The Telangana Report

"Divide and Rule" was how the British broke India. And this is exactly a policy which seems to be capturing thr imagination of the Congress strategists. The recent example being the Srikrishna Commission report on Telangana's statehood. More than resolving the issue statehood and the aspirations of people, the Congress is busy charting out its political calculations. The Commission was appointed to study the issue and come out with the best possible solution and help the indecisive UPA Government to help come out with a decision . But instead of doing so, it seems the Commission has come out with multiple options (allowing the Congress to select one which is best suitable for maximum electoral benefits). For God's sake why can't the Congress realize that this is not a crorepati game-show but reality. If it wanted to know what were the options available, they could have simply invited a few politically conscious undergraduate students for knowing the options rather than wasting crores of public money and more importantly - 365 days.
