Well, it is always shown in movies and dialogues of political leaders that the public are sheep minded who tend to forget things quickly and they are also innocent enough to believe anything the leaders would say. Now, something like that is happening for real and that too in our state. The so called Telangana agitation which has been started by K Chandrasekhar Rao has been taking dramatic turns, thanks to his various tantrums. Now, what is surprising to see is that despite his diluted methods to grab attention and make noise, the people of Telangana still don’t realize his motives and are singing his song again.
Hats off to the Telangana people for still believing whatever KCR says. No sooner did he mention that it was color water and not fruit juice that was given to him forcibly, all that anger and feeling of trust betrayal evaporated. When he added that his fast is continuing, all believe him and have taken to the streets creating major chaos. What the people are not realizing is how KCR is making a fool of all. Well, no comments on that one since looking at this theory would give a clear picture. KCR’s view is that the Andhra people (who are not different species but our very own Telugu people) have been cheating the Telangana region.
So, if that is true then it has taken 40 years for him to know that and spread the word, how absurd? Anyways, at this rate, one can imagine how many years it will take to realize that all this is one major KCR drama. The Telangana people must understand that a movement or a revolution is not brought about by politics as history has always shown, it is about the common man coming together with like minded group and be willing to put his point across in a suitable manner to the system.
Today, there have been deaths, injuries and property losses; will KCR take responsibility for this? Well, the so called leader has demanded that the government must give compensation for those who lost their lives. Is it not common sense for him to understand that these people laid down their lives for a movement he started and it is his moral responsibility to do something for their families instead of suggesting the government to pay up?
This is a clear example of how this man is thinking and if the Telangana people still think that by following him, they will achieve their objectives, they are ploughing the sands and digging their own grave. A separate state is all about creating a new and prosperous future for its people and is not about surrendering your sentiment to an aimless leader who believes in carrying out what he wants to achieve as part of his political gains.
Hope the Telangana people realize that and change their approach if they are looking at a new state for Telangana.
