AP Governor, a ‘thorn in the flesh’ of Telangana

Governor ESl Narasimhan is the real culprit of the fiasco in AP Assembly on 16th February.His autocratic machinations on behalf of Congress ‘adhishtanam’ for the last one year, ably helped by inept and callous andhra administration, have peaked into the imroglio that took place in the Assembly.The responsibility for lowering the dignity of his own office and Assembly squarely rests with the Governor and duly shared by the ineffective CM and Dy.Speaker.It is not the TRS and TDP, as alleged by the motivated andhra politicians and media.


Everybody knows the disposition of this Governor towards Telangana. From the day one he took office in AP,he was indulging in overt and covert actions in trying to stifle ‘Telangana Struggle’. His extraordinary interest in Law and Order,the matters related to students in Telangana Universities, his role in getting more than 20000 Central forces to deploy in Telangana and his obvious support to anti-Telangana all andhra administration, speaks volumes of his animosity towards Telangana.By now it is abundantly clear that Mr.Narasimhan had provided ‘dasha-disha’ to the infamous SKC Report on Telangana, which is proved to be a ‘bundle of half-truths and blatant lies’.All these activities give undeniable credence to the contention that he is a deliberate plant by Congress ‘adhishtanam’ in cohort with ‘andhra money mafia’ to smother Telangana Struggle and extinguish it if possible.


The happenings in the Assembly on 16th February are the climactic results of the scheming of Governor and CM in dealing with Telangana issue. As usual ugly intensions end in ugly consequences and invariably boomerang on the perpetrators.The behavior of Governor and the maneuvres of CM and Dy.Speaker paved the way for the unseemly happenings in the Assembly.


1. When TRS has already given notice to oppose Governor’s speech, if it does not contain reference to Telangana, the CM could have talked to them democratically and amicably persuaded them to cooperte, instead of treating them as un-touchables.


2. If the TRS did not agree, a brief mention of the cintentious issue of Telangana in Governor’s Report as to, that the issue is in the consideration of Cetral Government would have not caused any catastrophe and is not outside the gamut of democratic traditions.A diplomatic appeal to all the concerned to cooperate, would have mollified the feelings of agitating legislators to a large extent and certainly would have not ended in the ugly fiasco.

3.Instead, both Governor and CM have behaved in a manner that mentioning ‘Telangana’ in the speech tantamounts to ‘blasphemy to God’. This attitude, added to their earlier despotic doings in relation to Telangana Struggle have added the fuel to the fire.


4. The undignified behavior of the Governor on that day is very paradoxical.Where was the necessity for him to come through 2nd gate instead if the main gate and flee through the same gate after his bizarre speech? If his cohort the CM can not ensure a dignified entry into or exit from the Assembly for the Governor, what does it indicate? Except that the raison d’etre for the fiasco, rests with these scheming officials..


5. The way Governor was reading his speech in the pandemonium, while his mike was broken and he was jostled around, made a very pathetic spectacle of the institution of Governor.There was no need to make the speech in such weird circumstances. The Governor has read the speech here and there, just to complete the formality and as if his dear life is depended on finishing it. After the speech came the most disgraceful moment, when Governor has uttered the un-parliamentary words of ‘you b******s, get lost! Can any body lower the dignity of Governor on the podium of Assembly more than this? It could be the worst moment in the history of the Assembly.


Therefore by any standard Governor is solely responsible for throwing the dignity of Governor Post to its abysmal depths.The CM and Dy.Speaker have aided him with their inept handling of the situation. Both of them have no right to continue in their positions after this ignominous happening in the Assembly.They have no right to punish any body for their own miserable failure.The Assembly should protest and ensure their ouster.
Now it should be the primary responsibilty of Telangana legislators to account this Governor, for his un-parliamentary words against them.

There is need to examine the avenues of prosecution against him for this fauxpas. There will not be any respite to Telangana if this scheming Governor continues in A.P.Telangana people should target him for all of his anti-Telangana activities and hound him out of the state.He has become an excruciatingly painful ‘thorn in the flesh’ of Telangana.
