Therefore, further consultation should be avoided and the Centre must announce its decision on the Telangana issue.

telangana Nagara president Nagam Janardhan Reddy on Friday made it clear that he would not join any political party including telangana Rashtra Samithi. Talking to media persons, Nagam said that he would continue his agitation until the Centre grants statehood for the telangana region. Stating that the formation of telangana was not possible with one party, he appealed to leaders of political parties to make joint efforts towards mounting pressure on the Centre to achieve their goal. However, stating that telangana state not possible with telangana Rashtra Samithi, he predicted that TRS would merge in the Congress soon on the lines of Praja Rajyam Party. “My prime goal is achieving telangana state, the long-pending dream of people. The agitation is not the property of anyone. I will continue my fight till statehood is achieved,” he stated. "If people of region wish for establishing party, I will float a new party," he said. Meanwhile, rumours are doing the rounds that Nagara members Jogu Ramanna and Venugopala Chary might join the TRS soon.

political circles in Andhra Pradesh are abuzz with whispers over the AICC High Command’s summons to State Governor ESL Narasimhan. It is pointed out that there is more to it than meets the eye. The Governor has ostensibly been called to New Delhi for a first-hand feedback from the horse’s mouth with regard to the volatile situation that prevails in the ten districts of Telangana region, including Hyderabad. It is believed that by calling him a day ahead of Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy, the party bosses want to send the message loud and clear-there would be nothing honky dory hereafter. Driven to a Catch-22 situation, the Congress high command is in no position to initiate disciplinary charges against errant party leaders, who have been defying the diktat time and again. The fear stems from the fact that Andhra Pradesh sends the maximum party members (33) to the Lok Sabha. Veteran Congress leaders from the State have been cautioning the high command that rubbing the defiant leaders on the wrong side would be nothing short of political suicide. Ironically, several Congress MPs have refused to toe the party line and have shunned crucial Parliament sessions, despite whip-like messages. The party Legislators have been playing hide-and-seek in their own way, much to the chagrin of 10, Janpath. In the circumstances, Narasimhan’s visit assumes political significance. It may be recalled that the Governor was at the receiving end of the Telangana Congress and TRS leaders’ vociferous tirade earlier on. Many theories are floating and each has a potent point to substantiate individual claims and charges. For instance, there are intelligence reports that naxalites have begun infiltrating into their former strongholds under the guise of Telangana agitations. There is a marked contrast between the reports sent by Kiran Kumar Reddy and the APCC Chief Botsa Satyanarayana on the fluid situation in the State capital. Even as the Sakula Janula Samme entered its 24thday today, the Congress leaders from Telangana continue with their rebellion, which is nothing short of disobedience. A senior Congress leader believes that with no other option to contain the proponents of Telangana State beside the overall failure of government machinery, Mr Narasimhan would suggest a brief spell of President Rule. This is more so because no amount of invitations for across-the-table dialogue have yielded results. The ball is back in the court of the party bosses and not that of the UPA.

Telugu Desam Party president N Chandrababu Naidu has announced that he was neither against nor supports the formation of separate Telangana State.

Talking to reporters at the NTR Trust Bhavan here on Tuesday, Naidu said that he was completely neutral on the state bifurcation issue. “In case of state’s bifurcation, I will be a leader for both Telangana and Seemandhra regions,” he hoped. He said he needs to protect the interest of his party in both the regions.

The TDP chief said that he was aware of the feelings of people from both the regions and therefore, could not support or oppose any of them. He alleged that the Congress and Telangana Rashtra Samithi have secretly joined hands to finish the Telugu Desam party in Telangana region.

Commenting on the on-going Sakala Janula Samme, Naidu said that the entire Telangana region was pushed into crisis by TRS chief K Chandrasekhara Rao and JAC chairman Prof M Kodandaram. Further, the Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy was proved inefficient in handling the crisis. He said the leaders spearheading the Telangana agitation were trying to gain the political mileage without considering that their acts were causing lot of hardship to both the striking employees and the common man.

Regarding the power cuts, Naidu said that the farmers have been suffering due to the power cuts imposed on agricultural sector. Further, the cuts for the industrial sector was resulting in job lesses due to cut in productions. He requested the Singareni Collieries employees to withdraw the strike in the interests of Telangana farmers and workers.

The TDP president also demanded that the government streamline the supply of fertilizers to farmers across the State. He alleged that due to government’s inability, an artificial shortage of fertilisers has been created and the farmers would be forced to spend over Rs 2,000 crore to buy fertilisers from the black market.

He threatened to go an indefinite hunger fast if the Speaker rejects his resignation, which is being submitted third time demanding statehood for the region. Stating that he submitted his resignation under Speaker's format only, he appealed to Nadendla Manohar to accept his resignation. He said that he took this decision extending solidarity to the general strike of employees. Rajaiah said that the people in the region believe that the Telangana state would be created only with the resignations of elected representatives from their posts. “Respecting their sentiments and wishes, I have submitted resignation to my post,” he said. “It is not proper to continue in my elected post when all sections of people are voluntarily extending their support for the statehood agitation,” he said. The Congress MLA also vowed that he would distance himself from all government programmes until the formation of separate state. He said that he would announce his future course of plan after September end.

The Telangana agitation took a violent turn on Friday when the activists, mostly TRS workers, physically attacked the legislators of Telugu Desam Party at different places in the region.

The TDP MLAs were holding one-day hunger strike in their respective constituencies demanding statehood for Telangana. However, their programme was totally sabotaged by the Telangana activists. More violence was reported from Warangal district where the TDP Telangana Forum convener and MLA Errabelli Dayakar Rao was sitting on a day-long hunger strike.

Hundreds of Telangana activists came to the hunger strike camp at Plakurti raising ‘Jai Telangana’ slogans. The activists tried to attack Dayakar Rao while accusing him of being a ‘betrayer’ of Telangana. The activists were demanding that the TDP MLAs resign from their post and get a letter of support from the TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu on formation of Telangana. However, the T-activists’ attack was repulsed by the TDP workers, leading to a clash between the two groups.

Having failed to pacify the warring groups, the police then resorted to lathi-charge to disperse the trouble makers. However, some TRS activists beat up TDP MLAs M Narasimhulu and Ramana who were present at the camp. After about half-an-hour, the police was able to take control of the situation. The police then cancelled the permission granted for the hunger strike camp.

In Narsampet of Warangal district, the Telangana activists stopped the convoy of MLA R Prakash Reddy and damaged his vehicle. Similarly, at Nellutla in Lingala Ghanpur mandal, MLA M Narsimhulu’s vehicle was damaged.

In Nizamabad district, some advocates attacked the hunger strike camp of MLA Annapurnama advocates demanding that the TDP clear its stand on Telangana. Later, the advocates were taken into custody by the police. At Dichpally, students of Telangana University tried to attack the camp of TDP leader Mandava Venkateshwara Rao. However, the attack was repulsed by his supporters leading to a major clash between the two groups. At least five students were injured in the attack.

In Karimnagar district, the Telagana activits ‘gheraod’ the residence of MLA Vijayarama Rao and damaged his car. In Gangadhara, some local TDP leaders had to face the fury of TRS activists.

The scene was no different in Mahabubnagar district where MLA Erra Shekhar was attacked with eggs by the Telangana activists at Jedcherla. Barring Hyderabad, similar attacks on TDP leaders were reported from all other districts in the region. (INN)
