 61)  WHO declared Nalgonda district affected with fluorisis so much that it is moving                 towards No Man Zone.

 62)  While merging, Andhra leaders agreed to continue Mulki rules in Telangana. As per this 100% employees in Telangana should be from Telangana only.

 63) Nizam formulated mulki rules in 1919, a person to get job in they must be Telangana  from 15yrs,but now Andhra rulers reduced the period to 4yrs. 64)  Seemandhrites got 28000 jobs in Telangana by getting bogus mulki certificates between 1956-1968.

 73)  Samaikya Andhra love for Hyderabad is like Pakistan’s love for Kashmir. They are ready to go to  any extent to capture it.

 74) Kothagudem thermal power station sabotaged on purpose to obtain repair contracts to              Andhra contractors in 1978, this is confirmed in single man commission.                              (Sundar  Ramaiah commission – 1979)

 75)  All APSEB scams occurred so far at high level in board are targeted towards                  Telangana power supply and distribution, never to Andhra or Rayalaseema region.Higher officials found guilty by Vimal Lal commission, the recommendation were never implemented.

 76) Technically it is possible to develop water grid to benefit Telangana, Rayalaseema and Andhra regions – it would match in comparison with Mississippi river water   system (USA), Three Gorges river system (China), Nile river (Aswan dam) Africa  and Rhine river system Europe. Similar models were conceived by intellectuals but are trashed by Andhra rulers and pseudo intellectuals because they will benefit Telangana.

 77)  1969 - after Jai Telangana movement 'All Party Accord' was formulated, scrapped within 6 months. Than 8-point formula, 5-point formula were announced. then       supreme court upheld Mulki rules. Andhra elites could not digest it, launched Jai      Andhra movement. Central govt., yielded as usual to elites tactics, then 6-point   formula. Even this is being violated royally many times, robbing Telangana its rightfulness.

 78)  Nagarjuna Sagar initially meant to benefit Andhra and Telangana. Later on it is modified in such a way that 75% of the benefit is accruing to Andhra reducing the share of Telangana region to just 25%. Andhra settlers own 50% of these 25% utilization lands.

 79)  Singur project was originally designed to meet primarily the irrigation needs of    Medak and Nizamabad districts. But it is now solely used for meeting the requirements of capital city.

 80)  Jurala Project which is the first project on river Krishna meant for Telangana, is the          smallest of all the projects built on this river. The Bachawat Tribunal allocated just 17.5 TMC ft. water for this project, and the state government reduced its storage  capacity to 60% ft. But the actual utilization so far has not been more than 10% 

81)  Rajolibanda Diversion Scheme was to irrigate 87500 acres in Mahabubnagar. The            Bachawat Tribunal also allocated 15.90 TMC ft. of water for this project. This water has to pass through a canal in Raichur district of Karnataka State. After the formation of Andhra Pradesh landlords of Rayalaseema blasted the gates with bombs and diverted water to their land. Since then Govt., never even tried to reconstruct the gates.

 82)  Devadula Project, provides water for 5 lakh acres, was promised to be finished in 5 yrs in 2001, yet to begin work. The funniest fact is, Sriram sagar is yet to be completed for last 40 yrs which provides water for just 4 lakh acres. Telangana people are supposed to believe the promise.

 83)  Two major projects proposed on river Godavari are Ichampally and Polavaram.   Ichampally is meant for Telangana and Polavaram for Andhra.  The irrigation potential of Polavaram Project would be 6 to 7 times more than the irrigation potential of Ichampally. Ichampally is going to be primarily a   power project not a irrigation project !

 84) Andhra lands are irrigated by canal irrigation i.e. with tax payer’s money. Andhra farmer pays Rs 200 - 300 per annum as water charges. Telangana  lands are irrigated   by bore wells, entire cost is on the farmer . Digging, power, bore well, motor, pipes. He struggles with fluctuations in power supplies with irregularities and pathetic power distribution pattern in Telangana.

 85) Technological University was actually started in Warangal but was shifted to                    Hyderabad, Open University was originally in  Nalgonda district but was later shifted Hyd. The same State Level Universities, University of Health Sciences, Mahila University and the University of Dravidian Languages were allowed to stay in Seemandhra - not moved to Capital city.

 86) Twelve milk chilling plants established by the erstwhile Telangana Regional  Committee in different parts of Telangana have been abruptly closed down showing lack of funds as a reason.

87) Ramagundam is in heart of coal belt … Fertilizer plant is closed showing a reason as poor quality of coal. NTPC is running with same coal, VTPS is running with same coal. Subsequently, Fertilizer plants are started in Nellore and Andhra.

 88) Based on the proportionality at least 40% of jobs, i.e. 6 lakhs, should have gone to         Telangana. But the total number of jobs now occupied by them is less than 3 lakhs.

 89) 1972, PV Narasimha Rao made an attempt to implement the verdict of Supreme Court validating the Mulki Rules. The verdict was in favor of Telangana. Seemandhra gave outrageous reaction, he lost his Chief Ministership.

 90) If it is assumed that the leaders of a region becoming chief ministers can contribute to    the development of that region, then why do the people of Rayalaseema complain of backwardness ?

 91) Daily wage workers working in industries – from Andhra (9 districts) 3.16 lakhs,from Rayalaseema (4 districts)– 0.7 lakhs, Telangana (10 district) 0.81 lakhs.

 92)  Andhra controlled media never highlighted migration of 15 lakh people out of 24lakh        population from Mahabubnagar due to draught conditions.  T. Anjaiah CM of AP from Telangana region was presented as a buffoon in dailies and cartoons.

 93)  At the time of merger Andhra leaders persuaded Telangana leaders by offering many      safeguards against exploitation. They also passed a Unanimous Resolution’ in November 1955 in Andhra Assembly in support of safeguards and subsequently they put these safeguards in an Agreement on 20th February. 1956 which is known as “Gentlemen’s Agreement”. All are trashed soon after the agreement is signed.

94) Proportional representation says Telangana should get 42% jobs in the                                   Secretariat, but only 9% are working now. How can a people representative, MLA, MLC can get a work done if 91% do not help ?

 95) Metro Rail project is being designed dilapidating 5000 shops, 2500 houses, 147 schools, 120 hospitals, 60 Temples/Masjid/Churches. Historical monuments will disappear. All shops and complexes throughout Metro rail route are with Seemandhra thugs.

 96) 1947 India got Independence. 1948 Indian Army did police action to dethrone Nizam.       Hyderabad state existed from 1949 to 1956. Telangana merged with Andhra against its wishes in1956. Telangana has nothing to do with Potti Sriramulu.

 97)  Telangana Sayudha Poratam, (Telangana armed struggle) was against Nizam facist rule, 4000 people died - inspired all subsequent land movements in West Bengal, Kerala and Tripura and paved way for formation of  Communist governments in those States. This is never acknowledged by Seemandhra rulers so far.

 98)  Despite 69% Krishna, 79% Godavari flows through Telangana, irrigation cost is   Rs.1500/acre. 13% of Krishna, 21% Godavari flows through Andhra irrigation cost is Rs.150/acre.

 99)  Per capita income of Madhya Pradesh: Rs 18,051. Chattisgarh formed in 2000.  Per        capital income of Chhattisgarh in 2008-09 - Rs. 29,621. Recently formed smaller  states are catching up with Haryana is 71%, Himachal is 81% and Uttarakhand is 75%  - now Jharkhand 58%, Chhattisgarh 63%. Also, Infant mortality UP 67%, Uttarakhand 44%.

 100)  Yr 2008 Targeted growth rate  & achieved: bigger states: MP 7% - 4.3%; UP 7.6% -         4.6%; Bihar 6.2% 4.7% smaller states: Chhattisgarh 6.1% - 9.2%; Jharkhand 6.9% - 11.1%  Uttaranchal 6.8% - 8.8%

 101)  Since 1956 to date, the additional irrigation potential created in Telangana Is only 5%

 102)  There are 10,000+ Industrial units in Telangana, 1200 are owned by Telanganites, 6500 are owned by Seemandhra, rest are by outsiders.

 103)  Proportionally Telangana should be given about 43% in budget allocation, Since             1953, it never exceeded 30%. Yet Telangana contributes 42% of revenue to the state       exchequer.

 104)  Nizamsagar was built in 1931 to serve Nizamabad and Medak about 2.7  lakh acres of      land. It was neglected for maintenance and improvements, now satellite images prove that all its 83 tributaries, 243 distributaries have been silted up and eroded. World Bank sanctioned 30 crores for the project, which was never spent. The project now going to be almost useless.

 105)  In Andhra region every year two crops are cultivated because of water availability,  in       Telangana a single crop will be cultivated with great difficulty. 106) Technical institutions wise, 26 are in Telangana, 54 are in Andhra. 20 polytechnics in Telangana, 70 in Andhra. 2 Medical colleges in Telangana, 6 in Andhra.

 107)  British build Railways, Administrative Services, Post and Telegraph, installed democratic institutions, judiciary, rule of law, and built the cities of Kolkata, Mumbai    and Chennai, and New Delhi. British did not claim any of these when they had to leave India. Seemandhra are making big hue and   cry clamoring for Hyderabad   claiming they have built the city. In 400 yrs of Hyderabad history, how many years did they contribute the 'development' ? 

108) Hyderabad - demographic expansion can never be considered as a development. It’s natural growth. It is like a girl who is 10 yrs now will attain 15yrs of age after 5 yrs – can we call it development ? Also, its not just Hyderabad which is developed … all big/medium cities in India are in development path.
