Congress leaders also warn about civil war if T-State not formed.

Highlighting the injustice meted to the Telangana region in the last six decades in the fields of irrigation, industry, services and other sectors, Congress leaders from the region today told the Justice BN Srikrishna committee members that there would be a civil war if separate statehood for the region did not materialise.
After having day-long deliberations with the committee members they exuded confidence that the latter would recommend to the Centre in favour of Telangana state formation.
The leaders, who included R Damodar Reddy, reportedly told committee chairman Justice BN Srikrishna that not only the outbreak of a civil war but also the Naxalites or Maoists taking advantage of the youth of Telangana was greater if separate state was not formed.
Disputing the Telangana Congress leaders’ claim that there was `unanimity’ among them on statehood issue, committee member-secretary VK Duggal said later that the party’s Rajya Sabha member and INTUC leader, G Sanjeeva Reddy, along with a 10-member delegation submitted a representation in support of ‘United Andhra Pradesh’. The Telangana leaders who included INTUC vice-president Venkat Rao, in response, remarked that Sanjeeva Reddy’s claim was intended to have personal gains.
In reality, the Rajya Sabha member had left the city (Hyderabad) long ago and had been living in the national capital. The entire INTUC was in favour of Telangana state, they reportedly asserted.
In all, the Telangana Congress leaders made presentation on 12 various subjects including ‘historical’ background of Telangana movement (by TRCCC convener G Chinna Reddy), Naxalism (MP M Jagannadham), political powers and disparities (MP G Vivek), agreements and violations (MLC KR Amos), service matters (MLA Uttam Kumar Reddy), revenue (B Kamalakar Rao), Hyderabad _ metro city (MP S Satyanarayana), irrigation and power (P Narasa Reddy), human resource (TCMG member Shyam Mohan), industrial development (S Satyanarayana), labour (B Venkat Rao) and sociocultural issues (TCMG convenwr G Niranjan, R Ananda Bhaskar, Rajani Reddy, Sirajuddin).
Speaking to mediapersons after the meeting which was held at Jubilee Hall in the Public Gardens here between 9:30 am and 6 pm, senior leaders and MLAs K Jana Reddy, R Damodar Reddy, MPs M Jagannadham, P Prabhakar and others claimed that the Srikrishna Committee members had responded ‘favourably’ to their arguments and views.
Replying to a query, Damodar Reddy asserted that their argument on Telangana was in no way connected to the July 27 byelections in the region. In fact, the Telangana movement was decades old and the present situation was only a ‘cease-fire’ till the committee submitted its report to the Centre, he said.
Another MP, G Sukhender Reddy, blamed the leaders of Andhra and Rayalaseema for Naxalism taking roots in Telangana. “In fact, Naxalite leaders like Kondapalli Sitaramaiah, Chandra Pulla Reddy, Azad and others belong to the Andhra region. There is no truth in the argument that Naxalism will increase if Telangana is a made a state,’’ he asserted.
Earlier in the day, about 150 Telangana Congress leaders including five ministers (D Sridhar Babu, P Sudershan Reddy, J Krishna Rao, K Venkat Reddy and DK Aruna), MPs, MLAs, MLCs, ZP chairpersons, DCC presidents, municipal mayors, TRCCC and TCMG members and senior party members, met at Gandhi Bhavan before arriving at the Gun Park near the State Assembly to pay tributes to Telangana martyrs.
Later, they marched towards Jubilee Hall to meet the Srikrishna committee.

Its election time guys. Congress people will wash any as**es and lick any feet to get some votes. Where were they from these many days? Why submit a report and make some noise only at election time? Pakka opportunists.

These so called bufoons are fit to create thamasha and confuse people only.
They think people are fools and will get carried away with their gimmicks.
If at all they are so determined,
1. Why they didnot resign like SA MLA’s? 2. Are they not the worst culprits in not retaining the Central govt dec 9 stand ?
3. Isn’t their impotency which caused dilution and diversion of Central govt stand after Dec 9.
4. Do they have guts to move a resolution for T state?
5. By any chance if congress wins this by elections, will they not change their tune?
6. When OU students were mercilessly beaten , how many of them really protested?
7. Home minister is from Telangana does she really have any control on Police ?
8. Do these leaders have guts to punish SA police officers who behaved ruthlessly against students and T activists ?
9. When Chidambaram announced lifting of cases against T activists, why it is not implemented ? Do these leaders have guts to lift cases?
Entire telangana understood that these leaders are impotent and spineless leaders who can act only with the permission of their SA bosses who influence high command more than them.

Surya,
it appears that it is kcr s strategy is to call for elections as many times as possible in a five year term ,so that all those who earned money illegally in telangana, are forced to spend in such elections, for instance the present by polls where a lot of seemandhra brokers will have to dump tones of money to gain as many votes as possible against telangana with a hope to thwart it, there by kcr is ensuring that the money misappropriated here gets spent here ! what a master strategy no !!!

@Surya, if KCR for predicting the civil war can be called by people like you as anti nationals then what about the other parties and their official representatives who mae their representation to SKC, and said clearly about civil war? What is your plan against congress and TDP as one is ruling the state and country and one is the main opposition party in the state? If the officials represnetatives talks of civil war then who is running the state today? The cabinet and its head are not anti nationals? Can you say anything against the congress party?
BTW, I did asked you above questions but we all know your reply.
Mark my words, you will defend the state govt. and talk against any individual of the party.

Very soon Telangana people are going to be free from Seemandhra but remember these:

@Surya, After reading your post the first thing I did is, I thanked the Almighty God for giving me the opportunity to make someone happy.
BTW, the word is not mine but I have referred from those anti Ts like you, if you want a ‘proof’ refer the comments of your anti T friends on this forum.
And as anticipated, you didn’t answer my question at all.
Now mark my words, if Telangana is not realised soon, definitely the situation will go beyond the control, it might not be a weaponed / armoured ambush with police or any force but definitely the PEACE of the region will go, and only the formation of T can bring it back. You tried to taunt sometime back on me saying those sitting outside the country are talking this and that, today I am saying to you while sitting in the heart of Telangana you are purposefully closing your eyes on the situation and the uneasiness of the community. You can realise this if you see and understand impartially, but you don’t because you need the AP state. T people are not at all interested in the UAP, they want their own state and they can go to any level to get it.
What democratic process you talk about? You can see the political parties dramas on T slogan as they are nearing to the elections in 12 constituencies, still you want the people to be quite and get cheated for another 4-5 years? Dear the time has gone.

These fellows are saying they are ready to ‘civil war’ but why they are not ready to resign for their posts as per JAC decision? SAs stopped the process of formation of TG just by resignation drama. These leaders have promised on martyrs dead bodies. But they have forgotten all these things, now simply saying many things for which we are not ready to believe. Telanganites know very well that who is obstructing since 1969.

The odarpu drama of Jagan could be a ploy of congress to divert the attention from T. I can see Jagan’s visit is a big drama being played by congress, this guy may come to T districts as well and this time since the elections are in schedule, the control is in the hands of the EC and for any violence or any unwanted incident will be on the account of EC and cong will escape from the blame.
