Congress has carefully leaked into media that GoM is examining the RayalaTelangana proposal. The GoM itself was constituted as per Cabinet’s approval for carving out Telangana and not RayalaTelangana. However, it’s terms of reference didn’t mention the number of districts unlike the CWC resolution which stated a 10 district Telangana. This has given the GoM the leeway to propose several ideas, one which according to the PTI report is a RayalaTelangana proposal.
TRS called for a bandh on 5th Dec and Telangana is getting into agitation mode again to fight this proposal getting finalized into the AP Reorganization Bill. If indeed electoral seats are what Congress is aiming at, it should be clear to them by the response they got till now, that they would get nothing out of RayalaTelangana. It is unlikely that Congress doesn’t know the pitfalls of this proposal and maybe is considering the proposal as a trial balloon or as a diversionary tactic for getting the Telangana bill sail through AP assembly process. However, Telangana activists are not taking any chances and have already declared an action program starting with protest rallies all across Telangana on 4th and a Telangana bandh on 5th. Telangana gets into agitation mode again!
