I am requesting people to think on this deeply. If the gameplan is to declare statehood and then eventually claim "inability", then we must all wonder why the hell this elaborate game???
has anybody thought on those lines?!
My gut feel is that INC doesn't want to give T but want to keep it burning for another 5-6 years for to be capitalized in 2019 elections if things go wrong in 2014.
Until few days back the scenario was (possibility of t-state based on who wins)
BJP = 100%, NDA = 80%, 4th-front = 50%, UPA3 = 50%. What congress did is to declare that Congress = 100%. This took BJP option out of the scenario for t-vadis. However congress wants an escape route out, hence the 10 year common capital (why not finish it in 5 yrs, one term) gambit. This will ensure that depending on the situation in 2019 elections, congress can push forward the hyderbad issue to reap benefits in 2019.
INC's game plan, from the beginning, could be to force TRS to merge with it and go to 2014 elections. By 2019, KCR and his children can be made zeros (remember how everyone won elections except D Srinivas, the then APCC president?) and t-movement will be firmly in Congress's hands.
There is no 'permanent' benefit to congress if t-state forms. They will have to fulfill all asinine promises KCR and T-JAC made and if they fail, any other party is a fair game in Telangana in 2019. Those days of high entry barriers for a political party to be formed have gone and now many people have Rs. 100-200 crore needed to start a new party no go for elections, especially in a small state like Telangana.
That is why Congress is doing what it does best. Create an impression and demand political benefits before anything concrete happens on the ground. This is the case with every thing in India since 1947, be it literacy programs, secularism, rural development, 20-point program, NREGA and FSB. All congress does is to announce a program and throw money at it, that will reach only congress workers and not wider population.
It is trying to do the same rope trick in Seemandhra as well now, in view of month long protests. It's leaders (like Rayapati and KKR) are trying to create a propaganda of defiance in Andhra and most likely a new political party "samaikhyandra" will come in few days. All these games are to confuse the people and get as many seats as possible for congress-B teams; TRS, T-Congress, YSRCP, Samaikhyandra parties.
The only solution to it is to go to public with facts and details of this dubious game. That is what NM and CBN are trying to do.
Now CBN is throwing a challenge to telugu people. "Give me power and I will solve this problem in 1 year. If you don't give me power, many thanks to you and I will go home". Lets see how people will respond.
