Will Chandrasekhara Rao become another 'Raju guide'?

Hyderabad: Telangana protagonist Will and former Union minister K Chandrasekhar Rao become another "guide Luis? This is speculation doin
rounds of Hyderabad from the Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) was rushed to the head of the cardiothoracic intensive care unit of the Institute of Medical Sciences Nizam (NIMS) early Saturday. On the seventh day of his fast, KCR, which has been under arrest in NIMS in recent days, was sent to the ICCU after doctors discovered his heart condition is deteriorating. NIMS is, however, has yet to issue an official medical bulletin on his health.

Veterans recall the superhit movie 'Guide' of the 1960s, in which Dev Anand, who plays guide Raju, disappears after serving a prison sentence for forgery. Luis surfaces in a town where he is mistaken for a holy man. Villagers shower so much love in him that when there is rain a year, Raju can not say no to his request to undertake a fast for the rain. In the end, the sky opens, but Luis has died of hunger.

'KCR is not Mahatma Gandhi. Gandhi could perform fasts often due to discipline in his life and the continuous padyatras would take place. So six days can not be too long, but has the potential to hit the fitness of KCR very bad, "said a veteran politician who knows that the leader TRS closely, but not to be identified. KCR is suffering from a variety of diseases such as diabetes, blood pressure and liver damage. A medical bulletin issued by the NIMS late Friday night was described as stable KCR health but had said that their reports of urine showed signs of "hunger". Sources KCR average may have entered the danger zone on Saturday morning.

For those who came in late, KCR is not a complete fast. He is being 'given saline solution by force "by the hospital authorities. Sources claim that is not accustomed to a frugal lifestyle, KCR was looking for a way out of fasting until Friday. "He would be willing to break the fast if he gets a promise from the government of the Union regarding Telangana or an invitation to Sonia Gandhi for talks. But if KCR leaves fast without any ray of hope that the Center, the chances of his being lynched by students who form the bulk of the Telangana movement, "said an analyst familiar with the Telangana movement. 'KCR is aware of this and the last is to be reconciled with the fast, what happens to him. The Union government is yet to respond to the fast. But after hearing that his health was deteriorating the Saturday, the students have turned to him to give up his fast and requested the central government to reach a specific promise to Telangana. Otherwise, the movement will have a violent turn, have been warned.

Can not possibly carry out his fast more than a day, KCR had accepted a glass of fruit juice and drink on November 30. But if pictures of him with a glass of juice in his hand had infuriated his followers while the TRS chief was forced to issue a statement that he had not abandoned the strike and the planting of this piece of misinformation was work of government agencies. KCR supposedly began his hunger strike in Siddipet, 130 km from Hyderabad on November 29. But even as he headed to the scene, police pounced on him and handed Khammam sub-jail, 220 km from Hyderabad. Fasting was initiated at the jail. Three days later, their deteriorating conditions, KCR was transferred to NIMS, to ensure proper medical care.

Meanwhile, there have been demonstrations on the campuses of several universities in Telangana even Osmania University (OU) in Hyderabad, which is at the heart of Telangana region. In recent days there have been four suicides and three crash deaths as a case of a young man who set himself with the case if an independent state. Although universities in the region have been closed for two weeks, students are putting pressure on MPs and ministers in this region to assume the Telangana cause and burning effigies to incite further. Union Minister Jaipal Reddy one of those people whose effigy is burnt. In this situation, 11 Members of Congress Telangana region meet Sonia Gandhi to have a vision about creating a separate state of Telangana.

The case has been pending since 2004, when Congress came to power in the State in combination with the TRS in Telangana promise. But once in power, Congress failed to meet mainly in the case of YS Rajasekhara Reddy, who strongly opposes the proposal. This KCR forced out of its alliance with Congress in the state and give up his seat on the Council of Ministers of the Union, but could not move forward. This was partly due to his weak will and lack of willingness to work enthusiastically for the cause. Moreover, Rajasekhara Reddy broke the backbone of the TRS by producing evidence that many of the party MLAs were involved in trafficking. Reddy also kept Congressional leaders, who threw for Telangana at bay successfully selling the line in the Telangana Center that, once established, would become a breeding ground for the Maoists, that his government had expelled to neighboring Chhattisgarh.

It is no coincidence that the Telangana movement has intensified soon after the unfortunate death of Rajasekhara Reddy. "Reddy is firmly opposed to the creation of Telangana, the new minister is too weak to take a position. Sonia must have a vision. She was arrested by Reddy. But she is not against Telangana in principle," said a senior leader Congress has been in contact with the head of the Congress on this issue.

However, reports suggest that national security adviser, MK Narayanan called on Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister K Rosaiah in Delhi earlier this week and said the chances of the Maoists infiltrate the Telangana movement were quite high . The agitators Telangana, knowing that the excuse of infiltration of the left is used to justify police action strong arm against them, have begun to make a conscious effort to keep the agitation largely violence free and peaceful.

Telangana up the parts of the former Nizam's dominions are not today in Karanataka and Maharashtra and merged with the Andhra districts of former Madras to create Andhra Pradesh in 1956. This was in the recommendations of the Fazal Ali Commission, which suggested that the integration of what had worked well should be tested after 10 years. In 1969, a major movement for Telangana was launched from the campus of Osmania University that left 300 dead, but the new state was created. After a break of nearly three decades, the TRS was formed in 1996 with the express purpose of forcing the creation of Telangana.

Fifty-three years after the creation of Andhra Pradesh, culturally the people of the two regions are still different in terms of food habits, festivals, music and literature, although in recent years have been mixed marriages, the Telangana people feel they have been swamped by the Andhra settlers who have exploited their region and use the surplus generated to develop the region of Andhra. But people in the two regions are linked by the fact of the Telugu speaking the same language.
