It seems Telangana Chief Minister KCR has made a self-goal by throwing a challenge to Osmania University students. Whether he is serious about taking OU lands for providing housing for poor or not, his consequent statements on this issue have provoked the students.

Recently, OU students attacked Hotel Swagath Grand at Habsiguda, owned by the TRS MLA Muttireddy Yadagiri Reddy. Then next they targeted the Bharat Petrol Bunk in the same area alleging it was constructed in the OU lands. Obviously, opposition parties also singing chorus with them for their political interests, but the Chief Minister KCR has to blame himself for this unrest and unwanted developments taking place in OU now.

No surprise if OU students intensify their fight against the government as it is not reacting to their demand to revoke its decision. But, the Telangana government may be not responding because it will provide another weapon to the opposition parties. If, the government agrees to revoke its decision bowing to their fights, then the opposition parties may simply switch to other side and demand the CM to make his stand clear on his promise of providing housing to the poor. Perhaps, this is what stopping the Telangana government from reacting to the OU students’ demands.

Since, the Chief Minister KCR has ignited the sparks in the Osmania University, he has to take initiative and find a solution to this problem, otherwise if prolongs this issue any further, it may create unexpected problems to his government.
