JP choose back door to avoid Bay-Area Telanganites’ questions

Mokamu chatesina JP…  Doddi daarina vachina vainam…

“JP ki Telangana lo ney kaadu, America lo kuda thiragaleni paristhithi. Sunnyvale, California meeting lo JP doddi daarinaa meeting hall ki vellalsi vachindi. Telangana vaadulu vandala sankyalo JP gari ki protest gaa main entrance lo placard lu flyer la tho meeting guest lani ahvanicharu”

San Francisco Bay Area Telangana NRI’s  gathered in large number to protest against Jayaprakash Narayan of Loksatta. JP was in US for fund raising and to propagate rejuvenate India, As part of the tour JP visited bay area and the meeting was held in Sunnyvale in  Sunnyvale Hindu Temple on May 23, 2010 . Bay Area Telangana people strongly protested against JP for his statement that “There is no organized discrimination in AP”  which was made in Washington DC  .  Bay Area Telangana NRI’s have urged Dr. JP to stand by his principles of the “change in politics” and decentralization of the administration.    They have asked Dr. JP not to distort the TRUTH by mimicking the statistics with percentages, as opposed to facts under influence of system and organized/privileged section of the society as once a great British statesman and former Prime Minister George Canning said “I can prove anything by statistics except the TRUTH”.

Bay Area Telangana NRI’s peacefully presented few examples of organized discrimination in the form of pamphlet and posters to all audiences that have attended fund-raising event hosted by Loksatta party under the banner of “rejuvenating India”.  And, they have demanded Dr. JP to come out clean on Telangana without being influenced by Money, Power and Caste based politics. It was a strong belief in the educated youth that Dr. JP stood for principles’, when he lead the non-profit organization, Now that belief has been quickly eroding once he has been elected as people’s representative. It is for everyone’s dismay that Dr. JP has become yet another drop in the ocean of the political deception. Bay Area Telangana NRI’s urged him to give up his political ambitions in favor of social service to the downtrodden, economically poor, segregated section of the society.

Bay Area Telangana NRI’s have posted the following queries to Dr. JP on his comment about “There is NO organized discrimination in the AP”

1)  JP’s statement on 610 G.O. as published on http://news.loksatta.org  :”Have traditional parties been interested in addressing the issue of regional imbalances, they would have constituted the State Planning Board as part of the Six-Point Plan and sincerely implemented G. O. No. 610.”.

For the above JP intelligently shies away with  a simple statement that its a “Poor Governance”. But Bay Area Telangana NRI’s argue that this poor governance is happening consistently and repeatedly for last 53 years and its effecting one region (Telangana) all the time and that this poor governance has all the characteristics of a regional discrimination. Bay Area Telangana NRI’s challenged him, Isn’t what you said a case of organized discrimination? If not, why you have emphasized ? Why is this hypocrisy?

2) Telangana liberation struggles has not noted in the literature and text books. Isn’t this an organized discrimination?

3) Shri. Potti Sriramulu has been portrayed as father of AP while he had fought for “Madras Manede” and Andhra separation from Madras Presidency. At the same time Telangana liberation leaders weren’t mentioned anywhere. Isn’t that an example of organized discrimination?

4) Yogi Vemana University (Kadapa) has been allocated 343 cores while 5 Universities in Telangana have been allocated meager 27 cores. Isn’t this a case of step-mother treatment? Isn’t this an example of organized discrimination?

5) Erstwhile Hyderabad state planned Irrigation projects have been shelved and all the funding from Telangana land sales has been diverted to Seema-Andhra projects. Isn’t this an example of organized discrimination?

6) While SLBC irrigation project development taking a tortoise walk while Pottireddypadu project has been flying with high colors (in violation of  water distribution by bhachawat tribunal). Isn’t this an example of organized discrimination?

7) GO 610 (Andhra employees in Telangana) hasn’t implemented yet even after 25 years while GO 564 (Telangana employees in Andhra) has been successfully implemented within 3 months by Dr. JP (Chief Secretary of AP) . Why is that hypocrisy? Isn’t this an example of organized discrimination?

8) Telangana farmers’ have been given Rs. 22 per liter for milk while Andhra farmers’ have been given Rs. 24 per liter. Isn’t this an example of organized discrimination?

9) There are 74 Govt Degree colleges in the Telangana (10 dists) while Rayalseema (4 dists) has 70 and Andhra (9 dists) has 166 per 2002-2003 Govt of AP data. Why is this uneven distribution of funds? Isn’t this an example of organized discrimination?

10) Andhra capitalist owned offices/companies only preferred their kith n kin and not considered Telangana youth for employment in their companies, Instead, same job positions were published in their local regional additions, Is this not regional based organised discrimination?

11) In the Telugu films, Telangana people have been portrayed as villians, clowns, but never a protagonist, Is this not  language and cultural based organised discrimination.

Bay Area Telangana NRI’s have urged Dr. JP that we are all for decentralization of the administration to the district level governments and let’s start that journey by creating focus of development on 10 districts by demerging Telangana out of 23 districts of AP, then we can look forward to further steps as necessary for decentralization. Decentralization is a journey hence let’s walks before we run on this journey so everyone in the society are prepared and we can achieve our end goals without hurdles and also urged him to focus on local and regional issues before rejuvenating India.

Dr. JP couldn’t face the trail of strength by Bay Area Telangana NRI’s and couldn’t take their challenge for presenting the facts to his statement hence he has taken backdoor entry to podium. This itself proves that, he could not able to answer to any  of the questions and avoided all Telangana issues like any other politicians with double standards. Bay-Area Telanganites demanded JP not to hurt the sentiments of any particular region in the near future.
