Sri Krishna commission Report




Yes it is too late to write on Sri Krishna commission.
Sri Krishna commission report submitted on 1st Jan 2011 has just scored pass marks i.e. 35 out of 100.
That pass marks also came because it tilted towards united AP with more privileges to Telangana. It accepted that Rayalaseema is much more back-ward than Telangana.
Thus it exposed all Telangana agitators as it is more of sentimental, emotional, political and blackmailing in approach.
Some of the AS-IS comments of the report
· Still regional imbalances exist. But the inequality between the haves and have nots is decreased in Andhra compared anywhere. In Telangana still exists - this can lead to fights anytime and easily provokable by any groups for any agitations. Tomorrow it can be SC categorization, Naxalite movement, Minority issues
· If Hyderabad is included the growth Is much more faster in all aspects for Telangana even in Agriculture
· Hyderabad has 8% GDP across state which is very high compared to any other district. Thus Hyderabad necessitates its common accessibility for all regions of AP, for that matter to India and world
· Option 1 Maintain Status Quo
o Consider the case as law and order problem. Let State solve it and Center keep quite
o The commission has not found any intentional negligence of Telangana and also the data shows no proof that Telangana is backward and not progressed
o But immediate backlash may take place for some time following
o Hyderabad city's image will be effected
o MLAs and MPs might be forced to resign
o Maoists may rise
o This is not a good solution
· Option 2 Bifurcation of the State into Seemandhra and Telangana; with Hyderabad as a Union Territory and the two states developing their own capitals in due course
o Hyderabad is a pivotal city now. Hence it should be UT
o 1/3rd of population is migrant
o Rayalaseema and Andhra may accept this as 2nd choice. But Telangana will oppose it
o Telangana may obstruct the functioning of UT by blocking from all sides
o This also gives almost same problems like above
o This is also not a good solution
· Option 3 Bifurcation of State into Rayala-Telangana and coastal Andhra regions with Hyderabad being an integral part of Rayala-Telangana
o 2nd preference to Rayalaseema people
o AIMIM's 2nd option also the same while United AP is the first one for them
o Analysis suggests that primarily taking economic and social parameters into account this would be a viable and sustainable option.
o Rayalaseema prefers to be with Telangana rather with Andhra - if separated
o But Telangana strongly opposes this
o Though economically it is good one, but both sides will not accept and gives new issues.
o Also Telangana may continue the agitation still
· Option 4 Bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh into Seemandhra and Telangana with enlarged Hyderabad Metropolis as a separate Union Territory. This Union Territory will have geographical linkage and contiguity via Nalgonda district in the south-east to district Guntur in coastal Andhra and via Mahboobnagar district in the south to Kurnool district in Rayalaseema
o This is derived from option 2
o GHMC area now is 625 SQKM
o HMDA covers now 7073 SQKM
o Proposed UT will have 12,000 SQ KM
o Expanded UT is good for Nation and for Hyderabad itself
o 3 regions will have connectivity unlike the option 2
o All the 3 regions can have Hyderabad as the Capital (Andhra, Telangana and UT)
o It will be a model of mix of Chandigarh and Delhi
o This most probably will be the acceptable one to Rayalaseema - and they may not want any more separate state
o But all 3 regions may feel that they lost their Hyderabad
o Telangana will be fighting dead against this
· Option 5 - Bifurcation of the State into Telangana and Seemandhra as per existing boundaries with Hyderabad as the capital of Telangana and Seemandhra to have a new capital
o This is the most agreeable one to Telangana
o Strong pro-Telangana elements in Warangal, west Khammam, Nizamabad, Karimnagar, southern Adilabad, Siddipet area of Medak, parts of Nalgonda and Mahabubnagar and some areas of Ranga Reddy. The most vociferous and agitating sections are the students(particularly in Osmania and Kakatiya Universities), the unemployed youth, the lawyers and the non-gazetted Government employees;
o The neutral elements include the original population of Hyderabad, including large segments of AIMIM, the villages/mandals bordering Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, coastal Andhra, Rayalaseema and Karnataka; the settler villages/mandals in the Telangana heartland (Khammam, Karimnagar, Nizamabad etc.) and the migrant population in HMDA from Seemandhra and other parts of the country;
o Heavy backlash from Seemandhra -
o Separate state demand for Rayalaseema
o Impact outside of AP - more such demand start pouring
o Is it correct for a region to decide on its own like this?
o Cost of goods/service will increase because of too many costs across state
o Loss of Hyderabad by Seemandhra cannot be imagined
o Even Telangana may suffer due to non-co-operation from Andhra
o The continuing demand, therefore, for aseparate Telangana, the Committee felt, has some merit and is not entirelyunjustified.
o Settlers will have major issues and may be targeted
o Committee did not think it to be the most preferred, but the second best
o Separation is recommended only in case it is unavoidable and if this decision can be reached amicably amongst all the three regions.
· Option 6 - Keeping the State united by simultaneously providing certain definite Constitutional/Statutory measures for socio-economic development and political empowerment of Telangana region – creation of a statutorily empowered Telangana Regional Council
o Telangana council with MLA as chairman
o Separate bodies for important areas such as Irrigation, education and power….
o The council should have a secretariat
o This is the best of all considering 3 regions
o But people from Telangana will oppose and will pressurize the politicians to resign
o Rayalaseema also may demand such council

TURMOIL of AP AHEAD




No one knows how the state AP is going to be headed. That shows how Sonia , Manmohan and Chidambaram are least bothered for a state which fetched 33 MPs , making them to enjoy the power – sitting like Nero king who enjoyed the Roman fire by playing guitar.
There are too many angles to the current crisis in the form of Telangana.
1) Congress as a back-up plan romped in Chiranjeevi, anyhow it has the support of MIM – thus it has a support of additional 23 MLAs and even Jagan takes 25 MLAs – Congress can safe.
Ofcourse Congress will play a drama like that of Yeddy and ensures that the 20+ MLAs of Jagan will be kicked out of membership and will be thrown away from Assembly.
2) Jagan and TRS are making secret understanding to threaten Congress. While Jagan wants to threaten clearly – Cunning KCR and TRS wants to use it as a blackmail – but the innocent Telanganites still believing KCR like that of sheep flock – but it is open secret that he will be ready to sell TRS for crores of money
3) TDP is caught and unaware what to do. NCB – is becoming a helpless person and not able to oppose Telangana and at the same time not able to support. Thus indirectly wants Congress to continue in power, get marginalized Jagan’s and TRS political base.
But in the whole process the whole Telangana gang is doing asadistic damage of the region by way of trying to launch non-cooperation moment by all sections
1) They want to stall schools and colleges. They want to spoil the future of the students. But all leading politicians’ families must be studying out of state or abroad.
2) The employees of state government want to do strike – they all should be dismissed at once and employ the uneducated Telangana youth – that solves the major problem.
3) Lawyers want to boycott the courts – they should be arrested as terrorists.
In the name of freedom of expression and with a wrong message of Egypt they want to repeat it. There the whole nation fought against the dictator. But here this region is creating hatred, enmity and violence against another region. Taking law and order into their hands. Stalling the development and progress.
Let the Central government get some basic common sense into the mind and stop this nuisance once for all and if needed call the Military and order shoot at sight against any agitators. That only solves this mad Telangana issue
