All 165 MPs of NDA will support the Telangana bill : Gadkari

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Nitin Gadkari Tuesday said if the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government tables a bill in parliament for formation of a separate Telangana state, the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) would wholeheartedly support it.

Addressing a public meeting organized by the party at Adilabad, Gadkari assured people of Telangana that the NDA was with them in realizing their dream of a separate state.

‘I have come to assure you that all 165 MPs of NDA will support the bill on Telangana if Sonia Gandhi (Congress president) fulfils her promise by tabling the bill,’ he said.

The BJP chief warned the government against suppressing the Telangana movement by using paramilitary forces. ‘It is shameful that the government which failed to tackle terrorism has deployed paramilitary forces in Telangana to suppress peaceful agitation,’ he said.

Gadkari said if any force was used against the students and other protestors in Telangana, NDA would not allow parliament to function during the budget session.

The BJP leader said the fight for a separate state of Telangana was the fight for self-respect by four crore people of the region.

He promised that Telangana would be on the top of its agenda if NDA comes to power in the next elections.

He was confident that NDA would come to power in the 2014 elections and it would take up the Telangana state formation immediately.

He said Telangana was on top the agenda of the NDA meeting to be held Wednesday.

Gadkari described the Srikrishna committee as ‘time pass’ committee and said it was constituted by the government to drag the Telangana issue.

‘This is the reason the BJP has decided not to attend the eight-party meeting convened by the centre on Jan 6,’ he said.

The BJP held the public meeting two days before the centre is to make public the report of the Srikrishna committee.

HYDERABAD: Right to Information (RTI) activists in the city have filed a petition under the RTI Act with the ministry of home affairs at the Centre seeking to know the contents of the Srikrishna Committee report. Their stand? Well, citizens and not politicians should be the first to know about the committee's recommendations.

Activists have not only filed a petition but are also mobilising people from districts to do the same and have set a target of 200 RTI applications that they would mobilise. Ten RTI petitions have already been filed from Warangal alone. "We want them to share the contents of the committee recommendations with us before politicians get to look at it," said Rakesh Reddy Dubbudu, activist, who filed his application under the special clause listed under Section 7(1) of the RTI Act. According to the listed clause, any information which has the potential to affect lives and liberty of people at large, must be provided within 48 hours of the receipt of the request petition.

"The committee recommendations definitely concerns the life and liberty of the masses who have been actively involved in the movement. Therefore we, as citizens of the country, are better suited to get a copy of the submitted recommendations ahead of the politicians," said Dubbudu. If the activists do get a response to their petition in 48 hours (by Monday), they plan to circulate the content among the masses.

Filed with an objective to put to rest the speculations about the formation of a new state as is currently doing the rounds, this application can however be turned down by the PIO if he so decides. "If he thinks that this information does not hold enough ground, then it can be turned down, but the onus is on him to prove the same," said another RTI activist. Activists are hoping that the ministry's office will follow the RTI Act in letter and spirit and thereby furnish information under this special clause. Further, they argue that since the committee has worked with public money, it is then justified that people know what the contents of the report are.

RTI activists have also asked non-resident Indians to file similar applications in the Indian embassies located in their respective countries.

ఆగదు నా తెలంగాణ పోరు

ఆగదు నా తెలంగాణ పోరు
అణువణువునా అనిచేసినా ఆగదు నా తెలంగాణ పోరు
ప్రతి అడుగు తుడిచేసినా ఆగదు నా తెలంగాణ పోరు
అధికారం సుట్టుముట్టినా ఆగదు నా తెలంగాణ పోరు
అన్ని పార్టీలు మాట మార్చినా ఆగదు నా తెలంగాణ పోరు
ఆగదు నా తరం కోసం ఆగదు ఏ తరం కోసం
ఆగి ఆగి అంతరాత్మ అవిశిపోయింది
ఇన్నాళ్ళు ఆగిన ఆ గుండె బలం ఇప్పుడు
ఇంకింత జోరు అందుకుంది
ఆపకుండ పోరు సల్పినోడికి నా సలాం...
ఆపగలను అన్నోడికి నా సవాల్...
