Can’t say anything on RT: Digvijay

  Deputy CM Damodara Rajanarasimha, who returned Hyderabad two days after discussing with party high command over bifurcation, was again summoned to New Delhi today. However, his tour was cancelled in the last minute. No reasons were given for it. He made it clear that his high command has proposed ‘Rayala Telangana,’ but he refused.   Congress party state political affairs in-charge Digvijay Singh, who until now is playing a low profile, has suddenly came before media, only to say that he doesn’t know anything about ‘Rayala Telangana’ proposal, which in other words he is confirming that it is under serious consideration.   If it is actually intended to distract Congress rivals, then it is not serving its purpose instead it gives them an opportunity to highlight how it is rudely handling a very sensitive issue.   If Congress is expecting to bail itself out from bifurcation issue, by creating Rayala Telangana, then also it will definitely back fire at it, because larger section of the people are opposing this proposal.   If it is planning to cut down all its rivals, even then also it will not serve its purpose, because, it will provide weapons its rivals TRS, TDP, BJP and YCP to fight it out. If, all the political parties in the state are opposing this Rayala Telangana proposal, even if all the Congress leaders in the state agrees for it, Congress can’t afford to create it. Ultimately, any such proposal will help to wipe off the Congress from state and not its rivals.

The politics behind Tarun Tej Pal case

  Tarun Tej Pal, the founder Tehalka web portal, who tried to molest his subordinate few days ago at a hotel in Goa, has been summoned by the police for quizzing today. He was asked to attend before them at 3 pm. Goa police plans issue non-bailable arrest warrants against him, in case he fails to turn-up for interrogation. Tarun Tej Pal’s plea for anticipatory bail has been turned down by Delhi high court recently. So, it appears his arrest is inevitable.   However, the whole issue seems to have some political motivations also. Tehalka has blown-up the illegal practices of BJP leaders with its sting operation conducted during NDA regime and unearthed several scams in the later period. So, it is obvious that BJP hates Tehalka and its management. So, when this odd incident happens in the BJP ruled Goa led by its Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar, obviously it may not let Tehalka go out of its hook at any cost. So is the enthusiasm shown by Goa police.   However, Digvijay Singh replying to a media question said “As far as I know about Tarun Tej Pal, he is fighting against communal forces since a long time. But, can’t say what exactly happens behind. So, let the law take its own course.”   By his statement, it is understood that Congress has soft corner for him because he is fighting against its rival BJP. Let, the politics take their own twists but, Tarun Tej Pal indeed deserve due punishment, because he already admitted that he is guilty.

Is TDP going to oppose T-Bill?

  As the T-Bill is getting ready to hit the state Assembly any time after 28th of this month, the state political situation is also getting heated-up gradually. TDP, which is in dilemma over its stand on bifurcation, has stick to its ‘equal justice’ point until now. But, how it’s going to react on the t-Bill is a point of interest.   So far, there is a general belief that TDP will let it both regional leaders argue on behalf of their people. However, if we go through its President Chandrababu Naidu’s latest statement, we can understand that TDP is going to oppose Telangana bill in state Assembly.   Chandrababu said “We insist the Centre to strictly confine to constitutional procedures in the bifurcation process otherwise we will be obliged to fight against it both at state and center levels. We suggest the Centre not to try any short cuts in this process. It must take the endorsement of state Assembly for the T-bill. There is Article 371 (D) and (E) that need to be amended, before seeking approval of the T-Bill. Unless, the T-Bill ensures equal justice to both regions, we can’t support it. Hence, we warn the Centre not to take the people of the state for granted.”   If, TDP is going to oppose the T-Bill in the Assembly, then what would be the fate of its Telangana leaders? Can it afford to lose them or are they afford to stick to party, even when it opposes Telangana creation? What about Party's political and electoral chances in Telangana?
