Will Congress violate it’s CWC resolution and GoM it’s mandate, by offering Rayala-Telangana?

The media seems to be in an overdrive on how Rayala-Telangana is almost a reality and is coming out with various pros and cons for it though there is no statement or signal from either the GoM or union ministers that they have now went beyond the CWC resolution of granting Telangana with just the 10 districts. In fact, a week ago, Delhi media reported GoM said ‘No’ to both the UT and RayalaT proposals and as we approach the beginning of the winter session of Parliament, there seems to a deliberate leak in Delhi by planting the Rayala-Telangana idea in media’s midst.

It is clear GoM didn’t recommend Rayala Telangana simply because they considered increasing 119 assembly seats in Telangana to 153 and not the 2 districts of Rayalaseema. Similarly, the GoM’s mandate included special focus on development in residual Andhra Pradesh. Why would they abandon that instead think about including 2 of those backward districts in Telangana? And most importantly, the GoM has just enough time to work out the modalities for Telangana of 10 districts and not to ‘improvise’ and study the 2 districts of Rayalaseema to include them in Telangana. Beyond the GoM too, within Parliament, this would give the BJP enough reason to not cooperate on the bill. This would further discredit the Congress which didn’t stick to either its CWC resolution or it’s GoM’s mandate in carving the State in it’s greed to maximize it’s political mileage!

This leak could be a way to negotiate with TRS and Telangana Congressmen on the status of Hyderabad and Polavaram Project and extract promises from them.
