Telangana - Now or Never by 2014

Thousands of lives lost . Lakhs of families affected. Crores of money spent. At last nothing has come out from the poilicitians on Telangana.

With the Congress battling allies, Anna Hazare team and its own folks .. it is unlikely Telangana will be formed anytime before 2014 elections.

Come Parliament elections, Congress will realize the importance of  '17 MPs' and might try to align with TRS / YSR cong to get the Seats.

What should be the reaction of Telangana people? Should they vote again for Congress?

Narasimha Temple - Bidar (Karnataka)

How to go to Zara Narashimha Temple, Bidar.

Narasimha Jhira/Zara Water Cave Temple enshrines the powerful deity Lord Narasimha on the wall at the end of a cave. Better to go with Towels as Men are allowed inside with Towels only. There is a natural spring inside and you need to wade through the water and at the end Lord Narasimha's darshan awaits you.

The temple is ten minutes drive from the busstand and there are lot of autos to take you there. This is a cave temple.

there is also a Rama temple and a small bathing area opposite to that. It is a good time pass for the locals.

Many villagers from Maharashtra, Karnataka visit these temple.

The temple closes early so plan for it

Should KCR go to Andhra region

Off-late TRS supremo KCR is in touch with Jai Andhra leaders and supporting their movement for separate Andhra. KCR is also expected to participate in a meeting in Vijaywada. Is it necessary? Voice your views

Congress Flip-Flop on Telangana - Resigns from JAC

Congress has done yet another Flip-Flop on Telangana - Resigns from JAC and wants to put the agitation in backstage.

It is time for Students, Intellectuals and NRI to tread a non-political path to achieve Telangana. If not there will not be any state called Telangana in the next millennium

Software Industry Prefers Telangana!!!

Most of the Software companies operating out of Hyderabad wanted the Telangana issue to settle soon as they are most affected by bandhs and 'counter-bandhs' of the political parties.

With Telangana becoming a reality, the Software majors wanted the centre to declare Hyderabad as part of Telanagana so that work can go on without disturbance

Advantage Telangana!

Less Tax More Profit!
The IT majors in Hyderabad are of the opinion that they would get Tax sops similar to Uttarkand when Telangana is formed. They have also met some Telangana national leaders backdoor and were assured of full support for enhancing the services

Less Land Rates More Gain!
The Industrialists were also briefed by Telangana leaders that the exorbitant rates in hyderabad will be tamed down to suit the best for industry.

All in all it is win-win situation for industry if Telangana is formed!

BJP the only party with a clear policy on Telangana

Andhra Pradesh citizens are watching a drama before them enacted by the politicians. TDP, Congress, PRP etc supported separate Telangana in the Assembly elections and confirmed the same when asked by Chief Minister days before the centre spelt out its verdict on Telangana. Once the home Minister statement came out , all these parties started fighting for ‘united Andhra’. Why this flip flop happened? Is it to entertain the Andhra audience with some passion and emotion.

Bharatiya Janatha Party (BJP) on the other hand were clear from the very beginning on the formation of Telangana.

Telangana Demonstration - AP Vehicles number plate changed

Pro-telangana youth were demanding the vehicle owners to use Telangana Number Plate.

They had some paper with the letters 'TG' on it and they superimposed 'AP' with 'TG' in the cars and two-wheelers that passed the Suryapet-Hyderabad route.

Traffic police on the way were not at all bemused at the 'TG' number plate as the vehicles passed them

Organizations supporting separate Telangana

Andhra Pradesh Backward Classes Welfare Association (APBCWA) president R Krishnaiah and State BC Youth president J Srinivas Goud demanded that AICC president and UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi invite TRS chief K Chandrasekhar Rao for discussions.

BJP state president B Dattatreaya, demanding that the Central and State governments pass a resolution on formation of Telangana State, also urged his party cadres to make the 48-hour Telangana bandh a success.

Andhra Pradesh Teacher’s Federation (APTF) Hyderabad district unit president S Rammachandraiah and general secretary M Ravindar said the State Government would be held responsible if anything happened to the TRS leader who has been fasting for the last seven days.

All-India Students Federation (AISF) State unit president K Srujana Kumar condemned the lathicharge in Warangal on students protesting peacefully.

The Akhil Bhartiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) leadership has extended its support to the 48-hour bandh call given by the TRS leadership. They urged all sections of society to support the call.

They also demanded that all Congress MLAs hailing from the Telangana region resign because they had failed to convince their leadership about the need for statehood. The Greater Hyderabad Truck, Mini- Truck, Local, Lorry, Trailer and Tax /Maxi CabOwners Coordination Committee has decided to take part in the Telangana bandh.

Committee leaders Mohd Amanulla Khan, K Rajeshwar Rao and Md Muqtar said Chandrasekhar Rao’s health was deteriorating alarmingly and it was high time statehood was conceded.

KCR refuses to meet Congress Ministers

A group of ministers belonging to Telangana region Sunday called on KCR at NIMS. He, however, refused to talk to them saying he would speak to only those who can take a decision on the issue.

With TRS cadres and students mounting pressure on public representatives of the Congress party by laying siege to their houses, the central leadership of the party is also coming under pressure to take a clear stand on Telangana.

KCR's indefinite fast continues - Health deteriorating

Telangana champion KCR's health is deteriorating after his fast entered sixth day. He has refused to accept any food given by the doctors even after repeated advise that it will lead even to his death.

Chances of his condition worsening might trigger a strong unrest in Telangana

Good Hotel on Hyderabad - Warrangal Highway

We found one good restaurant - Vivera on the Hyderabad - Warrangal highway. This is a vegetarian restaurant with good taste and service.

This is five minutes drive from Bhongir on the way to Warrangal.

Is Telangana dead?

Is Congress victory in AP an end to the Telangana statehood?

Personally, I feel the sentiment is still alive and most of people in Telangana want a separate state. The alliance of TRS with TDP irked many voters and they turned away from TRS.

TRS should have ideally aligned with the BJP, which stood by the cause of a separate state.

Should BJP included in Maha-Telangana-Coalition

The announcement of an electoral tie-up between the TDP and the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) has come as a blow to the BJP, which was trying hard to get the TRS as an electoral ally and a partner in the National Democratic Alliance.

To help the TRS make up its mind, two senior BJP leaders, president Rajnath Singh and prime ministerial candidate L.K. Advani, had announced the party’s commitment to creating a separate Telangana state.

Mr. Singh had also pointed out that the BJP was the “only national party” that had made such a commitment.

This point was emphasised by party spokesperson Prakash Javadekar here on Friday.

Should a national party like BJP included in the maha coalition?

Telangana a Foster Child of Andhra Pradesh

Telangana was never part of Andhra Pradesh. Right from Vizianagaram empire till the Madras presidency. It has its own people, culture and the development agenda





As the curtains come down for the bifurcation, let us wish that Telangana will prosper leaps and bounds as per the ambition of its people

Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) Deadline for Telangana formation

Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) on Wednesday set a deadline till March 6 for a formal commitment on statehood for Telangana by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, failing which, it said, it would ask four party MPs, 16 MLAs and three MLCs to resign.

The TRS chose March 6 for resignations en masse as the party wanted to utilise the budget sessions of Parliament and Assembly to focus the seriousness of the action. Thereby, the party also wanted to give a 50-day leeway to the UPA Government to take steps, TRS president K. Chandrasekhar Rao told a news conference here.

Mr. Rao said the TRS decided on resignations as a matter of warning to the Government that it would be forcing elections on people which could spell doom to the ruling Congress. Moreover, the move was aimed to mount pressure on the Government to concede the demand during the budget session which was the last opportunity available for it in the current term of Parliament.

Beyond the session, the issue could not be settled due to constraints of time.

He added that the composition of the present Parliament was ideally suited for creation of separate Telangana as over two-thirds of parties supported the demand in writing.

Chinmaya Dhyana Nilayam

Set at Kundanbagh, Begumpet perched on a top of a small hillock, a remarkable, pleasing and captivating construction, of Chinmaya Dhyana Nilayam, a design approved by Pujya Gurudev Himself. Sandeepany Kailash is expected to become a famous land mark in the twin cities of Hyderabad - Secunderabad. The building itself is in the form of Lord Shiva, the formless, absolute reality, which is the nature of pure consciousness.

Inside, a beautifully carved marble Murti of Lord Shiva, Lord of the Universe, the Creator, the Sustainer and Destroyer and whose presense transforms the body into a beautiful and holy thing, has been installed and consecrated on Mahashivaratri Day, the 14th February 1999 by Pujya Swami Tejomayanandaji, amidst the blowing of conch shell and the resounding reverberation of the chanting of OM NAMAH SHIVAYA. The Kumbhabhishekam was performed by thousands of devotees.

Sandeepany Kailsh has come to stay and bless the world around.
