What provisio of constitution is he violating? There's a sense of patriotism you nurture for T. That makes you speak in ways that undoes your otherwise rational thought process. So, chill, and let people of T decide what's good for them as they have done by unequivocally electing the founding father of T, Mr. KCRAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21825668.post-13020193812473931692018-12-11T14:05:01.120+05:302018-12-11T14:05:01.120+05:30Finally you're back.

CBN is pulling out all stops to ensure that his party is alive. Let the people of Telangana send TDP packing, but none of us can deny CBN the right to campaign in the state. I hope you would agree with me on this point if you and I want to live in a pluralistic Telangana. You begin with the premise that whatever CBN does is opposed to Telangana's interests. If that is the case, let us wage a consistent battle for our interests within the existing political and judicial system. Why are we exalting CBN's power so much (even its negative aspect)?<br /><br />Also, all this criticism is a bit rich and it smacks to me as an apologia for TRS. The ruling TRS has poached TDP's MLAs and many Ministers in its cabinet are from the TDP. It is almost like an old boys' club for ex-TDP politicos. So, read your post once again and spend a moment reflecting on its weak argument (a train wreck really starting with the Jayalalitha comparison). There is nothing arrogant about CBN campaigning in Telangana. In fact, the ruling TRS (and sadly you) are being arrogant in decrying his right to campaign. There is a sizeable proportion of people in Telangana (I am not one) who believe in CBN, just as there is broad swathe of people who believe in KCR. Let the Telangana society decide. I trust the electorate to do what is right.<br /><br />By the way, you brought in threats to "subvert" or "undermine" democracy in Telangana. I am afraid you are sounding too biased. Why such paranoia and outrage? Democracy is not you and me. Let the people of Telangana decide.<br /><br />Best,<br />JaredJared Diamondhttp://jareddiamond.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21825668.post-40834379475819569742018-12-05T00:15:05.323+05:302018-12-05T00:15:05.323+05:30Sujai, Do you know history properly? Bhadrachalam ...Sujai, Do you know history properly? Bhadrachalam revenue division was part of earst while east Godavari district, it was not part of HYD state before 1956 and it was merged with Khammam in 1959 for convienience, so ideally they should be back to Andhra but bhadrachalam is still with TG except few mandals. Why cribbing, it was with AP before anyway? Also anyone in India can contest elections anywhere and its up to people to decide. River water disputes will be there not among states but districts and even mandals.Your argument that TDP shouldn't contest TG elections is undemocratic and against the constitution of India. <br />Also your comparison with KA and TN with TS/AP is wrong. DMK/DMK of TN doesn't have cadres and base in KA (may be a few sympathisers) and also JDU has not base in TN but TDP has base in TG not among settlers, also among BC voters (their strength may come down). TG sentiment is valid till 2014 only until statehood. From 2014, TRS should tell what DEV it did and counter Naidu's arguments not using stupid sentiment but by their work. How different they are compared to previous regimes? What all promises they fullfilled?<br /><br />Anyway AP/TS division is done and Naidu can't change even if TDP comes to powerKumarnoreply@blogger.com
