Why not explain these poor people that as they repeatedly state that Telangana is must but it will take time. For example you have asked a friend to join your room as the rent was too high so the rent will be divided equally by both. Suddenly he did some thing wrong or he talked bad about you to your friend he came to know about it and you wanted him to vacate immediately. How is it possible? You have to wait till he gets another room or till he gets his salary for that month… And first of all he has the right to ask you about the reason for this sudden decision.
He has the right to call the owner of the house and his own people to discuss the situation and in between if you call your parents and they started hunger strike or if you go out side and started making a big scene …All the so called educationists and leaders and artists etc., what they are doing…
Mr K Iliayaa was right in asking about why the small people should resign? Do any one give a patta or sign an agreement that once the state is formed that small time village head will be given MLA ticket? Who has got the authority and who is working under whom, The congress leaders are burning their boat and where they go? Where are the old leaders? Where are the proprietors of overgrown tutorials? Where they have gone…
These people created a scene by which the fruit vendor is thinking that from 28th January he need not sell fruits as he can get a job at Secretariat. My milk man is asking me about where they can get job? In Banks? At Hi Tech city or at GHMC.
The government has a duty here to change this perception and stop the suicides… They should allow the opposite party to talk about their point of view so the common man will come to a conclusion that there is still a dispute and it will take time…
