We will not accept Royal Telangana – TDP

Share

Telugu Desam Telangana Forum today asserted that it was against any move to create a new state comprising Telangana and parts of Rayalaseema region of Andhra Pradesh. The TDP wing was reacting to the Congress’ reported move to create a “Rayala-Telangana” state comprising two districts of Rayalaseema and ten of Telangana. “We will not accept Rayala-Telangana. We only want an exclusive Telangana state, including Hyderabad,” Forum leaders and MLAs Motkupalli Narasimhulu and P Mahender Reddy said here.
The so-called Rayala-Telangana proposal was yet another deceitful ploy by the Congress to further delay creation of Telangana state, they alleged. “The Congress had been cheating people on Telangana issue for the past 60 years. The public opinion is clearly in favour of a separate state and it should be honoured.” There was no change in Telugu Desam’s stand on the statehood issue and it remained committed to what it gave in writing to the Pranab Mukherjee Committee, the leaders said.
The TDP leaders were reacting to speculation that the Congress would announce a decision on bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh soon after the July 19 Presidential elections. Talk is that a new state, comprising 10 districts of Telangana and Kurnool and Anantapur districts of Rayalaseema region, would be formed. According to reports, Chittoor and Kadapa, also part of Rayalaseema, will be merged with the nine coastal districts and they would collectively form a new Andhra state.
A large section of Congress leaders from Rayalaseema region are said to be supporting this idea. Majlis-e-Itehadul Muslimeen is also not averse to formation of Rayala-Telangana. Pro-Telangana groups, however, want only an exclusive Telangana state with Hyderabad as its capital.

Publicity Failure impacts AP Congress !

Share

The post election postmortem of Congress party has revealed several startling facts. The nine member ministers group is dwelling in length about the factors that influenced the defeat of Congress party in the recently concluded by elections and it has come to a conclusion that the publicity failure of several schemes of the state government has certainly shown its impact on the elections and voter percentage.
In 2009 general elections the Congress used to rely on the publicity of positive scheme implementation on a large scale and that has given the scope for securing the needed majority in that polls for the party. But the post election scenario has dampened that spirit and particularly after the sudden demise of YSR the process has come to a grinding halt in the Rosaiah and KKR regimes respectively.
It could be the major lacunae on the part of the Congress party and it could be the prime reason for all the losses in the elections in the subsequent period, the ministers committee felt. The ministers committee headed by Dharmana Prasad Rao is likely to submit its interim report to the government on July 16 with certain proposals before the Presidential elections.
There is a unanimous conclusion that the publicity failure was the prime reason for the election debacle so far and that could be taken into consideration for launching a serious publicity drive in the coming months.

Is Chiru out of Sonia’s Mind now ?

Share
There is no change of leadership in Congress party as anticipated by many leaders of the ruling party. However, one person is said to be receiving punch from high-command even after steering the party to a win by-polls.
Megastar Chiranjeevi is not getting a smooth treatment from the ruling party after the finishing of by-polls. His sharp comments that only PRP cadre has worked well in the by-polls has pushed him into the negative books of high-command it seems. To finish the job of strengthening the cadre in Andhra Pradesh, Sonia is now sending Rahul Gandhi, says a Congress insider. They say that Chiru got erased from Sonia’s mind and this is evident with the MP not giving a glimpse any Congress meetings these days.
Though both Chiru and Rahul are failures as politicians, Megastar is 100 times better than the hereditary-leader of Congress party. If Sonia feels that Chiru cannot come as a lucky mascot for them in 2014 and keeps him aside, things may go worse. There will a huge split in the Kapu vote banks of AP, fetching some other parties, a Chiru admirer stated.
