Singareni Coal Fields the Most Visible Example of Seema Andhra Exploitation
In the last two decades successive Andhra and Rayalseema Governments have conspired to wrest away this jewel of Telangana. There have been myriad attempts at this in the last 50 years which were foiled by the vigilance of the people and the miners. The latest attempt at this was made just a few months ago, when the Tadicherla coal mines in Karimnagar, part of the Singareni Collieries geological area, were all but sold off to ETA-ECCI-PLR, Joint Venture, a company promoted by Kadapa MP Y. S. Jaganmohan Reddy and the AP state forest minister P. Ramachandra Reddy, both hailing from Seemandhra region
The Union coal ministry had allotted the Tadicherla block-1, to APGenco, a Seema Andhra infested, Government turned quasi Private Co, by N. Chandrababu Naidu during his reign as the CM of AP, to meet the coal requirements of Kakatiya Thermal Power Station at Bhoopalpally in Warangal district. SCCL, which by law and economic efficiencies should have been awarded the contract for mining and supply of this coal to APGenco, was forced to opt out of the negotiations and ETA-ECCI-PLR led JV awarded the bid amounting to a whopping Rs.5000 crore for the mining and supply of coal at twice the price, that SCCL charges.
This perfidious act would have hurt Telangana in two ways, one we would have been cheated out of our natural resources today and a few years later, APGenco, would have prepared a report on the financial in viability of continuing with the Bhoopalpally Power Project, and forced its shut down, resulting in loss of livelihood and power supply to the people of Warangal. Had it not been for the current situation, these mines would now be the private property of these Seema Andhra bandits in khadi.
Not only this, there is rampant discrimination against the locals, in these mines, while all the underground miners belong to the Telangana region, and bear the risk of working in hazardous conditions, the plum and safe jobs right from the lowest of the clerical post to the top cadre are occupied by non-locals, ie people from the Seemandhra region. If you had just one word to describe the plunder and injustice meted out to Telangana people in Andhra Pradesh, the answer would be Singareni.

A Very Loud n clear NO to Rayalaseema's wish of remaoning 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.

Polavaram and the Relentless Plunder of Telangana
Polavarum, or rather the Indira Sagar project is relentlessly being pushed across by the Andhra leaders. It is the clinching evidence that will nail the lies on why these Andhra’s object to the Telangana state. The Polavarum project will sacrifice over 200 villages of Khammam district to irrigate and enrich the Andhra fields in Godavari, Krishna and Vizag districts and as a bonus provide drinking water to the city of Vizag and a continuous supply of water to the Vizag Steel Plant. This scourge of Telangana, called Polavaram will bring desolation and despair to over 2,00,000 Telangana people by submerging their lands and indirectly affect the livelihood and future of another 10,00,000 people living in the upstream areas.
Polavaram is an example of the impunity and callousness with which Telangana and its people have been systematically stripped of their basic human rights of right to livelihood and right to own property. The Polavarum project will submerge over 200 villages in Khammam and aggravate the misery of the Telangana farmers upstream. The dam created from the Polavaram barrage will reach 145 Kms upstream and prevent Dummugudem hydropower to generate power as planned. Dummugudem provides power for Devadula (Chokka Rao) lift irrigation scheme that will supply water to the drought prone Telangana areas. Polavaram will not only impoverish the fragile livelihood of the people living in the Dams area, but will also snuff out the life of the regions serviced by the Devadula project. That the Andhra Government with the Center blessings plans to go ahead with creating this monster that will make the already obese child, the Andhra farmers still more obese by feeding it with the food of the undernourished child the Tealangana farmers, shows the step motherly treatment the people of Telangana have been receiving for the last 50 years.
The AP Government is trying to sweeten the Polavarum project for Orissa and Madhya Pradesh, each of them will get 1.5 TMC and 5 TMC of water respectively, as well as the right to use the waterways for transportation at lower rates. While these modalities of recompensing the other states are being worked out. No such relief will be available to the Telangana region, as it is still an occupied territory within the Seemandhra grasp. It is a sorry state of affairs that in this Nation of ours not a voice is raised against this planned Government sanctioned rape of a region.
Against this back drop, the congress MLA’s from the coastal region led by the Ungutur MLA, V. Vasanth Kumar have embarked on a public awareness campaign to educate people on the benefits of the project. These people also plan on a signature campaign in Visakhapatnam, East and West Godavari and Krishna districts, to mobilize people against the "anti-Polavaram forces". Pray, can anyone tell me how you can raise public awareness and educate people on a project that will annihilate the lives of 3.5 lakh people. Hitler could surely have learnt a few lessons from these Andhra Nazi’s on how to kill an entire region and race in full view of the world, and with the benign blessings of the Central Leadership.
If the Nation does not wake up to the tragedy of Telangana today and see that the region is set free from the Seemandhra clutches, tomorrow it may be too late. Today we plead for a separate state heed our cry for justice, do not let your silence push us to a state confrontation. Decide now whether you want Telangana in peace or with blood on your hands.

Where Have all the Industries of Telangana Gone...
The people of Telangana have since the merger of the state with Andhra districts of erstwhile Madras state, have been progressively marginalized, their lands have been made barren by diverting their rightful share of waters to the verdant fields of Seema Andhra region. The factories where its workers earned their livelihood have been systematically run down to sickness, sold off and the factory lands converted to sprawling colonies for the settlers.
In 1956, when Telangana state (Hyderabad state) was merged to form Andhra Pradesh, the region was a buzz of activity with several large thriving industries, chief among which were the Azam Jahi Mills, Nizam Sugar Factory, DBR Mills, Sirpur Sir Silk Mills, Deccan Glass factory, Praga Tools, Soda factory, Iron factory , Firangula factory, and the Antargam spinning mills. These factories collectively employed over 1,00,000 workers in Telangana. Save for the lone Praga Tools which is alive today all the others have been meticulously nurtured to sickness and closure. There is a single story that binds the closure of these industries and loss of livelihood of thousands of Telangana workers, it is a story of Government apathy, systematic ruin of a thriving industry, followed by a distress sale to Seemandhra businessmen, who later converted the industrial land into housing colonies.
The Nizam Sugar Factory in Bodhan was at one time Asia’s biggest sugar factory. During the time of Nizam the Sugar Factory's holdings included over 1,600 square kilometres of land, 14 village camps and Hospital. Other services that were provided for the children of employees included a high school, junior and degree colleges. The factory was managed into sickness by the cadre which was primarily deputed from the Andhra region. It was finally sold at a throw away price to Gokaraju Rangaraju from W.Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh.
The story of the Azam Jahi Mills is similar, this was established in Warangal during Nizams rule and provided livelihood to about 15000 people in Warangal. It was also managed to sickness, closed down and the Mills lands sold as real estate under YSR. A housing colony is being built on this prime land in the heart of Warangal.
Contrast this with the Seemandhra Government’s patronage and wholeheartedness in reviving the sick Vizag Steel Plant at a cost of 1,500 crores. It would have taken this amount to revive all the 8 industries in Telangana, and saved the livelihood of over a lack of people. But, this would not have suited the Seemandhra game plan, whose mission has always been to plunder and deprive the people of Telangana of their right to livelihood. The people of Rayalseema and Andhra have prospered by exploiting the people of Telangana, and the only way ahead for the state of Telangana to prosper is to break free of these Seemandhra clutches.

* The Glorious History of Telangana Submerged Under Government Apathy
Telangana has a rich history of 3000 years, and this can be seen in the ruins that dot the districts of Warangal, Hyderabad and Nalgonda. The tourism potential of Telangana is immense, it is bestowed with a bounty of cultural and religious relics and natural landscapes for adventure sports. Alas, none of this has been advertised and publicized till date. For the successive Seemandhra Government’s, tourism ministers the tourist potential in Telangana started with the Charminar and ended with the pearls in Hyderabad, with a minor mentions of the Warangal fort and Salarjung Museum. Contrast, this with the way Vishakapatnam has been touted as a must visit tourist spot in Andhra Pradesh with its Arukku valley and Borra Caves.
In the last few decades the number of tourists visiting Vishakapatnam, Vijayawada, and Chittor has increased at more than double the rate for Warangal and Nalgonda combined. Warangal has a rich tapestry of historical relics, the architectural marvel of the 1000 pillar temple, the Warangal fort, and the beauty of the stone carvings in Ramappa temple, it has the potential to attract both foreign and domestic tourists. How many people in the country know of Nagarjuna Sagar Konda? It is a manifestation of mans efforts to save his history and provide for water security of his progeny. It can with a little effort be integrated into the Buddhist circuit, resulting in attracting the hordes of Buddhist pilgrims. Promoting tourism in Telangana, would have enriched the State and provided a decent standard of living to its citizens. But, this subject has never even been brought up by successive Seemandhra Governments of AP. Forget investing in the tourism potential of the Telangana region, the Andhra Government is hell bent on destroying the very edifices that can earn revenue for the State of Telangana.
The Government in its haste to develop the connectivity to Vijayawada, has gone ahead with starting work on building a 4 lane highway connecting it to Hyderabad. This Highway will wipe out 26 historically significant archeological monuments. Beginning with the ‘kos minars' or milestones from the Qutub Shahi dynasty, Chalukyan and Kakatiya period temples, mosques from the Mughal era, which can be creatively packaged and sold as a “Highway Tourism Project” will be turned to dust. Most important of all, there’s a 13th century Shiva temple from the Kakatiya period, located just before Chityal, in Warangal having a ‘garba gruha', ‘arthamandapa', ‘maha mandapa' and a four-pillared ‘Nandi mandapa', a part of the temple is buried under the existing road, and needs to be excavated. The government instead of saving this monument is intent on burying it still deeper into eternity by running a bull dozer over it.
I have seen places in India and abroad with far less to see but packaged as the ultimate destinations for travelers looking at a flavor of ancient culture. Tourism in Telangana, is never been a subject of debate or interest, but it can bring undreamed of prosperity to a State, witness Rajasthan, Kerala and now Gujarat. However, these states have been promoted by their leaders, none of them have been crushed into the dust like the history and culture of Telangana.
Tourism for Telangana the 29th state of India, will be one of the main sources of revenue, and it is incumbent upon us to safe guard our monuments and heritage, and force the abandonment of this Hyderabad-Vijayawada 4 land highway.JAI TELANGANA

Andhra Government Withers Telangana Fields....
The Andhra Government is all set to extend the date for closure of canalsin W.Godavari district by 10-15 days to facilitate water supply for paddy fields in the tail-end parts. Not only this, Mr.Suryanarayana Raju, Secretary of the Andhra Pradesh Rytu Karyacharana Samithi has asked the district authorities to supply water for fish farming. According to him, it will be unfair to deprive the fish farmers of water. The Andhra fish ponds will be filled with canal water after watering the paddy fields. This benevolence of the Seemandhra led Government towards the Andhra farmers is in sharp contrast to the attitude of the Government in providing water for the parched fields of the Telangana farmers in Ghanapur.
Crops in as many as 2,500 acres are in the danger of getting withered under Ghanapur ayacut, thanks to the indifference of various departments, that are infested by the Seemandhra settlers. Severe drought conditions in the preceding year, adversely affected the khariff crop in Telangana. The farmers in Ghanapur took up cultivation of paddy, sugarcane and sunflower only after the Government agreed to release water during the rabi season. The debts incurred by the farmers in procuring the required capital for sowing the rabi crop can only be imagined. Water was made available at three instances in the rabi season, during which the crop was grown to a considerable stage. And just before these crops could be harvested the Irrigation Department pulled the proverbial rug from under these hapless Telangana farmers by delaying the release of the final round of water, this insipte of the fact that 25 tmcft of water was released from the Singoor reservoir expressly for the Ghanapur ayacut.
The farmers of Ghanpur, had to approach the State Human Rights Commission (SHRC) for respite from the Administrations inhuman attitude in withholding of water, and the water was released only after Justice B. Subhashan Reddy, Chairman of SHRC directed the Principal Secretary, Minor Irrigation to release the water immediately. According to some farmers, even the release of water would not save the day for farmers as paddy crop in most of the areas at Kishtapur, Macharam and Rapur has already withered, and this water can only save the existing sugarcane crop in some areas.The step motherly treatment meted out to Telangana and its people is visible all round us. There can be no excuse to condone the callous attitude of a State administration that releases water to save the crops of an impoverished and on the brink of destitution farmers only on orders from the Human Rights Commission. We the people of Telangana can get justice and the right to a livelihood only in our separate state.
