For several decades, the Telangana sympathisers nurtured severe dissent and hatred for the leaders belonging to the Andhra region for injudiciously exploiting their resources and curtailing their identity and self respect. Apart from the leaders alone, the animosity slowly spread to the people of Andhra region during the 4 year struggle for a separate Telangana.
Political leaders belonging to all the parties in Telangana spewed venom on Andhra people and in retaliation, the Andhraites to counter attacked with intense hatred. The animosity between the Andhra and Telangana people rose to such dangerous levels that there were numerous incidents of physical attacks between people belonging to both the regions.
However, the war of words and animosity lessened down soon after the separate Telangana was formed last year. People from both the states, in no time, got busier with their lives in the newly formed states, with several challenges ahead. A much needed friendship and cordial ties have also been developed over the last one year between the commoners in both the states.
Now, with the Telangana government allegedly leaking the audio tapes reportedly featuring AP CM Chandrababu Naidu in conversation with TRS MLA Stephenson in the infamous cash for vote scandal, Telangana political circles and TRS sympathisers started attacking Babu for his dubious ways of strengthening the party’s roots in Telangana.
In its counter attack, the AP government released TRS Minister KTR’s alleged telephonic conversation with TDP MLAs from T-region discussing about trading them for an amount of 3 crores each. This got the TDP sympathizers aiming their guns at the TRS supporters and this soon led to a murky war of words.
Furthermore, the AP Communication Advisor Parakala Prabhakar and KTR mutually alleged that the respective governments are trying to instigate a negative vibe between the people of both the states. Even though the leaders were quick to make these statements, the damage has already been done and it has become more a fight between the commoners in both the states, than the leaders themselves.
At this juncture, one can only hope that better sense prevails among the AP and TG people, who should realise that these leaders, for their political gains, can go to any extremes and will eventually be set free without any legal hassles and it is only the common people who will end up losing their peace and normalcy in their lives. People, wake up and take it easy!
