Telangana Rashtra Samithi plenary to focus on elections, Telangana movement to be fragmented
HYDERABAD: Telangana movement is poised to be fragmented what with the political parties fighting for a separate statehood for the region focusing on their own electoral strategies in a poll-bound state, and a two-day plenary session of the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) starting on Tuesday is likely to be centered on preparing the party for the upcoming elections including the polls for local bodies. The TRS will also chalk out plans for taking forward the movement, while the other stake holders in including Telangana Political Joint Action Committee (T-JAC) have decided to go separately.
"In the prevailing political situation where the general elections are nearing, it would be impractical to expect the political parties coming together to fight a common cause be it Telangana or other people related issues. So, the TRS will figure out ways and means, in the plenary, to strengthen the organizational structure and prepare for fighting the elections as well as taking forward the Telangana movement without the involvement of the other political parties," said D Sravan, a politburo member of TRS.
While the plenary convened in Karimnagar would be a brainstorming, the party chief K Chandrashekar Rao is expected to explain his pursuits for Telangana during his a month-long Delhi sojourn between September 5 and October 3 when he claimed to have held talks with the Congress top brass, and how the ruling UPA let him down. While assessing the political situation at the state and national level, KCR is expected convince the party leaders participating in the meeting those include state committee members, politburo members, MLAs, and MPs on TRS going all alone to take forward the T-movement.
Sounding a similar sentiment, a T-JAC leader said the joint action committee would launch a separate agitation. "In the interest of the movement, it is better that T-JAC's programmes be free of political affiliations. So, we are launching a separate agitation, while the political parties are going ahead with their own plans," said V Srinivas Goud, a co-convener of T-JAC. Focusing on December 9, the day on the then union home minister P Chidambaram had made a statement on Telangana in 2009, the T-JAC is chalking out plans re-launch the agitation.
The other stake holders of Tealangana including BJP, CPI, and a senior Independent legislator Nagam Janardan Reddy are into separate plans. While the BJP is planning a tour programme on the lines of 'Telangana Poru Yatra' under taken by G Kishan Reddy, state president of the party, in Januvary this year, Nagam is planning to embark on his own programme to reach out the mass and he would start his tour on November 23 naming it 'Telangana Bharosa Yatra'. CPI is meeting on November 10 to chart out the plans for the agitation, while the state secretary of the party K Narayana had taken out a Yatra in Telangana in July this year.
As the party is looking at re-launching the movement is big way, the TRS is organizing a public rally on November 23 in Suryapet in Nalgonda district and a series of programmes are to follow. On November 29, the party activists will stage hunger strike across Telangana and KCR will launch his tour programme on the day naming it 'Palle Bata'. And the party is mulling to give a bandh call on December 9.
