Separation of Andhra Pradesh – Issues pertaining to state Capital Role of Congress: It is very unfortunate that the Congress party took such a hasty step of declaring the separation of Telengana from Andhra Pradesh. It is clearly visible & obvious that the step was taken to get political gains over BJP in Centre & YSRCP, TRS & TDP in AP & Telangana. The logical steps such as deliberations on Srikrishna committee report, formation of SRC, intellectual brain storming on possible repercussions, water distribution, and issues related to nervous centre of united AP i.e., Hyderabad, many such issues are being completely ignored.   Illogical approach: We cannot compare Telangana separation issue with previous states separation happened in the year 2000. At that time Jharkhand was separated from Bihar, Chhattisgarh from Madhya Pradesh & Uttaranchal from Uttar Pradesh. Unfortunately this was also done in a hasty manner as it was suiting all political parties ...

AP State Separation - Property Rights Issues Andhra Pradesh  got  separated  into  two states on 2nd June, 2014. Even after one year of the separation,  the issues related to assets and its allocation etc is not clear and ambiguous. A sort of unpleasant  situation is being developed and things are not very clear for both states.  GOI who was instrumental in the separation of the state, has to get into the depth of the state reorganization bill and ensure that equal justice is done . As it was clearly stated in reorganization bill, Hyderabad will be the integral part of Telangana & AP have to look for suitable place for capital and GOI will suitably support AP in capital building exercise. AP is given the opportunity of having their capital in Hyderabad for a period of 10 years & GHMC jurisdiction is declared as common capital area. Andhra Pradesh  was established as a new state in the year 1956 by combining Hyderabad state wi...

AP STATE SEPARATION - COMMON MAN'S PERSPECTIVE 1. It's very unfortunate that the state is divided into two, against the wishes of the majority of the people living in combined state. 2. As all of us are aware that both national parties leading NDA & UPA  were interested in the separation for their own reasons. 3. Though there were states bifurcations earlier, the AP division was unique in the sense it was not approved in state assembly and there was no serious debate in parliament and the whole process was completed in hurry for the reasons better known to both national parties. 4. For this we have to blame our own MPs representing the state in both houses of parliament, the weak leadership prevailed at state level and double standard opposition parties. In nutshell the entire political system failure resulted state separation. 5. Whether we like it or not, we have to live with the fact and adjust with reality. 6. AP division is a very peculiar cas...

Doing Good  -How difficult it is? A group of experts were entrusted with  a task of  studying an  agro based industry in cooperative sector  & recommend the strategies in the interest of industry and farmers.  One of member who is good at out of box thinking, could smell some rot and gone deep into the system and found that the catch is not rat & its blood tasted lion and the nefarious activity is goes on for over 3 years. The modus operandi  is shared with the decision makers. They being  sincere  and straightforward, the huge drain to exchequer is put to control. As one of the members of the committee has strong links with vested interest group, he was unhappy and put pressure on the particular member & the group and even tried to make the committee dysfunctional.  The members resisted the action, as they felt  the positive impact and effectiveness of the committee.  The result of doing good is strains i...

Role of Parliament- Can we offered to dilute it? (Thought of the day- 25.07.2015) India, the world's largest democracy elects 543 Lok Sabha members through direct voting  & 243 Rajya Sabha  members (Intellectuals, Experts, public figures) through indirect voting. These two August houses are the highest bodies of this noble country and shall be treated on far with most religious pilgrimages.   The role of Parliament is  more important in democratic country like India, when compare to other forms. The main role of these institutions are to discuss, debate, deliberate & make policies & bills, amendments to constitution, analyze the public  issues, give direction to the country. It was given to understand that when we were budding democracy, there used to be more serious debates on issues , policies etc and ethics were maintained. With aging of democracy, the wisdom should prevail and more mature discussions are expected. But unfortunat...

Transparency in Political System - Importance of Pubic Interventions (Thought of the day- 24.07.2015) It is good to know that BJP is trying to expose Congress Chief ministers- Uttarkhand &  Himachal Pradesh and Congress brought out issues in MP, Maharashtra and Rajasthan, other than Mrs. Susma Swaraj issue related to Lilith Modi. It is evident that the truth will come out only when political rivalry comes to boiling point. What is happening with our constitutionally protected executive system. Why are they silent and allow things to happen against the principles. Is the political system prevailing over them or  they are also hand in glove with political system? Role of public is important here. We are 120 crores strong nation with so many social activists, wishful thinking  individuals, advocates, intellectuals, NGOs etc. Thanks to technology with no or very low cost we can communicate and reach out to trillions of people. We have democratic weapons l...
