Blogging has been the best way of expressing my thoughts and views on several interesting socio-political and economic issues. My blogs have not only given me an opportunity to speak up on different issues but also they gave me a chance to keep myself updated with different perspectives on same issues through the interesting comments made by visitors of this blog.
I am happy that I am back to my blogging business. Had it been a few days back, I would have chosen the topic that everyone likes i.e, Modi, the man of Media :) Or had it been two days back, I would have chosen to talk about the God of Cricket Sachin and his retirement to ODIs. But since I have started today, I thought I will blog on Telangana all party meeting that's being convened tomorrow at Delhi by the central Govt.
This meeting at Delhi is so interesting and so significant for us that one can see all kinds of cheap politics that political parties can play with emotional and sensitive issues. The congress party which is a ruling party both at the state and the center and also as the party which invited all the recognized political parties of Andhra Pradesh for the meeting has no clear stand on Telangana. They try to make Telangana matter so complex and so never ending that they invite two members from each party so that they can fool people of both regions by expressing two different opinions which they think would please people from both the regions. The Congress party thinks that this is a great solution that they offer for the most intriguing problem. They think this is a great strategy that emerges out of the 120 years of long political experience of Congress. And they think that carry the legacy of Ambedkar and Indira Gandhi in decision making. The best part of the whole episode is Mr Shinde says he has casually convened the all party meeting to understand the issues and the views. Is he not aware of Chidambaram's dec 9th statement inside and outside parliament? Is he not aware of the Justice Shri Krishna's committee and its deep dive analysis and recommendations? Isn't the congress aware of public opinion that's expressed through various bypolls that happened in Telangana? Isnt the congress aware of the political stands of various political parties? Why should the Home Minister causally convene a meeting of such sort on such a sensitive issue for which thousands of youth have put their lives. If they are so serious in showing a solution, let them first have their stand clear before they ask for an opinion from other parties.
It's not just congress which plays this game of undermining the sentiments of people but its the same case with all major political parties including TRS which calls itself a party of people's movement. The TDP which played a spoiler role when Chidamabaramji aanounced the formation of Telangana, says that they too are in support of Telangana. What a joke? And it thinks that people are convinced with their stand. YSRCP, the party that emerged with altogether a different kind of ideology says they too respect the sentiments of people of Telangana people and they too would express an opinion respecting the sentiments of people of Telangana. Do the people of telangana forget that its president Jagan shouted slogans against Telangana with a placard opposing Telangana in the Lok Sabha. The TRS which believes that its the only party which has been with the people of Telangana all along the way says the meeting is useless. If it is so, what's the action plan that it has to achieve the goal? If the meeting is so useless, then why doesn't KCR register a strong protest with the central Government. Has he uttered at least a single word on the PM and Soniaji for their carelessness in resolving the issue?
Telangana by and large has become the matter of politicial convenience for all the major political parties of Andhra Pradesh including the TRS. Power may come and go, one may win and lose but in a democracy, the aspirations and the dreams of people occupies the highest position in the agenda of political parties is what the architect of our constitution, Dr Ambedkar said. He also said the constitution gives the full power to the parliament to act in accordance with the dreams of people. Neither the political parties nor the Parliament seems to do justice to the spirit of our constitution. If that's the case, I think its high time for people of Telangana, organisations and the leaders leading the movement to rethink their strategy. It's ime to think if they want to put political parties in forefront of the movement. Its time for them to look forward for an alternative parliament which can act. Then alone the long aspiration and dream of people of Telangana may get realized, Then alone the souls of hundreds of martyrs of the movement would rest in peace. Then alone a solution can emerge for the most intriguing problem that has paralyzed the whole state for last 3 years.
