Today HMTV conducted "Dasa Disa" speech on the Telangana issue in Nellore. The meeting was attended by both "Jai Andhra" and "Samaikyandhra" people. The first few speakers were from BJP who spoke for dividing the state. Then the senior leader Somireddy Chandramohan Reddy's turn came. His speech has been divided into various parts.

DEMOCRACY COMPARISON IN ANDHRA & TELANGANA
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He reminded how the Andhra people allowed the BJP leaders who wanted separate Andhra state speak without any hindrance. He reminded that this is real democracy unlike the Telangana region, where if anyone spoke for United AP, then he would be trashed by the TRS goons. "This itself shows that there is democracy in Andhra but not in Telangana" he said.

The Telangana crisis has created a major dent in the progress of Andhra Pradesh and it has also affected the day to day lives of many people. Top in that list is the IT industry and here is the reason why. Reports have been arriving from those working in the IT sector that their clients are aware of the chaos being caused here and so, they have begun to shift their projects to cities like Chennai and Bangalore.

Now, many employees who have their families along with children are being asked to move along with the project. At this point of year and that too with growing children, it is definitely a major problem for them. They are cursing the TRS party and other pro- Telangana leaders for making a mess of their lives as they don't even know when this issue will be resolved and how long they have to stay away from their loved ones.

After Kavuri made the pungent remarks against the Telangana movement by claiming that the movement is run by Maoists and Anti Social elements it is the turn of another Congress leader, Anam Vivekananda Reddy to turn his guns on the Telangana movement.

Anam alleged that the Telangana JAC is dominated by two groups. One belonging to the TRS party members and another that of Maoists and their sympathizers. He claimed that if Telangana separates then the new state would be run over by Maoists it would become a virtual hell. He appealed to the Telangana people not to fall into the trap of the TRS party.

He also claimed that there are now very few Congress leaders in the Telangana JAC and even those few leaders would quit the JAC in few days.

KCR's nephew and TRS leader Harish Rao has come down on the PRP president Chiranjeevi.

Chiranjeevi has recently said in an interview that the majority of the Telangana people are against the bifurcation of the state and also said that the Telangana people would welcome him with open arms in he tours Telangana and would affectionately serve him Telangana food items.

Clearly miffed by the regular statements by Chiranjeevi and Mohan Babu, the TRS leader Harish Rao has sarcastically said that the Telangana people would not serve Annam (food) to Chiraneevi but Sunnam (white wash powder).

Telangana leaders allege "Phone Tapping"

The Telangana leaders have alleged that the police along with the some government are actively tapping their phone lines. Speaking to the media today, the senior Congress leader and MP, Madhu Yashki Goud has alleged that the police are tapping their lines to know about their plans.

Citing an example, he said that recently they planned a dharna at a place in Hyderabad. Bu the police reached the place before them. He said that this can happen only if the police are actively tapping their phone lines.

KCR To Be Made Central Cabinet Minister?

The Central UPA government is seriously considering to induct KCR into the Union ministry. According to the hints given by the UPA government, the induction of KCR into the ministry serves two purposes. KCR can be reigned in for the time being and temporarily keep him away from the Andhra Pradesh politics. Another advantage is that the peace can be restored in Andhra Pradesh for the time being and give more space for the CM Rosaiah to concentrate on the administrative affairs.

But some Congress leaders are apprehensive of inducting him in the Central cabinet. Already Sonia Gandhi and Manmohan Singh had enough headaches regarding the Telangana issue.

If I were the home minister here is how I would conduct business in tomorrow’s meeting.

In view of the meeting on Telangana with eight Political parties on Jan 5th, coordinated by Home ministry, Mr Chidambaram, can someone forward this to him before tomorrow’s meeting, else publish this in some website/news forum/publish in a newspaper/read out in a TV News channel either English or Telugu.

I. Opening statement:

Last Minute Hectic Discussions on "Telangana" In New Delhi

Hectic consultations were held involving Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his cabinet colleagues on the eve of the all-party conference on Telangana issue in Delhi on Tuesday as TRS chief K Chandrasekhar Rao demanded an immediate Parliament law to facilitate formation of a separate state.

Singh discussed issue with senior colleagues Pranab Mukherjee (Finance), P Chidambaram (Home), A K Antony (Defence) and Veerappa Moily (Law) on the strategy for Tuesday's meeting convened by the Home Minister.

KCR Daughter's Mindless Talk

KCR's daughter is making confusing statements these days. It is well known that KCR and his family spit fire on Chiranjeevi and Mohan Babu's family for their support to the United Andhra Pradesh. KCR and the TRS people asked the film personalities to not to get into politics. They asked the film personalities to mind their own work but not the politics relating to Telangana or United Andhra Pradesh

But yesterday and today Kavitha, the daughter of KCR has wondered how the film personalities, who have been in Hyderabad since long time didn't come out in support of Telangana. This has taken many people by surprise. Andhra leaders wonder whether it is OK for the film personalities to support Telangana agitation but not Samaikya Andhra agitation.
