Telangana CM KCR has mastered the art of being at least one step ahead of his counterpart Andhra Pradesh CM Chandra Babu Naidu.It is a fact that people in Andhra have a certain craze for KCR and his language. Now, KCR has gone a step further and done his bit for safeguarding the future of Telugu as a language.A couple of days back, he announced that it will be compulsory for all students to take Telugu from class I to class XII, in both public and private schools.
While some raised concerns about linguistic minorities, Vice President Venkaiah Naidu too welcomed the move and hoped that a similar ruling would be passed by Andhra Pradesh government.This apart, the Telangana CM had also announced that ‘World Telugu Conference’ will be held between October 22 and October 28 in Hyderabad. The inaugural function of the same will be held on Vijayadasami.
In sharp contrast, the Andhra Pradesh CM turned a deaf ear to the pleas of Telugu intellectuals to take timely steps to protect the language and plight of Telugu university.Also much to the chagrin of language lovers, Chandra Babu passed orders that English must replace Telugu as the medium of instruction even in municipal schools. His callous attitude has left the ‘intellectuals’ enraged.KCR on the other hand, has also initiated the move to set up a commission to look into the right to information act. So, in all, for now, KCR seems to score over Babu.
