Telangana JAC leader M. Kodandaram declared the JAC’s intention to form sub committees to deliberate on the issues faced by the newborn State, and place the solutions arrived thereof before the government.
The future course of the JAC’s action towards Telangana’s reconstruction will be decided in the State Congress of Telangana Vidyavanthula Vedika to be conducted soon, Prof. Kodandaram said, while speaking at the State-level meet of the Telangana Jana Samithi here on Saturday. The meet was organised to discuss whether the government could measure up to the Telangana people’s aspirations.
Prof. Kodandaram stressed that Telangana’s reconstruction should inherit its momentum from the Telangana movement. Noting that the bifurcation process was not yet finished and that the influence of the Andhra corporate lobby could still be felt, he reminded that the Telangana people had voted for a welfare State and democratic policies even while corporate politics won in the whole country in the recent elections. Recalling that the previous regimes in united Andhra Pradesh chose corporate classes over people, which affected the marginalised severely, Prof. Kodandaram said every section of the Telangana society had come together to oppose corporate domination during the separate statehood movement.
Academician Bhangya Bhukya from the University of Hyderabad spoke on the deterioration of education in Telangana and said the quality of human resources was very poor in the State due to the loss of an entire generation to poor educational standards. Dr. Gopinath from Telangana Jana Samithi and Rama Narasimha Rao from CPI criticised the government for reneging on election promises.
