Telangana looks certain – The Hindu.
Three reasons, Congress sources added, eventually weighed in favour of Telangana. One, in the event of a BJP-led NDA coming to power and it announcing that it will divide Andhra Pradesh, the Congress would have to support it: it makes more sense, therefore, to carve out a new State and take the credit for something that it had announced it would do in 2009. Two, the Congress did not eventually want to be seen as going back on a commitment it had made publicly.
Three, electoral considerations: by creating Telangana, the Congress will not only ensure it neutralises the Telangana Rashtra Samiti — which would then become a partner — and deprive the BJP, which has announced its support for the T project, of an election issue, but it would also be in a position to win a majority of the 17 Lok Sabha seats in the region, along with the TRS. In the rest of the State, regardless of whether it keeps Andhra Pradesh united or divided, it sees itself in the third position behind Jaganmohan Reddy’s YSR Congress and the Telugu Desam Party (TDP). In the last general elections in 2009, the Congress won 33 of the 42 seats across the three regions of the State. The calculation is that only by creating Telangana can it minimise its losses, winning around 20 instead of 33, instead of being reduced to just a handful of seats.
The Congress’s strategy is to ensure that as few seats as possible go to the BJP as it believes that most other parties in Andhra Pradesh will find it hard to back a BJP-led government after the elections for fear of alienating the Muslims.
About Common Man
Common Man! 95% Indian’s soul. I am a Kundalini Yogi & enlightened person. I cannot do any thing except expressing my opinion to remaining Common People. My spirit does not permit me to harm any being, but if any body do harm to Common people; I do air it to the Society to prevent it. I like Muslims who do the prayer of Almighty every day 5 times. However, I hate terrorism on the mask of Jihad. I like Universal love pronounced by Christ, but I hate the policy to denounce the other religious methods. I learned well from the Ramayana and Mahabharata through my mother at the time of my childhood. Lord Rama is in my heart like all Hindus, I am a follower of all political parties, even though I don't support decisions taken by parties against Common People, I hate hereditary politics and chanting leaders I do support the good ideas and proposals from all parties. By birth, I hate corruption. By birth, all people have a right on Natural resources, which are gifts of Almighty, after deaths nothing shall come with you. only a land of 6feet x 3feet at burial ground or 500Kg fire wood can mix all individuals into the Earth or Air, every body know the above universal truth, But I don't understand why Corrupt people are doing so many Frauds to earn lots of money with corrupt practices and directly doing harm to the society and Common People. Government job or people's representative ship is not a license to earn money by corrupt practices, they are taking salaries, and other benefits from people's common fund collected as taxes form all people. Therefore, Prime Minister to attender who is taking salaries and remunerations from common fund is responsible & accountable to people of this country. By chance, you get an opportunity to serve the country, utilize the great opportunity as Almighty gift to earn great fame, which is long living. Do not try to bandit public money by corrupt practices, Almighty shell punish you and your family because you are violating the rules of almighty. I am a harmless citizen who has the right to demonstrate in collective assembly.
