Fearing rout, Cong may skip Telangana bypolls
The Telangana cause may come in handy for the Congress, after all. In a bid to wriggle out of the embarrassment of not winning any of the 12 assembly seats in Telangana for which bypolls are due to be held by August, state leaders are advocating not fielding any candidate.
A group of Telangana Congress leaders led by AICC secretary in-charge of Jharkhand K Keshava Rao is set to impress upon Congress chief Sonia Gandhi to adopt such a line. Senior leaders of the Telangana Congress met once last Sunday to discuss the issue and resolved to gather the support of other leaders. A second meeting is being planned next week.
“Keeping in mind the Telangana sentiment, it would be wise for the Congress not to contest the elections. Another reason is that in case it contests and wins a seat against TRS, the Andhra and Rayalaseema leaders can claim this as a rejection of the Telangana sentiment in the region,” said a T Congress leader. But the real reason is that it is sure that it cannot win a single seat. The polls were necessitated following the resignation of 10 TRS MLAs and one each of the TDP and BJP at the height of the Telangana agitation in February this year.
Congress insiders admit that all the 12 MLAs who resigned have a very good chance of retaining their seats with a bigger margin. “Not only that, none of the T Congress leaders submitted their resignations. Thus if the party fields candidates, this will become the single biggest campaign point of TRS and will harm the Congress even more,” said a leader.
The bypolls have virtually brought PCC president D Srinivas at the political crossroads. With his bid to enter the Council having been rejected due to denial of a ticket, and his chances of getting a Rajya Sabha nomination virtually ruled out, DS is increasingly being cornered into contesting from the Nizamabad Urban assembly seat from where he had lost to BJP’s Y Lakshminarayana in the last elections.
“Therefore, DS will be the happiest person in case the Congress decides to skip the bypolls. In fact, he has been persuading several Telangana Congress leaders to campaign for the party not contesting the polls,” said a T Congress leader.
But precisely for this reason, some anti-PCC chief leaders are bent on putting the pressure on the party contesting the elections. “While most are likely to press for the party skipping the bypolls, there are many others who are set to urge the high command to field candidates. But knowing that the Congress cannot win a single seat, Soniaji is likely to consider the plea of the T leaders,” said a leader.
The advocates of bypassingthe-polls campaign have got a shot in the arm due to the stance of the Telugu Desam. “We have definite information that TDP will also not field any candidate (except one seat) in case the Congress does not,” said a Congress leader.
They have already met several MLAs and those aspiring to contest the polls to rally them against the party fielding candidates in the bypolls.
“We have already conveyed our sentiment to the party leadership in Delhi. Now we are planning to meet Sonia and other leaders soon, preferably in May,” another leader said.

The article underestimates the shamlessness of congress and TDP. I am confident Congress and TDP will contest polls each pointing fingers at the other. Both parties are drawing strategies on the weaknesses of TRS(politically) from last election results and perhaps go full throttle on 4-5 seats. Eventually, TRS will win majority seats. And it is our responsibility to make sure TRS wins.

congress cannot and darenot contest the by polls,and tdp will follow suit,bcz they have no guts/eithics/face to show to the electorate.they may encourage some independents who are destined to loose not deposits alone but their pants and shirts !
We all must ensure TRS wins all the 10 seats plus one that was vacated by tdp , without fail.

is congress contesting with left hand here and right hand there ??????
If they dont have two symbols why they have two opinions???
same to TDP,Is voting for front wheel pro-T and rare wheel is Anti-T???
I saw many CBN waiving two fingers,today we came to know that it means two views on one issue????
Cong&TDP symbols are very known to common people.. we need to attack them with symbol issue also..
If congress leaders contest with Telanagana map we need to add lagadapati photo to that.. we should tell the people that if you vote for congres u r voing fot lagadapati for congress and somireddy for TDP..

I believe majority of polticians are like prostitutes, whoever pays more (whichever the way it might be) they go with them. I do believe surely they entertain and maintain FIFO (first in first out rather say first serve) that shows their honesty towards their profession. If the said parties goes in to by polls then what impression they leave with the people? this is not a million dollar question but KNOWN to every single person of AP and Telangana.

here are a few questions of mine . i wish to have some serious answers and not the usual abuse and insults.
1- if kcr is confident of grass root level support for telangana , then why is he shying away from resigning and getting elected again. after all he promised to resign whether tjac approves or not.
2- if you are so confident of grassroot level support for telangana , why do you physically oppose tours of leaders like jagam , chiru etc , in telangana region.are you afraid T sentiment will get eroded or washed away . dont you have confidence in the ppl of telangana ? its okay to boycott movies which ridcule T ppl or language by why stop SA leaders from going round T districts ?
3- if you are confident grass root support exists for Telangana , why are you opposing candidates from other parties contesting the bye polls.other parties are being cajoled, threatened not to contest.
4- dont you accept it is wrong to bad moouth , insult , abuse leaders and ppl of other regions . even IF T is formed , ppl of all regions have to cooperate for a peaceful co existence.
5- the approval and vote of 25 mps from SA is crucial for any vote on T and for any proposals later on. dont you think you are burning your bridges by all this bad mouthing and abuse.
6- you are blaming SA ppl for all the ills of telangana . telangana has contributed one PM , 2 CM's and several union ministers and state ministers and MP's , during these last 6 decades. Why dont you hold these T leaders accountable for the problems in telangana.
7- what has been kcr's contribution to T as no 2 in TDP, union misnister and mp in upa govt , till nov 09. we all know what he has done post nov 09.
8- hasnt trs diluted its case for telangana by constantly switching allies , nda, upa, maha kutami , nda again and by poor candidate selection in all elections contested by trs so far. werent candidates selected for reasons other than merit.
9- telangana due to its geographical topography and location in the deccan plateau is about 1000-2000 ft above sea level . that is why dams and irrigation projects are difficult to build and expensive due to lift irrigation in most cases. if T is formed andhra region will have a larger share of river waters due to it being a lower riparian state. further water has to be assured and prioritised for the lower riparian state. dont you think this will be disadvantageous in the long run for T.

May 01, 2010 @ 20:29:23
@ deefeye, after long time you have some real queries…let's see whether I can satisfy you!
Q.1 – if kcr is confident of grass root level support for telangana , then why is he shying away from resigning and getting elected again. after all he promised to resign whether tjac approves or not.
A.1 – KCR has resigned in the past as an MP and won in a trumpeting way, but why should we ask his resignation, when Telangana Congress and TDP MLA's cheated the people of Telangana in the resignation issue when TJAC asked for them to resign (including the MP's). If you are still not convinced, TRS itself told that they will think about the resignation of their MP's after the MLA's by-elections!.
Q.2 – if you are so confident of grassroot level support for telangana , why do you physically oppose tours of leaders like jagam , chiru etc , in telangana region.are you afraid T sentiment will get eroded or washed away . dont you have confidence in the ppl of telangana ? its okay to boycott movies which ridcule T ppl or language by why stop SA leaders from going round T districts ?
A.2 – The fact is this opposition not limited to SA leaders but also to T-leaders who didn't resigned when TJAC asked them to do so. Well, you know for sure what this Chiranjeevi and YSJ did after December 9th statement from Central Government, one changed his political and promised stand and other one is raising play cards showing United Andhra Pradesh in Lok Sabha. If they wouldn't have done that they are welcome in Telangana or any where in India. Any SA leader has to express his opinion on Telangana before venturing out in Telangana because they were the culprits who stopped the formation of Telangana and forced the Centre to appoint a committee.
Q.3 – if you are confident grass root support exists for Telangana , why are you opposing candidates from other parties contesting the bye polls.other parties are being cajoled, threatened not to contest.
A.3 – Nobody even the TRS did not stated that “other candidates / parties should not contest the by-elections” except the TJAC, because TJAC asked everyone to resign and if others cheat them then why should they contest. Simply to gain more seats and say that Telangana movement is gone ,and of course its people's opinion that nobody should contest these by-elections other than resigned individuals, even if they do they might not get a deposit. Finally, don't you think it is unfair?
Q.4 – dont you accept it is wrong to bad moouth , insult , abuse leaders and ppl of other regions . even IF T is formed , ppl of all regions have to cooperate for a peaceful co existence.
A.4 – Good point, former Hyderabad state's culture is often referred to as a "Ganga-Jamuna tehzeeb" that is peaceful co-existence of all. I think the Telanganites and Hyderabadi's still have that spirit and there will be peaceful co-existance in Telangana state, but one thing you should remember that the “Telangana Rebellion” from 1946 – 1951 erupted from the same people when they were abused by the Nizam administrators. Further the “Hyderabad Liberation Struggle”, referred when the people of Telangana sought integration of state with rest of India with a non-violent and peaceful struggle before 1948 but this turned violent when Nizam tried to quell this using Razakars.
Q. 5 – the approval and vote of 25 mps from SA is crucial for any vote on T and for any proposals later on. dont you think you are burning your bridges by all this bad mouthing and abuse.
A. 5 – Yes, SA mps are crucial for a T- Resolution in parliament, but I think there will be many to support the aspirations of Telangana after the Srikrishna Committee judgment. I don't think all the mp's in the parliament can be bought by money power of SA's!. If you insist on Assembly resolution, this is just for name sake, for administative purpose, constitutionally it can be omitted as it happened during the formation of Gujarat State!. Telanganites are opposed to the MP's, leaders and influential people who are against their aspirations and formation of Telangana state, which is known to them also!.
Q. 6 – you are blaming SA ppl for all the ills of telangana . telangana has contributed one PM , 2 CM’s and several union ministers and state ministers and MP’s , during these last 6 decades. Why dont you hold these T leaders accountable for the problems in telangana.
A. 6 – Yes, they are also liable for this situation of Telangana now. But eveyone in Telangana know that SA leaders and people bought down the first Telangana CM PV in 1973 and President's rule please read further on this in this link (http://www.hindu.com/2004/12/24/stories/2004122407531200.htm), and they didn't entertain any Telangana leader who speak or spoke against them (SA) and all Telangana ministers or leaders should listen to them…just take an example of the present home minister.
Q. 7 – what has been kcr’s contribution to T as no 2 in TDP, union minister and mp in upa govt , till nov 09. we all know what he has done post nov 09.
A. 7 – His contribution to Telangana is indisputable now, He is a hero who enlightened the people of their roots (culture and language) and discrimination by SA interests since the formation of Andhra Pradesh. He is relentlessly working on the formation of Telangana, can you tell me what is the contribution of Andhra MP's in the first and second UPA governments, you just quoted 25 Andhra MP's in present government what they are contributing for the state….just ask yourselves!
Q. 8 – hasnt trs diluted its case for telangana by constantly switching allies , nda, upa, maha kutami , nda again and by poor candidate selection in all elections contested by trs so far. werent candidates selected for reasons other than merit.
A. 8 – TRS allied with any party who supported Telangana formation and snapped its ties who declined its support and it is their principle and they stood by it!. It is their party choice to select the candidates either merit or sentiment etc, but before asking such question, which party is honest in selecting candidates on merit, take an example of PRP etc for reasoning.
Q. 9 – telangana due to its geographical topography and location in the deccan plateau is about 1000-2000 ft above sea level . that is why dams and irrigation projects are difficult to build and expensive due to lift irrigation in most cases. if T is formed andhra region will have a larger share of river waters due to it being a lower riparian state. further water has to be assured and prioritised for the lower riparian state. dont you think this will be disadvantageous in the long run for T.
A.9 – I agree with the topography but I disagree that dams and irrigation projects are difficult to build simply because there was no political will to build dam(s) on Godavari river which enters in Nizamabad district (and after Sri Ram Sagar Project) and passes through Telangana districts and enters Andhra region because it will affect the flows in the lower riparian areas. The Jalayagnam is doing something don't know how much it will benefit Telangana in future, you know the water tribunals who will judge according to the needs of the respective states and for Telangana and Andhra state there will be one to decide on it.

May 01, 2010 @ 20:34:01
You know all answers to your queries but again you put queris before everyone.
1.KCR is the only one leader who broke records by resigning everytime for only one cause.Can you name any other political leader in this world.
What is the need of shying away from resigning.Already 10 MLAs resigned,You people always wait for a chance to demoralise us and wait as Guntanakka
2.Yes we have to oppose tours of leaders because we were cheated by their false promises in all elections.See I was the one who voted for PRP at
NLG constituency in last elections.It shows that I was cheated by Chiru by his false statements.Why should I allow all of your leaders in my region.
This is my right to oppose all cheaters to leg on my soil.
3.We dont want you to create fight between our T-leders in the name of elections.Heads are from andhra and creates rift between our leaders in all
parties.Everyone says Jai Telangana,makes all false promises,two eyes,blah blah finally they cheat us by dividing some percentage of votes.then
leders like Jagadapati comes in to scene and says that all Telangana people are not supoorting separate demand,how it is true?All agrees to T-state
and so rural innocent people votes for other T-parties just they think that they also supporting but verdict ultimatley ll be manipulated by your SA
leaders and creates confusion.we became clever by seeing all since 2001 so now we dont want to create that confusion in T-people again
4.We never insulted,abused common Andhra people anytime.We abused cheaters,opposers to our legitimate demand,Thats it.
5.Out of 25 MPs ,howmany are supporting United?If elections comes again,howmany will get tickets and howmany ll win?
6.For all of our problems,there is only single medicine that is our new state.Party Heads are from Andhra only so ultimately all T-leaders are also
bound to obey decisions favouring to SA so if Telangana forms,noone cares for your leaders tactics so finally our leaders focus on development of
our region only.
7.Before posing this query to us ask you MP what he did to your region.
8."Telangana kosamu gongali purugu ni kuda kougilinchukontamu"Its famous statement made by KCR.We need Telangana,If congress gives,then we hug congress
if NDA then we hug NDA.Why you are bothering about TRS alliances.TRS candidates are not poor candidates they are hardcore Telangana supporters
but public were cheated by congress,TDP and PRP false promises in last elections
9.If we ll be affected by your stupid arguments on dams,then let us face all in new state,why you are crying like
crocodile?
We got nothing in united state,something is better than nothing right???

@naveen,@Vijay,
Well said brothers,
All the questions raised by deefeye are Third rated questions which are not worth replying but because it was questioned good reply is given.
One thing we should notice from these SA people and their leaders, their mentality is highly poisonous with a cunning attitude.
1. They conveniently ignore the real issues of T and start attacking leaders fighting for T.
2. Who ever opposes KCR or TRS will become their quick friends.
3. If MIM opposes T they will become friendly to them.
4. How to split T unity and create clashes between various T leaders is a Brain storming exercise for them.
5. Have full control on TDP and state Congress to have an upper hand by silencing T leaders.
SA leaders strictly follow Britishers Divide and rule strategy, WERE THEY OFFSPRINGS OF BRITISHERS or DID THEY EAT S**T OF BRITISHERS ????

@vijay
thanks for your patient replies to my queries. i have added my comments after your replies.
Q.1 – if kcr is confident of grass root level support for telangana , then why is he shying away from resigning and getting elected again. after all he promised to resign whether tjac approves or not.
A.1 – KCR has resigned in the past as an MP and won in a trumpeting way, but why should we ask his resignation, when Telangana Congress and TDP MLA’s cheated the people of Telangana in the resignation issue when TJAC asked for them to resign (including the MP’s). If you are still not convinced, TRS itself told that they will think about the resignation of their MP’s after the MLA’s by-elections!.
pls do not confuse with kcr's resignation in the past and his reelection. this time was under different circumstances. as soon as TOR of skc was announced kcr declared that TOR is not acceptable and that they would not respond to skc and all mla's and mp's will resign. he also added that even if tjac disaaproves they will all resign. not only did kcr not resign he also accepted skc's invite to make his presentation. if kcr did not feel it right to resign his mp seat with what authority or dignity or respect did he demand all t mla's of congress and tdp resign. in fact he got tjac and trs cadre to do dharna in front of t mla's who did not resign and ridiculed them.it shows only one thing. kcr wanted to dominate tjac and also was not bothered if tmla's were united for T. he sowed the seeds of disunity by his actions.
Q.2 – if you are so confident of grassroot level support for telangana , why do you physically oppose tours of leaders like jagam , chiru etc , in telangana region.are you afraid T sentiment will get eroded or washed away . dont you have confidence in the ppl of telangana ? its okay to boycott movies which ridcule T ppl or language by why stop SA leaders from going round T districts ?
A.2 – The fact is this opposition not limited to SA leaders but also to T-leaders who didn’t resigned when TJAC asked them to do so. Well, you know for sure what this Chiranjeevi and YSJ did after December 9th statement from Central Government, one changed his political and promised stand and other one is raising play cards showing United Andhra Pradesh in Lok Sabha. If they wouldn’t have done that they are welcome in Telangana or any where in India. Any SA leader has to express his opinion on Telangana before venturing out in Telangana because they were the culprits who stopped the formation of Telangana and forced the Centre to appoint a committee.
how can TJAC have 2 standards . kcr need not resign but others who did not resign cannot tour T. then by the same logic kcr also should not be allowed to tour T. you also ignored my query. does tjac and trs lack self confidence that they are stopping T as well as SA leaders from touring T.
Q.3 – if you are confident grass root support exists for Telangana , why are you opposing candidates from other parties contesting the bye polls.other parties are being cajoled, threatened not to contest.
A.3 – Nobody even the TRS did not stated that “other candidates / parties should not contest the by-elections” except the TJAC, because TJAC asked everyone to resign and if others cheat them then why should they contest. Simply to gain more seats and say that Telangana movement is gone ,and of course its people’s opinion that nobody should contest these by-elections other than resigned individuals, even if they do they might not get a deposit. Finally, don’t you think it is unfair?
kcr did not resign. why is tjac treating him differently and all others differently. tjac by making this appeal to all parties to ensure the 10 mlas are elected unopposed , is displaying its lack of confidence in the electorate.
Q.4 – dont you accept it is wrong to bad moouth , insult , abuse leaders and ppl of other regions . even IF T is formed , ppl of all regions have to cooperate for a peaceful co existence.
A.4 – Good point, former Hyderabad state’s culture is often referred to as a “Ganga-Jamuna tehzeeb” that is peaceful co-existence of all. I think the Telanganites and Hyderabadi’s still have that spirit and there will be peaceful co-existance in Telangana state, but one thing you should remember that the “Telangana Rebellion” from 1946 – 1951 erupted from the same people when they were abused by the Nizam administrators. Further the “Hyderabad Liberation Struggle”, referred when the people of Telangana sought integration of state with rest of India with a non-violent and peaceful struggle before 1948 but this turned violent when Nizam tried to quell this using Razakars.
Q. 5 – the approval and vote of 25 mps from SA is crucial for any vote on T and for any proposals later on. dont you think you are burning your bridges by all this bad mouthing and abuse.
A. 5 – Yes, SA mps are crucial for a T- Resolution in parliament, but I think there will be many to support the aspirations of Telangana after the Srikrishna Committee judgment. I don’t think all the mp’s in the parliament can be bought by money power of SA’s!. If you insist on Assembly resolution, this is just for name sake, for administative purpose, constitutionally it can be omitted as it happened during the formation of Gujarat State!. Telanganites are opposed to the MP’s, leaders and influential people who are against their aspirations and formation of Telangana state, which is known to them also!.
this does not answer my question. if the 25 mps of SA are crucial for T and for proposals thereafter why abuse and ridcule them. here it feel it is kcr who is being insulting and abrasive and this may not be conducive for future cooperation. whats your opinion.
Q. 6 – you are blaming SA ppl for all the ills of telangana . telangana has contributed one PM , 2 CM’s and several union ministers and state ministers and MP’s , during these last 6 decades. Why dont you hold these T leaders accountable for the problems in telangana.
A. 6 – Yes, they are also liable for this situation of Telangana now. But eveyone in Telangana know that SA leaders and people bought down the first Telangana CM PV in 1973 and President’s rule please read further on this in this link (http://www.hindu.com/2004/12/24/stories/2004122407531200.htm), and they didn’t entertain any Telangana leader who speak or spoke against them (SA) and all Telangana ministers or leaders should listen to them…just take an example of the present home minister.
i am not convinced by your reply. if kcr and his mlas could resign several times why couldnt these PM's , CM's MP's , Ministers' from T ever resign in the past if justice was not being done for T.how are they accountable. how are their kith and kin being allowed to be elected inspite of such injustice.
Q. 7 – what has been kcr’s contribution to T as no 2 in TDP, union minister and mp in upa govt , till nov 09. we all know what he has done post nov 09.
A. 7 – His contribution to Telangana is indisputable now, He is a hero who enlightened the people of their roots (culture and language) and discrimination by SA interests since the formation of Andhra Pradesh. He is relentlessly working on the formation of Telangana, can you tell me what is the contribution of Andhra MP’s in the first and second UPA governments, you just quoted 25 Andhra MP’s in present government what they are contributing for the state….just ask yourselves!
i am asking about kcr's positive contribution to T , with regard to projects , funds, allocations etc. culture and language will not fill people stomachs and educate them and give them a livelihood. what has he done for crucial areas like irrigation, industry, power, employment creation etc.
Q. 8 – hasnt trs diluted its case for telangana by constantly switching allies , nda, upa, maha kutami , nda again and by poor candidate selection in all elections contested by trs so far. werent candidates selected for reasons other than merit.
A. 8 – TRS allied with any party who supported Telangana formation and snapped its ties who declined its support and it is their principle and they stood by it!. It is their party choice to select the candidates either merit or sentiment etc, but before asking such question, which party is honest in selecting candidates on merit, take an example of PRP etc for reasoning.
kcr was in the mahakutami and even before the election results were announced he jumped on to the nda band wagon. everyone knew nda had no chance as crucial allies like bjd, trinamool congress , hvp etc broke away from nda before the elections. this being the case what madee kcr jump to nda. did he not establish that he was not a reliable ally and will this not affect his future prospects. he cannot fight single handedly and allies are a must.
Q. 9 – telangana due to its geographical topography and location in the deccan plateau is about 1000-2000 ft above sea level . that is why dams and irrigation projects are difficult to build and expensive due to lift irrigation in most cases. if T is formed andhra region will have a larger share of river waters due to it being a lower riparian state. further water has to be assured and prioritised for the lower riparian state. dont you think this will be disadvantageous in the long run for T.
A.9 – I agree with the topography but I disagree that dams and irrigation projects are difficult to build simply because there was no political will to build dam(s) on Godavari river which enters in Nizamabad district (and after Sri Ram Sagar Project) and passes through Telangana districts and enters Andhra region because it will affect the flows in the lower riparian areas. The Jalayagnam is doing something don’t know how much it will benefit Telangana in future, you know the water tribunals who will judge according to the needs of the respective states and for Telangana and Andhra state there will be one to decide on it.
i still maintain irrigating telangana is expensive, difficult and power intensive due to lift irrigation and andhra region will benefit by getting surplus and assured river waters.

Discrimination or no discrimination, development or no development, the people of Telangana have a fundamental right to ask for a seperate state. It seems that a sizeable percentage of people really demand a seperate state.
When it come to Hyderabad, it is a funny argument that already overstretched in terms of resources and amenities will become a joint capital or a union terrirory. Hyderabad belongs to Hyderabad state, in which Telangana was a part and if Telangana is formed Hyderabad cannot be seperated from it.
A joint capital will kill Hyderabad soon.
Telangana has no dearth of sane voices. It is time for them to come out and speak. Confrontation with SA people will ensure that Teangana will not form.
Civil wars can never happen. The governments love violent protests because then the government suppress with brutal force and create an impression of being macho. The trigger happy police officers will have a field day. We have seen that Anjaneyulu in Osmania University. The ordinary man has no chance against the mighty state.
Telangana has very good leaders and they should come up now.

Don't call me names. I am not SA. I have no slight opinion of Telangana people. Rather I would think given the chance Telangana students are no less intelligent than Andhra people. They have proved in Intermediate results.
If these people have fought the most idiotic tyrrant like Nizam and his cronies, they are no less than Indian National Army.

Trivedi, one hundred percent agreed.dev or no dev it is hundred percent the democratic wish of T ppl to have a separate state.
Also u r right that there is no dearth of sane voices in T to come forth and express views. T leaders may not dare bcz the moment any body dares doing ,will be threatened by ppl for various reasons, as these ppl are with cupbord full of skeletons.
now left only are the common ppl literate/illiterate. it is these who should voice ,and the same has happened already and is still happening.so sooner it is understood ,the better it is for all concerned.
