** Telengana & India **

I do not have any opinion on whether Telengana is a necessity or not - but, the manner in which it is being forced out is not good for the future of this nation. I really do not see this trend reversing !! It is sad that the vote base has become the sole criteria for our politicians. Interest of nation and its well being has taken a back seat. In the near future, lot of local politicians, in their ambition to become a Chief Minister of a State, are going to seek separate State for themselves. Politician, Mr Chandrashekara Rao, may even go on to become the Chief Minister of the new Telengana and don't be surprised if he becomes the "Father of Telengana" - but what he has done to this nation, I think, is unpardonable. There are lot of voices already being heard from different parts of the country seeking a separate state - including a few in Tamil Nadu. This is definitely a worrying trend.

Well, there is a section of people who believe that by dividing and splitting a large State - administration and growth prospects can be improved. In India, given the nature of our 'politicians' - growth and welfare are going to be last on the list. With more ministers and officials, number of people who loot public money will increase !! More money will be wasted on construction of Govt infrastructure - thus more bribes - more loots - more kick backs !!!

The way this Congress Govt is dealing with all these regional chauvinism is sickening. They are silent when it comes to the atrocities that Raj Thackeray commits - because he is dividing Sena votes and helping Congress!! They are not able to put their foot down and take a firm action against leaders who seek divisionism !! They are not able to show even slightest of guts to China which dictates whether roads can be built in Indian territory or not!! They are not able to take firm against naxalites and Maoists!! They are not able to talk firm when regional leaders support banned organisations!! They are not able to put things in right perspective when some politicians, with vote bank politics in mind, talk of giving citizenship to refugees. Nothing is more important than the stingless, pointless and clueless report - because that helps to show themselves as saviours of Muslim communit !! Ah... so much for Governance !!!
