Telangana organisations plan to obstruct Jagan’s meeting

                                                                         

Some Telangana organisations have given a call to obstruct the ‘Samaikhya Sankharam’ meeting of YSR Congress here on Saturday which has got the permission of police.

Roundtable

Notable among the organisations is the joint action committee of Osmania University students which has planned to mobilise students from districts for the purpose. It will organise a roundtable on the university campus on Friday to chalk out a strategy. The advocates JAC and the Praja Sanghala JAC, led by Gajjala Kantham, have also given a similar call.

The political JAC headed by M. Kodandaram, however, said the organisation had not discussed the issue yet.

The Additional Director General of Police (Law and Order) V.S.K. Kaumudi said a general alert was issued to police to keep vigil against any obstruction to the meeting. The force in districts was also asked to be watchful.

No alliance with our ‘enemy’ Congress, says YSRC

Piqued at the Telugu Desam Party’s (TDP) allegation of behind-the-scene deal with the Congress, the YSR Congress Party has lashed out at both the parties for turning the tables.

Central committee member Bhumana Karunakar Reddy made it clear that their party was not just an opposition, but a sworn ‘enemy’ to the Congress and the UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi. “By its undemocratic outlook, suppressive measures, authoritarian attitude, anti-people stand and vindictive politics, the Congress has turned out to be our first enemy and we will ensure that the party is uprooted from the State’s political landscape and rendered a non-entity, akin to States like Tamil Nadu and West Bengal,” he announced at a media conference here on Monday.

Taking serious exception to the Union government’s unilateral decision to bifurcate the State, paying little heed to the genuine concerns of the Seemandhra people, he said the Congress and the TDP had emerged traitors of the region. “TDP support is UPA’s strength”, he quipped, recalling the ‘nexus’ between the two, as witnessed during voting on FDI, MLC elections, no-confidence motion and Panchayat elections.

“Even as public outrage grew by day over the CWC decision, Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy remained in deep slumber for ten days before proclaiming to be a Samaikyandhra champion,” he charged.

In a similar note, he flayed the TDP president N. Chandrababu Naidu for his initial response of seeking Rs. 4 lakh crore from the Centre in the wake of bifurcation. Dubbing the public representatives of both the parties as ‘traitors of Samaikyandhra movement’, he observed that they feigned support only out of fear of backlash from their constituents.

‘YSRC meet will provide platform for integrationists’

The October 26 Samaikya Sankharavam in Hyderabad led by YSR Congress chief Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy will provide a platform for all integrationists across the State, including Telanganites, to forcefully articulate the demand for united Andhra Pradesh, party Chief Whip Balineni Srinivasa Reddy said on Sunday.
Speaking after releasing the poster for the mega event to bring together lakhs of Samaikyandhra protagonists cutting across party lines, Mr Srinivasa Reddy maintained that a majority of the people in the State, including those in Telangana, wanted the State to remain united. He said people were confused whether TDP chief N. Chandrababu Naidu's fast was either for State division or united AP. .
People were perplexed as to how could Mr Naidu diagnosed of suffering from jaundice could resume his ''Atma Gaurva Bus yatra'' from Srikakulam, he asked.
He held a meeting with Assembly constituency coordinators in Prakasam district and decided to arrange for over 200 buses and a special train from here to mobilise more than one lakh people from the district to Hyderabad for the Saturday's meet.

Jagan supporters warn OU students

                                                           

Activists of the students’ wing of the integrationist YSR Congress on Friday issued a warning to their counterparts at Osmania University for threatening to disrupt the party’s “Samaikya Sankaaravam” in Hyderabad later this month. The YSRC students’ wing leaders led by its city president G. Prasanna Sravanna Kumar symbolically submitted a petition to Mahatma Gandhi with a plea to the apostle of peace to change the minds of OU students. The OU students should understand that meeting was meant to protect the interests of people from Telangana as well Seemandhra.

In Ongole, YSR Congress Prakasam district Convenor Naukasani Balaji exhorted the party cadre from the district to storm the State capital on October 26 to open the eyes of Congress president Sonia Gandhi, who was turning a blind eye to the demand of a majority people of the State for united Andhra Pradesh.

The State Assembly should be convened immediately for adoption of a resolution for keeping the state united, he told a press conference here.

YSRC gearing up for ‘Samaikya Sankharavam

                                                           

The cadre and leaders of the YSR Congress of the four North Andhra districts are preparing to participate in the ‘Samaikya Sankharavam’ scheduled to be held in Hyderabad on October 26, party’s North Andhra convener Sujay Krishna Ranga Rao has said.

Addressing the media here on Friday, he said the party had arranged four trains — one from each district — to facilitate the cadre to reach Hyderabad. Other modes of transport were also being arranged.

Each constituency in-charge was asked to mobilise 5,000 people for the meeting. The party leaders were confident that the target would be crossed without much effort, he added.

Talking about problems that the Seemandhra region would face in case of bifurcation of the State, he said the Major Irrigation Minister, who hails from Telangana, was obstructing the progress of the Polavaram project, which the Centre wanted to take up as a national project.

“It is unfortunate that the Congress-led UPA government at the Centre is hell bent on dividing the State, ignoring the popular sentiment of the people of the Seemandhra region,” YSRC leader Dadi Veerabhadra Rao said.

The Congress was proving to be ingrate by working against the interests of the people who trusted the party and returned it to power for two consecutive terms, he said.

Even with 42 seats in the Lok Sabha, the State was getting a raw deal. “Once it is divided, who is going to listen to the 17 or 25 members representing the State. The State is being divided as part of a larger conspiracy to weaken it,” he said.
