Driving on rough road in traffic
is always a litmus test and exposes true skills than self boasting
and drum beating as a great driver. Recent statements from BJP prime
ministerial candidate Narendra Modi on Telangana and bifurcation of
Andhra Pradesh clearly indicates the poor understanding on
the subject and its history.
Yesterday, speaking at rally in
Gulbarga, Karnataka, Modi said "Look at what they (Congress) did
to Andhra Pradesh. We (BJP) also want that Telangana be created, that
Seemandhra prospers. But the Congress is a doctor who helps give
birth to a child but kills the mother. Telugu pride is like a mother.
They have committed the sin of killing the mother. We wanted to save
the mother as well as the child."
Linking Telugu pride with
formation of two separate states Telangana and Seemandhra is poor
man's strategy, moreover, it is like weeping publicly on dead Andhra
Pradesh (1956-2014) but secretly moving hands in search of any gold
ornaments on it.
Modi failed to understand the
basic thing that Telangana and Telugu pride are two different things.
Neither BJP nor Congress can kill or threat Telugu pride, as it is
the basic life line and the identity of two regions with different
cultures and history.
If assuming Telugu pride is like
mother for a while, did formation of Telangana and seemandhra killed
the Telugu language? what kind of logic is it? Did formation of states kill the languages?
If Congress killed the Telugu
pride as per Modi, then BJP should protest for killing Telugu pride but victory rallies in support support of Telangana and Seemandhra. To save Telugu pride did BJP need any
permission from Congressmen ? Or Did BJP want to share its burden
with Congress in killing the Telugu pride ?
On several occasions, BJP was
chest beating that they have successfully separated Uttar
Pradesh-Uttarakhand, Bihar-Jharkhand and Madhya Pradesh-Chattisghard
with great precision where two regions celebrated the formation of
new states and shared sweets without any pain in the public and
keeping the sanctity of Hindi pride.
If presuming sweet distribution
for a while then BJP need to be appreciated for a wonderful job in
preparing the ground. So the same logic should apply for its cadre in
Andhra Pradesh too because it had ample time to create the ground
since 1998, but so far I have not seen any picture or can't recall
any event where BJP shared sweets between Telangana and
Seemandhra units after a successful support of T-bill in Lok Sabha
on February 18.
Modi want Telangana to be created,
but he does not want to congratulate or share sweets to Seemandhra and Telangana people. May be BJP veteran
Venkaih Naidu is still busy in preparing the sweets to be shared.
As an ordinary politician Modi too
is trying to squeeze a political benefit from the Telangana issue
than speaking on core, division and
Hyderabad status, law and order with governor,
Seemandhra capital, reduction of common capital period, removing imposed education/job
quota for seemandhra in Hyderabad.
Why Modi is silent on controversial Polavaram Project which was
designed to displace or literally wipe out the life of 370 villages
and tribals in Badrachalam division where a great Ram Temple was build by
Kancharla Gopanna defying the Nizam.
May be Modi dreaming for better
prospects in Seemandhra with his over hyped statements on bifurcation
of Andhra Pradesh, but I think let him experience and taste what
Seemandhra is and their beloved N. Chandrababu Naidu's chameleon
politics, who was successful in killing budding BJP cadre in Telangana.
If Modi want accelaretes his poll
vehicle speed on fragile and tough Telangana road with his illogical
statements then T-BJP unit will pay heavy price in elections 2014.
