Telangana endorsed by UPA allies, Congress meeting on Andhra's fate begins

The ruling United Progressive Alliance (UPA) on Tuesday unanimously endorsed the creation of a separate state of Telangana.

"The UPA unanimously decided in favour of Telangana," RLD leader Ajit Singh told reporters after a meeting of the constituents of the ruling coalition at the residence of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
Replying to questions, there are "so many issues" but a decision was taken on Tuesday  in favour of Telangana.

The decision to clear the path for Telangana was taken at a meeting of the coordination committee of the UPA, sources told Hindustan Times. This meeting will be followed by a meeting of the Congress Working Committee (CWC)  where the party is expected to endorse the formation of Telangana state.

A formal announcement will be made after the CWC meeting. There was no clarity on the status of Hyderabad. There is a proposal to include two Rayalseema districts in Telangana.

Telangana state will comprise 10 districts with Hyderabad as its capital. The Congress leadership has reportedly dropped the proposal for Rayala-Telangana, comprising Rayalaseema and Telangana in view of strong opposition from leaders of both the regions. It is also understood to have given up the idea of union territory status to Hyderabad due to reservations by Telangana leaders.

The other state comprising Rayalaseema and Andhra regions is likely to retain the name Andhra Pradesh. Hyderabad is likely to be made joint capital of both the states for few years till Andhra Pradesh develops its own capital.

The BJP has charged the Congress with "dilly-dallying" on the issue and demanded that the UPA dispensation not just make an announcement but bring a bill on it in the monsoon session of Parliament.
"There has been a demand for giving statehood to Telangana with Hyderabad as the capital and an integral part of the state but Congress has been dilly-dallying on the issue. We do not know what it is going to do. Congress has betrayed the people of the region for the last 56 years," BJP spokesperson Prakash Javadekar said.
The remarks came even as Congress top brass is engaged in a series of discussions on the issue amid indications that an announcement is imminent.
"We reiterate our demand for Telangana. We don't want Congress to only make an announcement but also bring a bill in Parliament in the monsoon session," Javadekar said, adding that it will be passed by both Houses.
The BJP MP recalled that Congress had made an announcement in Parliament on December 9, 2009 that the process of formation of Telangana has begun. "Three and a half years have passed since then but nothing has been done. The government has betrayed the people," he said.

Congress leaders from Andhra and Rayalaseema regions had held closed-door meetings with Reddy on Monday in Hyderabad.

The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) has questioned why the Union government did not table the Srikrishna Committee's report on Telengana before the Parliament for discussion.
Srikrishna Committee on Telangana or the Committee for Consultations on the Situation in Andhra Pradesh (CCSAP) was a committee headed by former chief justice BN Srikrishna to look into the demand for separate statehood for Telangana or whether to keep Andhra Pradesh united in its present form.
TDP MLA Devineni Uma Maheswara Rao, who is also the party's Krishna district president demanded that the union government reveal the status of the report.
He alleged that the union government is preparing to take a unilateral decision without considering the pros and cons of bifurcating the state.
He also demanded that the union government must not take a decision against the wishes of the people of the Rayalaseema region.

3. Apart from Telangana, Andra Pradesh consists of two other parts namely Coastal Andra and Rayalaseema.

4. According to sources, violence that came along with the Telangana merger demand has consumed more than 1000 lives over last three years, which includes numerous cases of self immolation.

5. The sharing of the capital city Hyderabad had long been the bone of contention in the separation struggle.

6. Pro-Telangana people put forward a notion that 45% of the state income comes from Telangana but when it comes to utilization of funds, its share is only 28%.

7. Proponents of a separate Telangana state cite perceived injustices in the distribution of water, budget allocations, and jobs.

Telangana: Supporters of united Andhra Pradesh intensify protests

HYDERABAD: Supporters of united Andhra Pradesh on Monday intensified their protests in the Rayalaseema and coastal Andhra regions against the Congress leadership's reported proposal to divide the state.

The united Andhra protagonists held protests outside the residences or offices of Union ministers and ruling party MPs including D Purandeswari (Visakhapatnam), K S Rao (Eluru), L Rajagopal (Vijayawada) among others.

The students, employees and others staged a dharna in front of the residence of Union minister D Purandeswari and MP Sabbam Hari in Visakhapatnam.

A large number of students led by their joint action committee (JAC) held a sit-in at the main gate of Andhra University in Visakhapatnam and burnt an effigy of Congress leaders from coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema.

The united Andhra supporters protested outside the residence of Congress Lok Sabha member L Rajagopal in Vijayawada but they were prevented from entering his house.

In Kurnool, the protagonists of united Andhra Pradesh organized a sit-in near the district collector's office.

They planned to call for closure of educational institutions in the region tomorrow to protest the reported move to divide Andhra Pradesh.

Protests were also held in West Godavari (represented by Union minister K S Rao), Srikakulam and other districts in coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema regions.

Meanwhile, the UPA coordination committee will meet on July 31 to finalize its stand on the vexed Telangana issue amid indications from Congress that carving out a separate state out of Andhra Pradesh is a foregone conclusion and that complexities involved in the process will be adequately addressed.

Creation of Telangana: Details emerge, Hyderabad to be a Union territory

HYDERABAD: Hyderabad is likely to be a Union territory for five years and will act as joint capital of the two states to be created out of the bifurcation of the present Andhra Pradesh.

The Union territory will be administered by a lieutenant governor. The governor of the Telangana state will be the ex-officio lieutenant governor of Hyderabad in these five years. A proposal to this effect is going to be put up to the Union cabinet before August 5.

The cabinet will meet after the Congress working committee and the UPA steering group approves a proposal to bifurcate Andhra Pradesh. Highly placed sources privy to the proposals told TOI that the cabinet will also take a final call on whether to create Telangana or a Rayala-Telangana state. The former will consist of the ten districts of Telangana and the latter proposal envisages the addition of two Rayalaseema districts — Anantapur and Kurnool to the proposed Telangana state. Interestingly, the Andhra part of the bifurcated state will be called Andhra Pradesh.

Sources told TOI that Congress party bosses are hopeful of completing this process within a week because Parliament convenes for the monsoon session on August 6. A bill might be presented in this session itself. Meanwhile, with Kiran Kumar Reddy having already resigned, a new chief minister for integrated Andhra Pradesh to oversee the process of bifurcation will be appointed. In all likelihood the new incumbent will belong to Telangana. However with intelligence reports suggesting that there will be major trouble in the Seemandhra region in the wake of the announcement, it seems inevitable that President's rule will be clamped in the state till the process of bifurcation is complete. Much of the trouble is expected to be fomented by interested parties although spontaneous outpourings are not unexpected.

Highly placed sources told TOI that when Kiran Kumar Reddy called on Sonia Gandhi on Friday evening and told her that he could not preside over the process of bifurcation, the latter was very angry. She is believed to have asked him why he had kept quiet for such a long time giving the impression that he would go along with the high command. Kiran's resignation came at this meeting.

Sources told TOI that after meeting Sonia, Kiran flew back to Hyderabad and he has been 'extremely depressed' after that.

Seemandhra ministers including Union ministers who met Prime Minister on Saturday to convey their opposition to the bifurcation seemed crestfallen with Manmohan Singh hearing them out and promising nothing. However, the Seemandhra lobby has not lost heart because the last time round in 2009 it was Manmohan was instrumental in the government going back on its promise of creating a Telangana state after publically announcing the intent for doing so. They are expected to move the Prime Minister once again. The Seemandhra lobby is also hoping that with the Gorkhaland issue coming upfront some sections of UPA may help to stall the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh.

However, it seems doubtful if the upcoming session of Lok Sabha will be able to clear the Telangana bill. This is because the BJP which has already committed to Telangana may disrupt the proceedings of the house. One of the reasons is that the passage of the bill (which the BJP will be forced to support) will politically benefit the Congress.

The Congress thinking is that the bifurcation will put it in a vantage position in Telangana that has 17 Lok Sabha seats. With the Telangana Rashtra Samiti's unofficial nominees not performing well in the ongoing party less panchayat polls and the Congress's unofficial candidates doing well, has given hopes to the party.

Meanwhile more details about the meeting that Kiran Kumar had on Friday with Digvijaya Singh and Ghulam Nabi Azad are emerging. Sources say that Kiran and Azad had a virtual slanging match with the former accusing Ghulam of coming up with the proposal of Rayala Telangana. Kiran found the proposal to be highly objectionable.

Pope Francis: No Masks at Mass in Brazil

 

There will be no masks at Mass this year in Rio de Janeiro when Pope Francis pays a visit for World Youth Day.     Protesters are reportedly planning a demonstration during the pope’s upcoming visit to the city for the event — which actually lasts through the week. Demonstrators took to the streets earlier this week burning trash and looting stores, demanding the impeachment of the state governor who has been a target of rallies since June. And authorities are especially worried of a potential repeat of June’s football Confederations Cup, when hundreds of thousands of protesters wore Guy Fawkes masks and demanded better public services.  Citizens also expressed anger over the rising cost to stage the World Cup in 2014. The country reportedly spends billions of dollars on tournaments while its citizens bear the brunt of insufficient hospitals and underfed schools.     The “Anonymous” masks have become a global symbol of protests. Carnival mask makers in the area have reportedly been scrambling to meet the demands for the masks since the anti-government demonstrations began. More than one million people are expected at Tuesday's Mass, which will be policed by 7,000 troops. And, yes, attendees apparently planned to wear masks.     International Business Times reports “ ... enterprising businesses in Rio have already manufactured masks bearing the image of the 266 th pope, in the hopes that these souvenirs will be gobbled up by the two million people expected to come from all over the world to attend the holy event.”    The BBC reports nearly 35,000 security officials are expected to help keep any mask wearers out of the event, but the head of the security force said there will be no attempt to stifle protests so long as they are peaceful.

Rescue Vehicle Killed Asiana Plane Crash Victim

 

The 16-year-old girl run over by a fire vehicle after the Asiana Airlines Flight 214 crash was alive before it hit her.   The San Mateo County coroner confirmed Ye Meng Yuan survived the plane crash only to die on the runway afterward. It’s not clear how many emergency response vehicles hit her.  Last week, police and fire officials both confirmed Yuan was hit by at least one of the vehicles. But her cause of death wasn’t confirmed until today. When Yuan’s body was found, it was on the ground and covered in foam that rescuers had sprayed on the burning wreckage … Rescuers discovered her body in the tire track when the truck moved. Yuan’s body was found near the plane’s left wing. But she had been seated on the back of the plane — along with the other two students who died in the crash.   The concern is  how did she get there? Was she ejected from the aircraft, and somehow walked over toward the area where she was run over? Was her body dragged over there? It’s unknown. The investigation of the crash itself is ongoing.

Dubai Paying Residents in Gold to Lose Weight

 In a perhaps desperate effort, the city of Dubai is offering gold as an incentive for people to lose weight. Yes, gold. Here’s how it works.   “A new campaign called ‘You are worth your weight in gold.’ Every person who participates gets one gram of gold for about every 2 pounds he or she loses.”    The program lasts for 30 days and is open to the public.   The top three people to lose the most weight will be awarded with a gold coin worth at least $5,000. People must lose at least 4.4 pounds to get the payout, but there are no restrictions for how much they can get.  New York Daily News  reports one gram of gold is worth about $45. So if you drop 5 pounds, that’s the equivalent of $225 in your pocket.  The program was organized to fight rising obesity rates in the United Arab Emirates. Similar health-focused programs have been successful in the past. ” NBC  reports in worldwide obesity rankings, the UAE, which includes Dubai and six other emirates, is in the top 10 with 30.2 percent of males and 43 percent of women considered obese. Analysts blame common culprits too little exercise and unhealthy diets.   The World Health Organization also predicts by 2030, the rate of diabetes in the UAE could rise to 19.3 percent.  A similar health initiative took place in Dubai in 2011. That program offered people prizes such as cars for losing weight.  The gold-for-lost-pounds challenge ends Aug. 16.
