  1. We should be united.

    1) How many CMs ruled AP from Telangana Region??
    Ans) Of all 15 CMs who ruled Andhra 4 Great CMs are from this region (PV, Jalagam, Chenna Reddy & Anjaiah)
    right Ans: No CM from T-region was allowed more than 2 years, in those 2 yrs ‘others’ created so much of controversies. Also, the ‘anti-defection’ act was not in force at that time, it was all threats of ‘ayarams’ ‘gayarams’ (this is popular term used by Indian media for leaders who were jumping between parties).

    2) Was there any PM from this region?
    Ans) Yes, One and only one great PM PV who saved India with Manmohan as Finance minister (Without majority, From South India – AP, from non-Gandhian family), I rank him higher than Nehru and Indira Gandhi (These two ruled India when they had majority and almost with no opposition)
    right Ans: PV was a statesman, a scholar. He is the man who is supposed to be a Global level leaders, please dont bring him to debate level. But if you want to know about PV here are some facts. PV was a student of OU at that time, he went to Andhra university once, he and his friends faced a humiliation and insults there… the same kind of ‘vetakaram’ ‘apahasyam’ ‘vekili’ you andhra people still do at telanganites now. Vexed with this attitude he could not live there for few weeks. Andhrites were treating Telangana elites (PV’s and his peer group were rich) as idiots with money in hands. He then proceeded to Nagpur university. This is fact …

    3) How many State and Central Ministers are from Telangana Region till date and what did they do with basic 1 Crore fund every year?
    Ans) Many and Many, We don’t have a Central Minister from any other region of Andhra Pradesh with cabinet rank in present cabinet, Jaipal Reddy is always there, KCR was also a central minister, Presently there are about 8-10 Ministers in state assembly from this region
    right Ans: Andhrites have money and mucle power with spread of ‘thier’ own people like octopus everywhere, it does not work out even if we have 80% of ministers because all officers and middle level people in admin have similar kind of andhra mind set. go to secretariat, its filled with 90% of andhrites … with a kind of venom and vengence against telanganites … if any MLA or MLC from telangana goes to get a work done … do you know how much resistance he faces ? If you dont know — its our ‘dowrbhagyam’.

    4) Why was Telangana not developed, Ask them and why did you vote for them?? KCR could have invested atleast 20% of NRI funds for Telangana region and they would have had drinking water in all the villages by now. He resigned many times and contested again and again to get his political mileage (How much would a re-election cost?? This could have been used for development)
    right Ans: No political leader is perfect … politics are of that nature. You are commenting about KCR as if all others are ’sri rama chandra murthys’. If you recollect how KCR was stabbed by our own telangana leaders from non-TRS plank … there are 1000s of them. I am talking about telangana in holistic sense .. i dont belong to TRS or KCR. I am talking about a CAUSE … not a person.

    5) How could he build a big Telangana Bhavan and register it in his name and where did he get the money from??
    right Ans: the same way a building can be constructed … stupid question.

    6) I am sure if at all Telangana is created KCR will overwrite the records of Madhu Khoda of Jharkhand, He will sell Hyderabad to neighboring states or Mafia
    Hope Telangana will not happen, If it has to happen it will have to be without head (Hyderabad) and may be Karimnagar will be their capital.
    right Ans: on the contrary … if andhrites were allowed to rule telanganan any further … they will eliminate entire ‘telangana jaati’ by killing 4 crore people. they will occupy all jobs, all roads, all buildings, all cities …. how is this answer my friend ?

    Finally answer these questions:
    Q1) If it happens, What are the natural resources of Telangana?? (just a small example: Is paddy/rice grown in Telangana sufficient for this region??)
    right Ans: this is a good question … the question is why natural resources of telangana are depleted ? entire Telangana canal irrigation is less than Guntur dist canal irrigation ! All small dams and culverts were purposely destroyed by Andhra rulers by not allowing a maintenance. Ex: Nizam sagar dam. The dam was supposed to be maintained by removing periodic ’siltation’ (if you dont know the terms – ask your civil engr friends). Funds were never allocated by the result now the dam has become useless – the ’silt’ is accumulated so much it cannot be recovered now … this is pathetic situation of Telangana. this is just an example of how and why Telangana is needed – we can cite 10000s like this examples.

    To answer your question again – Telangana was surplus state before merger …. with 60 crores of budget. (1949). Andhra when it is formed had minus budget .. andhra govt did not have any buildings or offices to run. In Kurnool andhra govt was running in rental rooms and tents … this is why they looked at Hyd … big city for buildings colleges, hospitals, roads etc. Also, Telangana has 20 lakh acres of cultivation land …. at that time. Now as of 2009 it has REDUCED to 11 lakhs …

    So, dont say that there are no natural resources … you will see in coming 10 yrs … miracle called Telangana.

    Q2) I am sure TRS/Telangana State will not be able to handle Hyderabad, It will be again a Nizam’s Rule and they will enjoy and remember their ancestor days, Yes that’s true preserve it for next generation take them to the days of their ancestors
    right Ans: Hyd state was in intact for 400 yrs without a single communal riot … hindu muslim were living there without any fight. This is now democracy govt with a central govt as a security guarantor…. you are a kid under block who dont know much and surfing net for fun. understand it.

  2. A big LIE called ‘potti sriramulu’s fast – here are the facts:

    People are being fooled by biased media by claiming
    that Late Sri Potti Sriramulu sacrified his life for the creation of
    Andhra Pradesh.

    Some of the facts about Andhra state & Sri Potti Sriramulu’s role
    are :

    1. Agitation for Andhra State: May 1913
    2. Dhar Commission, 1948: After Independence the ‘Constituent
    Assembly’ appointed Dhar Commission in June, 1948 to examine the issue
    of formation of linguistic states.
    3. The J.V.P. Committee: The J.V.P. Committee recommended for the
    creation of Andhra Province with undisputed Telugu areas. It also
    ‘advised the Andhras to give up their CLAIM on MADRAS city’.
    4. The Partition Committee Report:
    a) Madras should not be capital of Andhra Province even temporarily.
    b) Before 26th January Andhras should go to their own capital.
    c) Madras Government should give one crore rupees to Andhra for
    ‘renunciation’ of all offices kept in Madras.
    This report was accepted by the Madras Government and it decided to
    extend the date of formation of Andhra Province on 1st April, 1950

    5. Why Amarajeevi Potti Sriramulu fasted ???
    In the light of the above ‘facts and events’ we may now examine the
    OBJECT of the FAST undertaken by Amarajeevi Potti Sreeramulu. It is
    well known that Sri. Sreeramulu commenced his Fast-Unto-Death in
    Madras in the last week of October, 1952. The reasons for this Fast
    given in ‘his own words’ in several documents which were identified as
    his letters and Manifestoes issued before commencing his Fast. Some of
    his statements in these documents are cited below to appreciate his
    ‘object and feelings’ in the matter.
    (a) In his reply to Swamy Sitaram letter dated: 2-10-1952, he
    clarified about the object of his FAST. The relevant para is extracted
    below:
    “My Fast begins only for determining the future of Madras City”, he
    declared. “During my fast, people themselves will come to a
    decision….. My fast is intended to make the people and at least some
    Tamils in the City to agree to Madras becoming a separate State.
    Therefore if I leave the question of the City in doubt and undertake
    the fast, I shall be failing in my purpose and duty”.
    (b) He also issued Two Manifestoes before commencing the ‘fast’ on the
    following dates:
    (i) First Manifesto- 30-09-1952
    (ii) Final Manifesto- 19-10-1952
    (c) In his Manifestoes he stated that he wanted Madras City as the
    capital of Andhra State and he wanted to focus this issue by his Fast.
    In his Final Manifesto issued on 19-10-1952 he stated as under:
    “A very serious attempt has to be made to bring about an agreed
    settlement over the FUTURE of Madras City”. All reasonable Andhras and
    Tamils should be brought together and made to come to an ‘Agreement’
    over the Madras City COMMON to Andhras and Tamils.
    (d) In another letter dated: 13-9-1952 addressed to Sri. Bh.
    Laxminarayan, Advocate, Madras, he had described his “intense
    attachment to Madras City” in the following words:
    “I am doing this in the belief that all parts of the country can
    progress on peaceful lines. I was born and educated in Madras City. It
    is not my intention to coerce anybody. I have no hope that I shall
    survive unless this object is achieved. I am undertaking this fast in
    the belief that all those who are connected with this question will
    look at it in no narrow manner”.
    Formation of A.P — 1st Nov 1956.

  3. I agree with you about the fast of Potti Sriramulu insofar as he concentrated on getting Madras as capital city for Andhra. But there was nothing wrong in that demand since Madras was basically a Telugu village territory leased out to East India Company by Chandragiri Rajas. And Madras has always been the capital of modern Telugus and the national movement in Madras was mostly fought by Telugus and not Tamils. For example the Simon Go Back movement was mainly fought in Madras by Telugus and Prakasma Pantulu played a heroic part. At that time Telugu population in Madras was considerable – you may say not less than 40% and North Madras was more than 75% Telugu. So even a partition plan for Madras (North of Coovum river for Andhra, South of it to Tamils) had been mooted. So naturally there was bitter feeling – a nostalgia for Madras and even today considerable number of Telugus feel that nostalgia.
    Then regarding the breaking of Gentlemen’s Agreement by Andhras (N. Sanjeeva Reddy) – please read KV Ranga Reddy’s autobiography. He was a staunch supporter of Neelam Sanjeeva Reddy and his followers strongly canvassed for N. Sanjeeva Reddy and succeeded in defeating Bejawada Gopala Reddy so that Sanjeeva Reddy could become the first Chief Minister of AP. That fellow, who was Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra till 31 October 1956, the very next day after becoming CM refused to appoint KV Ranga Reddy as DCM though he allotted very important portfolios (Home and Revenue) to him. KV Ranga Reddy was pointedly asked by the press reporters about this reneging but this fellow was a staunch supporter of Sanjeeva Reddy – what could he do? He supported Sanjeeva Reddy’s reneging saying: “What shortage I have now as a [powerful] Minister? What is the use of Deputy CM appellation? It is like ‘angushth-e-seshum’ (sixth finger)”! And you see later in 1960 Damodaram Sanjeevaiah as CM made this very KV Ranga Reddy as Deputy CM and thereafter when defeated in 1962 General Elections (by Vandemataram Ramachandra Rao) KVRR had to and did resign from the ministry. So it is necessary to be more objective and less vitriolic in analysis and comments.
