Court dismisses plea to defer Telangana by-polls
The Andhra Pradesh High Court Tuesday dismissed a petition seeking postponement of by-elections to 12 assembly constituencies in the Telangana region.
A division bench dismissed the petition, saying the court will not interfere in the functioning of the Election Commission of India.
It suggested to the petitioner to move the commission if he had any objections with regard to the elections.
Elections to 12 constituencies are likely to be held in August and the poll schedule is expected to be announced by month-end.
Lawyer J. Narayanswamy, who belongs to Anantapur district, filed the petition seeking court orders to the commission against issuing the poll notification.
The petitioner argued that the situation in Telangana was not conducive to holding polls.
The petition had assumed significance in view of the pressure on both the ruling Congress and the main opposition Telugu Desam Party (TDP) from groups seeking a separate state of Telangana not to contest the by-polls.
The by-elections were necessitated by the resignation of all 10 legislators of Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) and one legislator each of the TDP and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to press the demand for separate Telangana state.
The TRS, BJP and other pro-Telangana parties and groups have appealed to the Congress and TDP not to enter the fray and ensure the unanimous election of the legislators who resigned for the cause of Telangana.
A section of Congress leaders in Telangana region have also urged the party leadership not to field candidates. State Congress chief D. Srinivas met party president Sonia Gandhi in New Delhi Tuesday to discuss the developments.
Congress sources said the central leadership would take a decision on the issue after deliberations with all sections within the party.

Lawyer J. Narayanswamy, who belongs to Anantapur district, should write his own
"THE CONSTITUTION OF INDIA" from Seemandhra and convince Congress leaders in Delhi to adopt his.
He can use resignation threat from Seemandhra MPs and make Congress in Delhi to use his "THE CONSTITUTION OF INDIA"

@DF / Surya and others, Would like to ask you a simple question, ARE YOU ALLERGIC WITH TRS AND KCR or WITH THE SEPARATION OF THE STATE OF TELANGANA? Hope and expect a reply without using the DIVINE and HOLY words now flourishing on this forum.

All TDP/CONGRESS favourites,
now listen.congress/tdp cant contest and say they r for telangana ,in which case skc will give its verdict in september 10 itself in favour of T.if they are contesting and not saying they r for telangana ,then T voter will bury them forever.so they are in a situation of "mundu nuyyi,venaka goyyi"

Using the same logic SKC can form an opinion that TRS is not interested in Hyderabad , as TRS did not contest the City elections , and recommend UT status for Hyderabad. After all SKC is going into the history and events of last 6 decades.

Surya,
hyderabad and telangana are not separate identities.can any one say iam not interested in my head, but i want to keep my body healthy and alive. Why TRS was not interested in contesting ghmc elections was that they were preparing a bigger event of kcr's fasting in nov 09,which ultimately led to the dec 09 declaration.do u think by contesting ghmc elections and winning few seats would have helped T cause.so a leader takes a course which is always beneficial in the larger interests.

Applying the same logic Telangana and Andhra as of now are not seperate identities.So why should SKC form an opinion on election strategy or results.

@sur
Telangana and Andhra are seperate identities. This was merged artificially with some agreements that were broken later.
Hyderabad state is Telangana state and Telangana state is Hyderabad state.
You don't understand this as you never had capital for yourself. You people tried to steal Madras but Tamils knew how to treat you guys. Now we will teach a lesson in regard to Hyderabad.
Get your own capital and your own identity.
That is what Jai Andhra people are asking for.

Telangana and andhra are not separate identities as of now is right,but when there is a dispute for a thing between two opposing groups every small detail that is happening between them will go into making a final judgement as to who is more justified.so a by election necessitated by non- formation of telangana would definitely have its bearing on the judgement day,it may not be by september end but by dec end,and when i said sep end i meant that it will weigh very heavily in T favour without scrapping through much data.
Realising this now congi/tdp are going to play a different game altogether.once ysr said before 2009 elections,'congress may loose by not heeding telangana, but can come to power next time,but once telangana goes it will never come back'.so congress will contest by bonking develoment tunes, and may scrap through with few thousand votes of illiterate ppl and tdp will loose deposits.chandrababu may consider merging tdp with congress,bcz he is simply following congress regarding telangana issue.

@All,there is no political party in this world that including India which says we are not interested in a particular place or region or state. We have plenty of eg. Shivsena has no full presence in Maha but has followers and branches in many states, the same is BSP, SP, JD, communist parties etc. etc. the question / statement is totally ridiculous that TRS is not interested in Hyderabad. Yes, it depends on the interest of the people whom they vote for. MIM has no presence in the districts that never means they are not interested. BJP has no presence in Kerala that never means they r not interested. BTW, 'no presence' I mean not being elected in light words, the people of a particular place electing some other party than of what I referred above. The Maha Kootami comprising of almost all the big politcial parties couldn't defeat MIM in Hyderabad, what that means? AT the same time it doesn't mean these parties have no presence in Hyderabad. Winning of election is neither a symbol of 100% acceptance nor losing is a symbol of 0% presence.

No presence means not being elected.
Not interested means not contesting elections.
By TRS boycotting the Hyd polls what does it signify. It is not interested in Hyd or it is not confident of a presence in Hyd.
Trying and failing is more acceptable than not trying and not succeeding.

@Surya, It happens time to time the parties / individuals do boycott for some reasons. Creation of GHMC was opposed by many and that was one of the reasons for the boycott of GHMC elections. This shows how the so called democratic process is transperent and how the parties are eager to get in to power not even thinking of consequences. increasing the size of Hyderabad was and is a very big conspiracy of SA land mafia with the nexus leading to the leaders of SA and others who has vested interests in this. BTW, the govt. is still planning to increase the city area further to merge several mandals from so many districts of T and this conspiracy should be dealt with by creating T and kicking out all this mafia from T.

@Syed
GHMC was bound to increase in size considering the phenomenal growth in city population and size.
Who so ever would have been in power ,( even KCR ) would have increased the limits of GHMC. Congress did it because it was in power and other parties are crying foul because they lost an opportunity to make money.
By the way many of the so called mafia are local T people . So where will you kick them.
AbdulMuqtadir Syed
Jun 18, 2010 @ 18:45:50
@Surya, it is an open secret it is the mafia of SA not of T (yes there are some T realtors also present) but it is fully or may be 95% realtors / builders / developers are from SA compared to T, therefore, the bigger loosers will be from SA not from T. What is reuired the govt. does and should do but not undermining the LOCALS requirements and without developing the INFRASTRUCTURE is just because of the MONEY they can make and the PRESSURE they get from the mafia. The increase had literally dwarfed some of the T districts, and further increase of the city limits could bring at least one dist. of T to disappear, and you still praise the decision, and why don't you do that, it is the desire of SAs to make the whole T disappear and loose its identity and still you people are very innocent and honest and should be praised, good go ahead buddy, if and when as you predicted the violence starts then only seems you people will understand what the PAIN means.

@Syed
On what basis do you assume 95% of Realtors are from SA.Do you have some statistics or information to back this assumption.
Hyderabad is 621.48 sq miles in area.
Even the smallest district in T – ranga Reddy may be 100 times in size of area.
So how do you imagine one day Hyderabad will dwarf or swallow the districts or entire T.
Syedsaab pls be realistic in your comments.
AbdulMuqtadir Syed
Jun 18, 2010 @ 19:31:17
@Surya, for everything you ask for a statistics i.e. the proof. For everything you can't have proof (at least as a common man who is not part of the govt. or the govt. itself) to present the facts. BTW, every proven thing NOT NECESSARILY be the TRUTH as you are trying to upbeat. If we go as per that the proofs have proved the case of Bhopal gas and SC gave its judgment and we Indians should accept it as the JUSTICE done to Bhopal.
Back to your point, I have been to several places for the purchasing of land the main owner / developers I have seen are not from T but from SA, BTW, I am talking about the big dealers not someone having a plot of 1000 sqy or something I am talking about those who developed agricultural land in to colonies etc.
When you talk about statistics means the numbers means even if 1 is reduced or increased should be considerd as change this is what the basic principle of mathematics so the mandals added to GHMC don't you think has reduced the other districts of T? Don't you accept further increase of GHMC will further reduce the size of the T districts? We all know the target is RR dist.
I know you will repeat that Syed you always end or comment with questions, but what to do you need proofs, and the proof lies within the vicinity if we try to see it and understand it.

@Syed
So you want people to accept your comments as the gospel truth and nothing but the truth , even if it is not supported. Will you accept others comments similiarily ?
I have transacted 4 plots in and around Hyderabad. 3 of the four are from T and i have the docs to prove it.I have developed 2 properties and most of the buyers are from T. But my experience is miniscule so i will not form an opinion that a majority are from T. Thats why i said many are from T.Yes SA Realtors are also there so are realtors from Delhi , Mumbai and Bangalore. DLF, Mantri, Raheja ,Shobha ,Sahara,etc. So how is a SA realtor different from the realtors from other states.
Yes the size of districts have reduced when GHMC limits are increased. But the the same time realise the increase in GHMC areas increases substantially but the decrease in district size is miniscule compared to the overall district size .

@Surya, Again the same standard practise of DF, read my comment I said T realtors less than compared to SAs, secondly the Big firms are of SAs and I have clearly mentioned I am not talking of one plot or two my only reference is to BIG DEVELOPERS.
I didn't say accept what I am writing, I said accept the truth.
The wording and style of mentioning is same 110% of DF, that is why I compared you with DF.

You are at liberty to compare me with anyone.
I dont agree majority or realtors are from SA unless i see facts. Yes there are realtors from T, SA and other states also handling very big projects.When realtors from other states can invest in Hyderabad why cannot realtors from SA. After all SA is a 6 month old definition created by some unemployed politians

@Surya, many a times we see but won't NOTICE normally we say this 'it didn't click to me', however, we have not questioned who should be or shouldn't be a realtor, what we said is the loss these SA realtors will face is more compare to Ts as they are more in this field of buisness.
You claim you are in Hyderabad for decades so you msut know what local Hyderabadi refers about those SAs from the beginning is Andhrawaale, or Andhrollu if you don't want to accept this I don't need to force you but this was and is the terminology in use in Hyderabad at least I know this since 1965.
