Hurried Adventure of Telangana Opened Pandora Box of Woes for India

It is shameless adventure the national party Congress has made by rushing through in last hour the Telangana announcement  on forming the new state for electoral gains, while ignoring the biggest mass movements in recent history. It has opened a Pandora box of woes for the safety, security and welfare of India and their people.  A timely approach and resolve of these burning issues would have met the aspirations of not only Telugu people, but many other regional communities in other parts of India.

But a inordinate delay of undecisive Congress leadership has made serious act of gross negligence and the last minute hurry on Telangana has thrown the ideological theme of national integrity and consensus to backwards and opened the gate of agitation, threat, intimidation tactics to the forefront. It is only because of the cheap but unwise, indecisive, untimely decisions and because of beyond tolerance delaying practice to gain  more through electoral politics; the Ruling Congress party had been playing for long. The people must ask when every thing could have been managed in last five years of Congress rule with proper negotiation between the concerned groups with better harmony, why the leadership has waited so long and what has changed since 2009 to this last part of 2013 for taking this decision now.

Leader of the Opposition in Rajya Sabha BJP. MP. Jaitley has observed reasonably  in saying,“The movement for Telangana has been one of the biggest mass movements in India in recent history. This movement has sustained itself for a long time. Government should have responded to it well in advance,” .

A last minute decision, to benefit in next election, had opened the Pandora Box with at least seven  agitations namely *Gorkhaland in West Bengal, *Bodoland in Assam, *Karbi Anglong again in hills of Assam, *Koch-Rajbongashis, *Dimaasas communities also in vast Assam, *Garos in Meghalay, tribal (*IPFT) in Tripura and many others have started mass agitation putting the life in major parts of North East states and part of Bengal on fire with in indefinite strike and bandh, aroson, crippling of train and highway routes virtually cutting these areas from rest of India.

All this could have avoided if the Ruling Congress leaders had the vision of handling our great nation of such a big  diversity and with differing needs and ambitions. But very sad, these rulers of India for almost one full decade have neither vision nor time to look into the problems of people from independent angles, away from cheap electoral politics. And for this the nation and the innocent people have to pay the price. 

One thing is for Sure this LIMPING AND DUMB Government and its controlling leadership will not be able to solve any of these problems in its lifetime, without burning the fingers of themselves as well without jeopardising and compromising with national interest.




India May Soon Be Divided in Fifty Small States

India may soon be divided in at least fifty small states if the demands coming from different sections of people and political parties views are accepted.

BSP supremo Mayawati  reiterated her demand of dividing Uttar Pradesh into four parts into four smaller units: Purvanchal, Bundelkhand, Awadh Pradesh and Paschim Pradesh.The Samajwadi Party also launched an attack on Mayawati's proposal and stated that it was against any division of the State.SP general secretary Khushwaha said, "Mayawati is not a strong enough leader to rule over a state as big as UP, so she is trying to divide it into small parts. We are against it. We do not believe in dividing the country any further,".

Union Minister and RLD national chief Ajit Singh said its demand for Harit Pradesh will also be met before the coming Lok Sabha elections, saying,"For Harit Pradesh, united efforts and consistent struggle is required. We however hope that Harit Pradesh will become a reality before (2014) Lok Sabha elections," and called upon people to get ready for an agitation for Harit Pradesh.

Another Congress Union Minister Jairam Ramesh also wants UP be divided in more parts, as he says," Purely from an administrative point of view, a state of over 20 crores people, 72 districts and over 800 blocks ....it is just not governable,".

Sobha De, the noted writer tweeted, "Maharashtra and Mumbai??? Why not? Mumbai has always fancied itself as an independent entity, anyway. This game has countless possibilities".

Gorkha Janmukti Morcha  fighting for a Gorkhaland state, had intensified their stir in Darjeeling hills area with indefinite strike demanding Gorakhaland in West Bengal. The GJM  has allowed next two days to enable  students and  tourists to leave. GJM chief Bimal Gurung had resigned as chief executive of the Gorkha Territorial Administration. While at the same time nearby areas have asked for Greater Coochbihar.

In Assam, violence erupted in support of a Karbi Anglong state with attacks on the houses of Congress leaders and  party office, at the same time the demand of Bodoland  resurfacing forcefully, with Bodoland  supporters announcing a rally in Kokrajhar .

MORE DEMANDS WILL BE SOON POURING IN FROM : new unheard regions including say  JAMMU.

The movement for Vidarbha got a new fillip as more Congress leaders urged the party’s leadership to cede the demand since its case was ‘older and stronger’ than Telangana. BJP has supported creation of Vidarbha on the grounds that it favoured smaller States, though the ally Shiv Sena has opposed the demand.
