Edukotla Andhrula Atma Gauravam

It is disgusting to hear YSR, saying that the issue of separate statehood for Telangana would be decided by Sonia Gandhi. The State Congress Chief even says that “she would be the ultimate word on it.”

Irrespective of the outcome, can someone please tell me who is she to decide. Does she belong to this place? Did she win an election from here? Is she aware of the history of this region? Or can she atleast spell “Telangana” without looking into a prepared text?

Shame on the CM and rest of the Sonia Sycophants a.k.a Congress legislators. You are worse than those who fall at the feet of Amma. Unlike you, atleast, they don’t sell themselves to an outsider.

Worse. The party founded on the premise of restoring aarukotla andhrula atma gauravam, is totally silent on this shameless outsourcing. Neither are those who raised hue and cry over her Italian origins.

They might be in favour of Congress’ refusal to grant a separate Telangana. But that doesn’t mean that they should be mute spectators of a political party transferring the mandate given by people to someone who cannot even speak their language.

Attaboy...well said CM
The Sonia factor is the biggest farce in today's politics in my humble opinion.

@ Mutrupulli (I like that nick)

The irony is that where it should work, the farce doesn't work.... Sonia cant get her party the number of seats which independents have in UP assembly... a state to which she claims to be connected..

i've often pondered over this..you make a very relevant point.. something that must be in everyone's mind ..but isn't being articulated by political parties.

more than the congress.. i find the adherence of the trs to the very same premise - that sonia gandhi would be the ultimate arbiter on the issue is more objectionable..the congress, as we know, has steadily undermined the principle of democracy in its own organisation since after independence (a process which has been adopted by other parties) and dismantled the multi-layered structure that constituted the party..and supplanted it with a crude feudalistic arrangement based on 'loyalty' and 'largesse' .. i guess, the trs composed as it is of a certain erstwhile feudal classes and half-literate, ambitious subalterns finds it very convenient to tell the gullible rural populace that this is how things are done in this country - certain individuals are more important than institutions and ..can overrule/override institutions and institutional processes ..therefore, sonia can 'give' telangana..and 'kcr' can bring telangana.

this narrative appeals to the hoi polloi ..because it matches their own limited understanding of how things are done..(and given telangana's feudal history, how things were done).

totally? But did I ever remember him?

Speaking about telangana history, I wish you write more on that. I know you have a lot in your archives but every time I decide to start from the beginning I end up at the "oppressor’s lair".

May be if you write now, I wouldn’t miss them.
