commission (Sundar Ramaiah commission – 1979)

Telangana power supply and distribution, never to Andhra or Rayalaseema
region. Higher officials found guilty by Vimal Lal commission, the

76) Technically it is possible to develop water grid to benefit Telangana,
Rayalaseema and Andhra regions – it would match in comparison with
Mississippi river water system (USA), Three Gorges river system (China),
Nile river (Aswan dam) Africa and Rhine river system Europe. Similar models
were conceived by intellectuals but are trashed by Andhra rulers and pseudo
intellectuals because they will benefit Telangana.

scrapped within 6 months. Than 8-point formula, 5-point formula were

times, robbing Telangana its rightfulness.
78) Nagarjuna Sagar initially meant to benefit Andhra and Telangana. Later on it
is modified in such a way that 75% of the benefit is accruing to Andhra
reducing the share of Telangana region to just 25%. Andhra settlers

79) Singur project was originally designed to meet primarily the irrigation needs
of Medak and Nizamabad districts. But it is now solely used for meeting the
requirements of capital city.
80) Jurala Project which is the first project on river Krishna meant for Telangana,
is the smallest of all the projects built on this river. The Bachawat Tribunal
allocated just 17.5 TMC ft. water for this project, and the state government
reduced its storage capacity to 60% ft. But the actual utilization so far has not
been more than 10%
81) Rajolibanda Diversion Scheme, was to irrigate 87500 acres in
Mahabubnagar. The Bachawat Tribunal also allocated 15.90 TMC ft. of water
for this project. This water has to pass through a canal in Raichur district of
Karnataka State. After the formation of Andhra Pradesh landlords of
Rayalaseema blasted the gates with bombs and diverted water to their land.
Since then Govt never even tried to reconstruct the gates.
82) Devadula Project, provides water for 5 lakh acres, was promised to be
finished in 5 yrs in 2001, yet to begin work. The funniest fact is, Sriram sagar
is yet to be completed for last 40 yrs which provides water for just 4 lakh
acres. Telangana people are supposed to believe the promise.
83) Two major projects proposed on river Godavari are Ichampally and
Polavaram. Ichampally is meant for Telangana and Polavaram for Andhra.
The irrigation potential of Polavaram Project would be 6 to 7 times more than
the irrigation potential of Ichampally. Ichampally is going to be primarily a
power project not a irrigation project !
84) Andhra lands are irrigated by canal irrigation i.e. with tax payer’s money.
Andhra farmer pays Rs 200 - 300 per annum as water charges. Telangana
lands are irrigated by bore wells, entire cost is on the farmer . Digging, power,
bore well, motor, pipes. He struggles with fluctuations in power supplies with
irregularities and pathetic power distribution pattern in Telangana.
85) Technological University was actually started in Warangal but was shifted to

Committee in different parts of Telangana have been abruptly closed down
showing lack of funds as a reason.

gone to Telangana. But the total number of jobs now occupied by them is
less than 3 lakhs.
89) 1972, PV Narasimha Rao made an attempt to implement the verdict of
Supreme Court validating the Mulki Rules. The verdict was in favor of
Telangana. Seemandhra gave outrageous reaction, he lost his
Chief Ministership.
90) If it is assumed that the leaders of a region becoming chief ministers can
contribute to the development of that region, then why do the people of
Rayalaseema complain of backwardness ?
91) Daily wage workers working in industries – from Andhra (9 districts) 3.16
lakhs, from Rayalaseema (4 districts)– 0.7 lakhs, Telangana (10 district)
0.81 lakhs.
92) Andhra controlled media never highlighted migration of 15 lakh people out
of 24lakh population from Mahabubnagar due to draught conditions.
T. Anjaiah CM of AP from Telangana region was presented as a buffoon in
dailies and cartoons.
93) At the time of merger Andhra leaders persuaded Telangana leaders by
offering many safeguards against exploitation. They also passed a
Unanimous Resolution’ in November 1955 in Andhra Assembly in support of
safeguards and subsequently they put these safeguards in an Agreement on
20th February. 1956 which is known as “Gentlemen’s Agreement”. All are
trashed soon after the agreement is signed.
94) Proportional representation says Telangana should get 42% jobs in the
Secretariat, but only 9% are working now. How can a people representative,
MLA, MLC can get a work done if 91% do not help ?
95) Metro Rail project is being designed dilapidating 5000 shops, 2500 houses,
147 schools, 120 hospitals, 60 Temples/Masjid/Churches. Historical
monuments will disappear. All shops and complexes throughout Metro rail
route are with Seemandhra thugs.
96) 1947 India got Independence. 1948 Indian Army did police action to
dethrone Nizam. Hyd state existed from 1949 to 1956. Telangana merged with
Andhra against its wishes in1956. Telangana has nothing to do with Potti
Sriramulu.
97) Telangana Sayudha Poratam, (Telangana armed struggle) was against
Nizam facist rule, 4000 people died - inspired all subsequent land movements
in West Bengal, Kerala and Tripura and paved way for formation of
Communist governments in those States. This is never acknowledged by
Seemandhra rulers so far.
98) Despite 69% Krishna, 79% Godavari flows through Telangana, irrigation cost
is Rs.1500/acre. 13% of Krishna, 21% Godavari flows through Andhra
irrigation cost is Rs.150/acre.
99) Per capita income of Madhya Pradesh: Rs 18,051. Chattisgarh formed in
2000. Per capita income of Chhattisgarh in 2008-09 - Rs. 29,621. Recently
formed smaller states are catching up with Haryana is 71%, Himachal is 81%
and Uttarakhand is 75% - now Jharkhand 58%, Chhattisgarh 63%. Also, Infant
mortality UP 67%, Uttarakhand 44%.
100) Yr 2008 Targeted growth rate & achieved: bigger states: MP 7% - 4.3%;
UP 7.6% - 4.6%; Bihar 6.2% 4.7%
smaller states: Chhattisgarh 6.1% - 9.2%; Jharkhand 6.9% - 11.1%
Uttaranchal 6.8% - 8.8%
101) Since 1956 to date, the additional irrigation potential created in Telangana is
only 5%
102) There are 10,000+ Industrial units in Telangana, 1200 are owned by
Telanganites, 6500 are owned by Seemandhra, rest are by outsiders.
103) Proportionally Telangana should be given about 43% in budget allocation,
Since 1953, it never exceeded 30%. Yet Telangana contributes 42% of
revenue to the state exchequer.
104) Nizamsagar was built in 1931 to serve Nizamabad and Medak about 2.7
lakh acres of land. It was neglected for maintenance and improvements,
now satellite images prove that all its 83 tributaries, 243 distributaries have
been silted up and eroded. World bank sanctioned 30 crores for the project,
which was never spent. The project now going to be almost useless.
105) In Andhra region every year two crops are cultivated because of water
availability, in Telangana a single crop will be cultivated with great
difficulty.
106) Technical institutions wise, 26 are in Telangana, 54 are in Andhra. 20
polytechnics in Telangana, 70 in Andhra. 2 Medical colleges in
Telangana, 6 in Andhra.
107) British build Railways, Administrative Services, Post and Telegraph,
installed democratic institutions, judiciary, rule of law, and built the cities of
Kolkata, Mumbai and Chennai, and New Delhi. British did not claim any of
these when they had to leave India. Seemandhra are making big hue and
cry clamoring for Hyderabad claiming they have built the city. In 400 yrs of
Hyderabad history, how many years did they contribute the 'development' ?
108) Hyderabad - demographic expansion can never be considered as a
development. It’s natural growth. It is like a girl who is 10 yrs now will
attain 15yrs of age after 5 yrs – can we call it development ? Also, its
not just Hyd which is developed … all big/medium cities in India are in
development path.
