Former union minister Jairam Ramesh has suddenly catches the media attention for arguing in favor of Polavaram Project in Rajyasabha yesterday. While his T-Congress MPs are arguing against it, he strongly defended the bill and also confirmed that each and every line including comas and full stops were made by UPA government with full knowledge keeping in view of its larger interests. Home Minister Rajnath Singh couldn’t stop himself from appreciating him in the house for supporting the bill.

Earlier, Jairam Ramesh was seen as hero of Telangana and villain for AP for he played key role in dividing the state and Telangana state creation. But, the scene is reversed now with his arguments made in favor of Polavaram. He becomes the villain of Telangana, but people of Andhra are still not ready to forgive him and his Congress party.

The big dilemma or double standards maintained by the Congress leaders over this issue is going to adversely effect on their political career, whereas they planned to get some political mileage out of this issue in both states. Telangana people may not believe that T-Congress leaders are honest with their fight because they couldn’t convince or stop their high command from supporting the bill.

People of Andhra won’t believe the Congress leaders because comparatively their counterparts in Telangana state have made very strong arguments and also made disparate attempt to stop the project. Jairam Ramesh’s arguments in Rajyasabha can’t make the people of AP to forgive his party mistake, at the same time it makes people of Telangana fumes on the Congress leaders.

Earlier, Congress put the opposition parties in the same kind of dilemma situation during bifurcation and now it is struck with same dilemma on Polavaram issue. However, it should realize that it can’t revamp the party situation and come to power either in Andhra or Telangana or even at Centre for at least next ten years.
