A section of Rayalseema legislators led by J.C. Diwakar Reddy are proposing the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh into two states Andhra and Greater Rayalseema comprising of Telangana and Rayalseema. Is it a wonder that these Rayalseema leaders are wary of Andhra’s and prove the saying that two crooks cannot stay in the same house. The Rayalseema leaders contention is that Rayalseema would suffer the most if the state was bifurcated. According to them, Andhra has nothing to lose but Rayalseema will have to depend on Telangana for river water and to mitigate this dependency they believe it is more beneficial if Rayalseema merges with Telangana.
What a joke! how can these Rayalseema leaders even think that we will be willing to live with them. Dividing the state into Andhra and Telangana+Rayalseema, will be like rescuing a forcibly confined lady from one brothel and selling her into another. Only a perverted mind could think of this proposal and it shows the Rayalseema lobby’s utter callousness and disregard to the sentiments of 3.5 crore Telangana people. Is it for this continuation of the exploitation that over 250 Telangana youth commit suicide in the last four months, is it for this merger with the Seema bandicoots that 370 students laid down their lives in 1969, is it for this handing over of Telangana from one rapist to the next that our people have continued their struggle for the last 50 years. From being a land of honey and milk for a thousand years, right from the glorious period of the Kakatiyas to the Asaf Jahi’s, we have within five decades of being forcibly confined to Andhra Pradesh been systematically degraded to a life of penury. Our youth have no avenues to advancement and fall prey to extremist ideology, our farmers who till half a century back ploughed fields of gold today commit suicide in their barren lands.
Just as a murderer sees visions of his victims, so do these Rayalseema people believe that we will do to them as they have done to us. My advice to Diwakar Reddy and his fellow clowns is, do not delude yourself into thinking that we will entertain any proposal for a Telangana+Rayalseema state. We will sooner lay down our lives than live with you. Maybe, Diwakar Reddy and his fellow Rayalseema goons are scared that we may pay them back in their own currency. Rest Assured Diwakar Reddy, we the people of Telangana are just and humane and will work with the center and our neighbors to work out an equitable distribution of river waters.
We only request you to leave our land and let us live in peace and prosperity. We have five decades of backwardness to surmount, all our energies will be employed in rebuilding our state and will leave no time for us to persecute you and your ilk. You have to decide now either to part as friends and good neighbors or be thrown out tomorrow as usurpers. Whether you decide to live with Andhra or go your separate way is of no concern to us, just leave Telangana.
