Who are the “Real” Anti Nationals? – by Mahesh Thipparthi

In the representation made to Sri Krishna Committee ,SeemaAndhra Ministers mentioned in their report that people asking for “Telangana“ separate state are anti nationals. This statement void of any rational logic and it is apparently tells people of India that how arrogant Andhra leadership has become. Anybody who has different opinion with them in anti-national. In this present article, I want to deconstruct Seemandhra society and how their society traits are responsible for present state of affairs in the state and also for arrogant comments like this.

Death of Democratic institutions:

Ever since Telangana agitation started there is one interesting thing that has gone unnoticed- leaders from Rayalaseema started talking about Democracy. In their wildest dream also they never practiced democracy. Though I was born in Telangana, I did my entire education in Rayalaseema, except few years here and there. As kid growing up there in early 90’s it was very difficult to go to school in elections times, you never know from where bombs may hit you. Election Day like a bandth day. Nobody with right mind would go to pooling booth to exercise their vote. In villages’ situation was even worse. Total booth capturing. One political party MLA cannot enter opponent’s strong hold. I feel utterly ashamed to be ruled by these Royalseema Leaders who never practiced any kind of democratic principle are ruling the state in different capacities. These leaders respect for human values is known to all. Leave alone human values they never respected human lives also. Killing opponents for flimsy reason is their way of life. With utter shamelessness they support those killings.

The little we talk about these guys giving respect to dalit men and women, the better. Absence of naxalism there perhaps the reason for that.It is really sad to see that in the state level not a single person represents dalits or OBCS from Rayalaseema. There is no room for “ Manda Krishna Madiga or Kadiam srihari or P.Mahendranath” in that part of Andhra Pradesh. There was no question of violence free polls. I feel really ashamed to listen to these feudal leaders talking about “democracy”. When these leader emerged from such a back ground which is notorious for disrespecting minimum democratic principles and occupied the positions that are reserved for only for true statesmen what else will happen is everybody’s guess.

These guys have who tasted the literally the human blood by killing their opponents, started tasting the blood of capitalism. This resulted into building business conglomerates, media houses, and cement factories etc. When ruthless mind is backed by ugly affluence out of misuse of power has become last nail in the coffin for democracy in AP.When this happens there is no force on the earth can contain them? This very attitude of these gentlemen resulted in diverting the due water to Telangana in the form of Pothireddypadu. This even went to the extent that YSR Reddy was planning to put up Nuclear power plant in his constituency by diverting Krishna Rivers. The reason is that under the interest of notion he wanted loot the resources of Telangana, wanted to legalize his wrong motives. The list is endless how Rayalaseema leadership dismantled democratic setup in AP.

Economic Terrorism:

If there is any award for so many financial frauds in this country that certainly must go to Andhra Pradesh. You can take recent “Satyam Scam” to the tune of 14000 corers of rupees. Prior to this “Krushi Bank scam” and before that “Charminar Bank scam. Or for that matter GTB scam. Leave alone all the pretty scams that happen across Andhra Pradesh almost on weekly basis in terms of runaway “chit Funds”. If there is any common thread passing through all these scams is- the owner’s hip of these institutions big or small is predominantly from one region. It is common knowledge that this was done with tacit support of then political leadership at the state.

How State Finance Corporation (SFC) has become testing tool for so called Andhra entrepreneurship should a case study for any reputed B-school, as this clearly underlines the fact how any institution can be decimated for personal goals with the support of state. This economic terrorism with the support of state unleashed my dear Andhra friends has far reaching consequences to the shareholders of society. Same kind of unscrupulous money that has gone into encroaching land around Hyderabad and drive the poor peasants away from cities. There is school of thought that this economic terrorism has far reaching consequences of the people as it directly affects the lifeline of human being instead of the terrorism perpetrated on the lines of religion or anything.

In Undivided AP,Rayalseema leaders dismantled the democratic institutions for their own personal goals and Andhra leadership perpetrated economic terrorism on the state for their very own personal benefits. Going by any dictionary anti national is one who works against the constitutional framework. Our constitutional framework is based on democratic norms. Given the back drop I have given it can be easily inferred from those activities of dear Andhra and Rayalaseema leaders that these people deeds are against our constitutional framework. Under the cover of Telugu” my dear leader you looted and cheated Telangana. When the people of Telangana, for legitimate reasons, asking for separate state you are calling them anti-nationals. When you parted ways with Madras state weren’t you one my dear Andhra minster?. If I conclude that I am under the rule of anti nationals, is it a fair statement to make, going by your own admission to Sri Krishna Commission?

I want to conclude this article by asking simple question to you – ministers who is real Anti National?

P.S : Today is Indian Independence Day. If independence is all about celebrating our democracy, Telangana people may have to wait little longer.
