A Question

                                                A Question

         I am just posing a question to all BJP supporters and more particularly to Modi`s supporters with regard to stand taken by the BJP in Lok Sabha on TELANGNA issue.
         Telangna issue was hanging fire for the last 60 yrs.In the last 10 yes.the issue had taken a new hight when UPA had promised in its manifesto in 2004 to create the state.Aspirations ran very high when Chandrasekhar Rap,TRS chief joined the UPA government but when found that UPA was evading creation of state walked out of the government,he undertook fast unto death which was broken when again assurance was given.Osmania University students took to streets and paralyzed Hyderabad.Vigorous consultation process was undertaken by UPA with various groups.Justice Srikrishna Commission was set up to consider the issue.The Commission examined all the parties and gave some way out in its report but did not give clear finding that Telangana should be formed.Once the then Home Secretary even announced the decision the formation of state but quickly the steps were retraced.Lot of confusion prevailed till UPA firmly made all its vote bank calculation and came to the conclusion that if state is not formed,it is going to be completely wiped out from Andhra.
             When Narendra Modi spoke in Hyderabad rally,he unequivocally supported the cause of Telangana whole heartedly and lambasted central government from dithering away from the issue.
         Jagan Mohan Reddy of YSR Congress,Chandrababu Naidu of TDP and even Chief Minister of A.P.Kiran Reddy started opposing formation of Telangana and pleaded for unified Andhra.Protests,Bandhs and other mode of resentments were resorted in Seemandhra region.Government started preparing to move into the directions.
          Andhra Assembly rejected the motion of the President in the Assembly by voice vote.
           Now the question is,is BJP right in supporting the creation of Telangana.BJP have always drawn flak in parliamentary election from South except from Karnataka.Congress was planning to shake hand with TRS in Telangana to corner 17 seats from Telangana region,supporting Chandrasekhar Rao of TRS helping formation of his government in Telangana.Congress also planned to allign with Jagan Mohan Reddy of YSR Congress to corner some seats from Seemandhra region.If BJP had not supported the Bill in Lok Sabha,Congress would have had run away with 100% credit on formation of state.Probably,keeping in view to occupy some space in both regions,BJP supported the move.If on opposition of BJP,Telangana Bill had fallen,still Congress would have painted BJP as villain of peace.In Assembly election too the space would have been filled by Congress.Now when Congress-TRS hold one pole in Assembly election,BJP can take the place of opposition.In Parliamentary election too,all seats may not go to Congress-TRS combinations and BJP may garner some seats from Telangana region as BJP would also gain some sympathy and get some seats.
             In Seemandhra region too,BJP is trying to tie up with TDP and contest.In any case,TDP will never allign with Congress and YSR Congress and BJP is always a natural ally of TDP.
          To my mind,BJP has taken a correct stand to support creation of Telangana and add to its tally some seats from A.P.I will be delighted if some BJP supporter educate me if BJP should have taken a contrary stand.I am not on merits or demerits of demand made by Telangana region or whether A.P should have remained united.
