Daijiworld Media Network – Hyderabad (SP)

Hyderabad, Jun 30: K Chandrashekhar Rao, fire brand president of Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS), reiterated his demand for according the status of separate state to Telangana by carving it out of Andhra Pradesh. Referring to certain reports appearing in the media, he asked the union government to shelve its proposal to set up an autonomous regional development council for Telangana, warning that such a step would give rise to turmoil in Telangana region.

Rao was addressing the participants of a meeting held in memory of Prof Kothapalli Jayashankar, former vice-chancellor of Kakatiya University, who was totally dedicated to the cause of separate Telangana state, on Wednesday June 29. Prof Jayashankar breathed his last on June 21, 2011. The Joint Action Committee has demanded for the erection of statue of Jayashankar at Tank Bund in the city.

Rao promised the gathering to carry on the mantle left behind by Jayashankar all through his life. He reminded the Prime Minister that the Congress government had promised on December 9, 2009, to create a separate Telangana state. He warned that the PM that the latter will be solely responsible if people of Telangana erupt in unison to oppose any tricks the union government may play to undermine Telangana movement.

“We will not accept anything other than a separate state. Four crore people of Telangana want a state for themselves. We are committed to carry forward Jayashankar’s ideals to continue with the fight till final result is achieved,” he announced.

A number of other people also spoke on the occasion, hailing Jayashankar for unselfish services to the cause of Telangana in the face of grave problems. Telangana Joint Action Committee chairman, M Kodandaram, a number of dignitaries, professionals, BJP leaders including state president, G Kishan Reddy and Najma Heptulla, and CPI leaders were present at the meeting.

After the meeting, Rao met state panchayati raj minister, K Jana Reddy, who hails from Telangana region. The visit was in tune with the Joint Action Committee’s decision to exert pressure on political bigwigs hailing from Telangana region to back the demand for separate state.

    Vishal,

    Your learned friends are not correct. You don't have to believe my words. Check the statistics - which was published in ET in 2010 - and you will notice that Telangana region is NOT the backward region of AP. It's better in many aspects than Coastal (by a small margin) and Rayalseema region(by wide margin). I am sure you will find it if you Google for it a bit.

    Further, the reasons for asking this state has changed. Initially, they talked about less development. When statistics was shown to them, they talked about Govt Jobs different culture. Every district in India has a different culture. On that basis, should every part of India be made a different state. Regionalism has grown in the recent times. Instead of moving ahead, we are taking 2 steps back - in the name of reservations, states and what not

    I have spoken to many people from AP(non-Telangana region), all of whom are saying that the demand for a separate state is legitimate considering the backward status of the region. Interestingly, they all are against division of AP. The reason given by them for this is that rich people have invested a lot of money in cities like Hyderabad and if Telangana is carved out, then, their investment value will come down!

    If this is the case, then, KCR's fight for separate state is well justified because Telangana region people should not suffer for guarding the vested interest of the rich and the powerful real estate lobby.
