Sabko Apni hi Kisi Baat Pe Rona Aaya

The recent developments after the launch of ‘civil disobedience’ in the region are worrying the citizens but not the ruling clans and the ‘public representatives’. There are about 2.5 lakh government employees participating in the movement across the region while sparing the emergency services. Lakhs of students in the campaign bringing everything in the region to shutdown, there are miners sitting underground in the mines to mark their protest and force the country’s leadership to take a final decision on the formation of Telangana state.  The production of everything came down, if the non cooperation continues for another few days with its expansion plans, the employees of water supply, municipal corps. Electricity and other necessary services dept. joining the stir, then imagine the situation. The billions of rupees revenue losses occurred in the past 10 days or so cannot be recovered. There are efforts to convince the employees to call off the movement, there are threats of ‘no work-no pay’ or invoking of esma etc. but there is no attempt of addressing the root cause of the movement. Using excessive force against the agitators is the only remedy found by the govt. the behaviour of Congress leaders from Telangana on the current situation in the region reminds me of a scene from an old Bollywood movie where a person was playing rummy or sort of gambling in a club and he gets the news via telephone that his mother had passed away, then a bartender brings a black cloth strip and ties on his arm indicating that he is in sorrow. The guy won’t leave the club but continues gambling.
The ONLY thick skin people are the legislatures of Andhra Pradesh and the Parliamentarians who are just ignoring this burning issue and pretend all is well in the region. They are in power and want to enjoy the facilities on the taxpayers’ money. In the last 6 decades we have been ignored treated like a second grade citizen, agitations brought only miseries nothing else, why this is happening in the largest democracy of the world? Why the burning issues being ignored? Are Telanganites uglier than Seemandhrites? Aren’t we citizens of India? Why the entire leadership is interested in pleasing a few realtors and politicians who are from a particular region at the cost of Telanganites? Why the country’s leadership is reluctant in taking any decision on the T issue? The silence of the intellectuals on this issue is alarming, the history witnessed many a nations’ extinct just because learned people of the nation didn’t raise their voice against the wrong policies of the rulers. We Telanganites are about 3% of the total Indian population and almost 50% of the state population, how come our demand is not legitimate?
My dear leaders and all those opposing the formation of Telangana and living in Hyderabad City, may I remind you that once the people working in emergency services will be included in the movement to bring the administration to further standstill, then those living in big cities may have to buy ‘diapers’ for their nature calls as their will be no water, no electricity, no garbage collector you only wakeup with a NO and eat a NO drink a NO and sleep with a NO. Though you people are elected persons, but you are relying more and more on the security forces, imagine, today or tomorrow may be Telangana JAC for Police will come forward and join hands with T agitators, where the leaders will go then?
As reported in the local media, the Chief Justice of AP High Court has told the agitating lawyers not to disrupt the courts and cooperate running the day to day business, what a misery? The courts take suo moto actions on important issues, the formation of a separate state may be a political decision and should be taken by the legislative bodies, but can’t the courts ask the governments to address the issue at the earliest to bring normalcy in the region?
The deputy speaker of state assembly is happy in suspending the MLAs to make smooth way for the ministers to readout speeches written by their secretaries (honestly the reader ((minister)) doesn’t know what is written in the speech), after a few days the budget will also be passed out by the assembly ignoring everybody as the ruling party has a majority in the house. What a mechanical world we are living in? No importance to any issue any problem faced by the common man only you get a majority and whatever as you please and you are always right, and all this is done by the government elected by the people for the people to the people.
The central and state leadership has utterly failed in addressing the issues related to people of the region. The current incumbents as PM, HM, CM and others are exposing themselves to be worst dictators than of Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Yemen.
The behaviour of the leaders, police officers, judiciary and other authorities towards the current burning issue reminded me of a famous song of Bollywood, ‘kaun rota hai kisi aur ki khatir ae dost, sab ko apni hi kisi baat pe rona aaya’.
My dear leaders we are not asking you people to step down, we are asking you to address the issues related to the people. If you fail in doing so very soon you might be asked to step down and that will be more difficult for you to control. Wake up, read the writings of the wall, otherwise you will be buried and a wall erected on your grave will read ‘here is resting a leader who didn’t listen to the pleas of his people and……..’.
