Open Letter to KCR  

To Mr K Chandra Sekhar Rao,

You were initially part of Telugu Desam party.  But your capabilities and policies were not giving you enough importance and even a recognizable place in the party.  So one fine day you woke up to an idea that you will insist on something different.  You captured the otherwise sleeping concept ‘Telangana’ and accordingly came out of Telugu Desam.  But what did you do for ‘Telengana’ so far?  “NOTHING”!  In 2004 you became the Cabinet Minister for Labor and Employment.  But what did you do at that time, that too with powers, to ‘Telangana’? “NOTHING”!

Your contribution was so glaring and appreciable that the same ‘Telangana’ people did not even give correct recognition in these recent elections.  This apart you were not at all confident of winning any seats in Greater Hyderabad elections which can be seen clearly from your abstaining from elections.  Without any contribution to the people, without any voice, without any past achievements, you just wanted to gain some political mileage that you went on a saline supported fasting, the drama which your friends in the centre made good use of to disturb the entire state.  God knows what they gain out of this.  But you Mr KCR, do not have any ethical values or emotional sentiments. The whole Andhra Pradesh state is now unnecessarily burning, certainly not to split but to be united. 

What do you really understand as a state?  Are you so knowledgeable and sentimentally attached than Potti Sriramulu who fought for creating a language based partition?  You are infact dividing the well knit community and creating a kind of enmity among them.  All the Telugu speaking people have all along been so united and contributing to the development of the state.  Do you not know that Kurnool was supposed to be the capital of AP?  But the same Rayalaseema people supported Hyderabad’s being a capital and developed it.   Are you now trying to repay them with a treacherous attitude? 

After all for a political importance and occupying a chair, you have created such a disturbance in the city.  Are you going to pay for the lost lives, the lost materials, the lost property and the innumerable losses amounting to crores?  Do you know it is some hooligans who are rioting taking advantage of your incompetence?  Do not ever try to separate the united AP and infuse hatred among people otherwise the people of Andhra Pradesh will never forgive you.
