F Andhra Entertainment : ‘T’ Movement - Mission to Claim Political Supremacy

‘T’ Movement - Mission to Claim Political Supremacy

By sy on 12:44:00 PM
Hyderabad, May 2: “Power is not a means it is an end. One does not establish a political power in order to safeguard a revolution. One makes the revolution to establish political power” Ironically, the political masters and the TPJAC, a platform of intellectual cahoots that have been leading the “Telangana movement” (the Ultimate War for Telangana & a revolution of its own kind) began to safeguard their political powers at the cost of the movement. In the process, they turned the movement which has been spiraling out to be a ground swell of peoples’ sentiment into a show of an extended and a brazen form of an ordinary “political confrontation” that one comes across day in day out among the political class. In the process they are unashamedly engaged in slugfest in trying to establish a political power in the guise of championing the ongoing Telangana movement. Instead of consolidating the movement to establish political power, they are engaged in political slugfest to claim the authority over it. As a result the very existence of TJAC has become doubtful with its two main constituents TRS and BJP pulling it in different directions. The TRS wants to send the BJP out of the joint action committee which has been spearheading the Telangana Movement after branding it as a communal party. Not satisfying with that KCR, TRS supremo even wants to throw out Kodandaram from TPJAC who hitherto been known as a religiously sincere marionette of KCR. It appears that the subservient Kodandaram has suddenly become a thing of allergy to KCR. The whole game plan of both the main Telangana protagonist parties is to hog unrivalled domination over Telangana movement so as to consolidate the Telangana vote in their favour. In the process they gave a new dimension to political equations in Telangana region subjecting the Telangana protagonists into confusion and tearing TPJAC asunder. Aware of TRS' game plan, the BJP is working hard to spread its roots wide and deep in the region to become a force to reckon with, and is leveraging heavily on its national party's image and its commitment to the Telangana cause. With the Parkal by-election round the corner, the TRS wants to execute its plan to expel the BJP out of TJAC and thus gain electoral advantage in the by-election which the BJP is also fighting. The TRS is worried about the growing strength of the BJP and wants to clip the saffron party's wings so that it could not pose a threat to its own existence. On the other hand, wanting to play its cards carefully, the BJP is ready to face the TRS but wants to remain in the TJAC to derive political benefit. It plans to take the help of other Telangana organisations to check the growing clout of the TRS with TJAC. Once again the sentiments and aspirations of Telangana people seemed to have become a plaything for politicians. The sudden turnaround and decision of leadership to tear TPJAC asunder to hog the political domination indicated a “movement failed and politics won situation”. The Ultimate war for Telangana suddenly became a mission to reclaim political supremacy and became an unwelcome distraction from real cause. The movement instead of becoming an instrument to achieve Telangana has turned out to be an ocean of chaos. If the latest developments are any indication, the progress of an emotionally appealing movement suddenly morphed into a new election platform for politicians. The movement has become a battle to be waged before media cameras as it is more of scoring political points. Its impetus, it seems did not spring from the inchoate and deeper sentiment of the people, but much from the imperatives of electoral politics. There seemed to be nothing transcendent and epochal about the self styled Ultimate war, it is more of inspiring the voters and messianic rhetoric of its leadership. History has a fascinating way of playing with the human beings in ways they themselves are unable to comprehend. History once again proved that it can be repeated, Telangana people are playing their roles on the stage of current Telangana movement without knowing that their actions can draw parallel to the long forgotten actors who left the same stage, while the character of the politicians leading the present movement in many ways seemed to be relics of compromise witnessed on the same stage in 1969.
