Want Telengana ? Then learn Italian...

Is AP (telengana) part of India ?

We have seen time and again the apathy shown by our union government towards states outside of the Hindi belt (with Kashmir being the lone
exception). The concerns of the NE states, especially the recent blockade in Manipur etc. didn’t wake up our government. Now add AP to that list.

Telengana region is simmering with anger and expection. With total paralysis looming and in particular all examinations in the month of March on track for cancellations due to agitations, bandhs etc. Already the Telengana region’s students are handicapped due to school closures many times during the academic year. The problem lies squarely with the Union Government and the congress party.

If only our Congress “Maatha” hadn’t announced a "gift" to the people of Telengana region on her birthday, things would have been lot different. Lack of firmer action and total capitulation to the TRS chief are reasons which are there for everyone to see. It created a monster in TRS and heightened sense of expectation in the people. Now people are crying and demanding that “gift”.

It is high time that people of Telengana focused their agitation on hurting the union government’s interests. Right now, their focus is misguided and is hurting the people of this region alone. By applying pressure and getting all congress MPs to resign from the lok sabha they will surely get “Maatha’s” notice. The next best option is to write a letter in Italian and ask all people of telengana to send it to “Maatha’s” residence. If telengana goes through unbearable times then the fault is mostly with Congress and to some extent with the TJAC which is not smart -- tactically -- in choosing whom to make the target. Instead it is hurting the residents of Telengana only.

Anyone in Delhi listening ?
