in useless way.. I've been watching u guys man..u and khan and someother guys from SA, you guys have nothing, other than criticizing our people, who are fighting for a genuine cause. I've never seen you guys saying or speaking atleast once for telangana even when someone commit's suicide. Get a life man..
You know what you are doing with your postings here, you are bringing an impression amongst the readers that all SA people are cheap and disgusting. I've lot's of freinds from andhra, infact very good friends(brought up in hyd) and don't think that I'm a SA hater. I believe that, friendships shoulb be beyond religion, region, caste and gender. I'm over 30 and I'm matured enough to understand that. But I'm worried about the college kids, students and guys who are in their 20's, who has less patience and more aggression. Just Imagine those kids, students reading your posts, who have really seen or seeing, what their parents,grand parents have gone through or going through in terms of agriculture, jobs, education etc and how their lives would have been, if they have the same kind of lives as the kids from your side(SA). Obviously these kids/students aggression will overtake their commonsense which is all people are not same. That will make them bigtime haters of Seemandhra people which is not good for the society or for that matter any of us.
So my sincere advice to you is, please don't add salt to the wound and make the situation even worse. We have had enough. We know what is telangana land is worth of and we don't need a guy like you to preach what we are capable of.
We know how to get our seperate state and we know what it takes. I can tell you one thing, Telangana formation is a done deal, the only question is when and people of telangna will wait and fight and don't you dare to question our resolve and commitment.
God bless you brother…
Jai Telangana..
