   Having read our Telangana brother’s sentimental plea with facts, I have a question..Tomorrow what if say 4 of the five districts complain of neglect and ill-treatment and demand for a seperate VELAngana state? Would you guys be kind enought to grant one since they FEEL that they are neglected (They = 4 districts)?
   So, my sincere advise is “QUESTION THE ELECTED REPRESANTATIVES WHAT THEY ARE DOING..A SEPERATE STATE WOULD NOT SOLVE ANY OF THE ISSUES YOU RAISED…PLS THINK..”

   Dear Telangana brother,

   Do you think your statistics are better than Sri Krishna committee’s ?
   Stop bringing up your own facts and have some respect for some of the respected and knowledgeable people who did their job of compiling such a comprehensive report. Ofcourse, you would not like it because it doesn’t support your cause.

   Anyway, assuming that all your facts are correct, what are your politicians doing ? You guys always argue as if you are being ruled by some Britishers and you don’t have any say. With 10 districts in Tgana, obviously you do have enough political representation, right ? Why can’t you fight for your rights within the democratic setup that works so well, world wide ?

   Simple answer is your own politicians screwed you guys.

   And knowing your pulse, when these exact politicians are stroking the passions, almost all of you again fell for it. Your enemy is your own politicians.

   In a democratic setup, ideally, there is no way a ‘region’ can be screwed unless there is no political representation, provided the peoples representatives do their jobs.

   Even if you get a state, it is these same politicians that will rule you and suck your blood. So, stop playing victim and realize who is your real enemy !

   We Want Telangana July 6, 2011

   1- watch this 10 min video for some facts

   also read below…. none of that is political lies…. imagine how it will be to be a victim of this….

   Whenever the topic of Telangana is raised, many of us blindly support
   Andhra or Telangana based on where we come from. Not sure how many
   really think of why the demand for separate state has been there for
   such a long time. The 2 major reasons why the demand has been pending
   for so many years is WATER AND HYDERBAD. People around the state have
   earned and invested in and around Hyderabad so there is a concerns
   about the safety of the investment if the state is separated while
   both the major rivers in our state flow mostly through Telangana.
   Below are some facts that are few reasons for the demand. Sentiments
   can be foolish but not facts.

   a. There are 10 districts in Telangana, 9 in Andhra and 4 in
   Rayalaseema. Out of these 7 districts in Telangana, 3 in Andhra and 1
   in Rayalaseema are considered severely backward districts which means
   70% of districts in Telangana are backward while in Andhra it is 35%
   and in Rayalaseema it is 25%. Apart from these there are some areas in
   all parts of the state which are also backward.

   b. 45% of the state income comes from Telangana region. When it
   comes to utilization of funds, the share of Telangana is only 28%.

   c. Normally canals are dug to supply water to the crops from
   rivers for cultivation. The amount of land cultivated through canals
   in just Guntur district is more than the land cultivated with canals
   in entire Telangana region.

   d. Nagarjuna sagar dam is built in Nalgonda district which is in
   Telangana but majority of the water from the dam is used for Krishna
   and Guntur district. The original dam was supposed to be build much
   ahead of its present location but the location was changed so that it
   falls in the Telangana region. Due to the construction of the dam
   several hectares of Lime stone mines vanished as part of the dam back
   waters. Everyone know that lime stone is used for producing cement.
   Even the natural resources were not allowed to remain.

   e. Fluorinated water problem is only in Nalgonda district which
   has not been resolved since decades.

   f. Two major rivers Krishna and Tungabhadra enter the state of
   AP in the district of Mahaboobnagar(the biggest district in Telangana)
   but the district always remains the worst draught hit areas along with
   Anantapur because there is no project and process with which the water
   can be utilized. The plans for utilization has been pending for
   decades.

   g. RDS (Rajolibanda Diversion Scheme) is build in Mahaboobnagar
   to provide water to 85000 hectares of land in the district. The
   leaders of Rayalaseems blasted the gates of RDS and water is supplied
   to KC (Kurnool-Cudapah) canal while only remaining water, if any, is
   supplied to the lands in Mahaboobnagar.

   h. 3 TMC of water from Gandipet is sufficient to supply drinking
   water to our city. Every year 1700 TMC of water is wasted and is flown
   into Bay of Bengal from river Godavari. Starting from Nizambad to Bay
   of Bengal there is no project allowed to build on Godavari. If it is
   built leaders in Godavari districts fear that the fertile lands in the
   area may fall short of water. If the Godavari water is utilized
   properly, there will be no scarcity for food grains in our state.

   i. In Telangana regions, only few areas cultivate one crop a
   year and very rarely two crops a year while most of the land doesnt
   even cultivate single crop. In both the Godavari districts, Krishna
   and Guntur district, two crops a year is common and there are times
   where even 3 crops a year are cultivated. The only reason is WATER.

   j. Government issue G.O.s for implicating its decisions. G.O
   number 610 is the longest non implicated G.O in the history of AP. The
   G.O was issued in 1986 by late NTR who was then the CM of AP, which is
   not yet implicated. The G.O speaks about the share of Telangana
   employees in Government jobs in Telangana region.

   k. 33% of the population in Mahaboobnagar district have left the
   district for livelihood to different parts of the state due to draught
   and majority of them are working as daily labour. No other district
   has so many people who fled the home place due to lack of livelihood
   and working as daily labour.

   l. There are 25 plus government degree colleges in Krishna,
   Kadapa and Guntur district while there is not even a single government
   degree college in Ranga Reddy district.

   m. Dairy development corporation of AP purchases milk from farmers
   across the state for distribution. For the same milk, in Andhra, the
   government pay Rs. 24 to the farmers and in Telangana they pay Rs. 22
   per litre. Partiality is shown even in milk J

   n. In between 2005-2008 government sold lands worth Rs. 20000
   crores in and around Hyderabad which was utilized to build projects in
   Rayalaseema and Andhra.

   o. Not even a single project was completed in Telangana in the
   last 5 years while several projects were completed in Andhra and
   Rayalaseema.

   Nobody wants a split in the state but when the people of one region
   are constantly humiliated and denied of what they should be getting,
   such demands keep coming. Let us show maturity in understanding social
   problems keeping aside the sentiments.
