Yet Another T-Front, This Time By Gaddar

There seems to be as many political parties and forums as the number of districts are in the Telangana region, claiming to be the champions of separate Telangana cause. On Saturday evening, yet another Telangana forum, in the name of Telangana People’s Front, was formed and it will be led by revolutionary balladeer Gaddar. Claiming that the front would invite all like-minded and sincere individuals, parties and forums to fight unitedly for Telangana, Gaddar made it clear that the sole agenda of the Front would be to bring pressure on the central government to table bill in Parliament for Telangana state formation. “That is the only way to achieve Telangana,” he said. He announced that the front would be formally launched at a grand public meeting at the Nizam college grounds on October 9 and it would finalise its action plan at the meeting. “The agitation would begin much before December 31 deadline fixed for B N Srikrishna Committee,” he said. At the same time, Gaddar took potshots at Telangana Rashtra Samithi president K Chandrasekhara Rao, albeit indirectly. He said the Telangana movement had lost the track, as it was hijacked by a few individuals who were only interested in promoting their personal interests rather than public interests. This is not the first time that Gaddar made an announcement on forming a front for Telangana. He did it in the past, but it could not take off as he lacks the money and manpower to sustain it, unlike the TRS. Secondly, it is difficult to believe Gaddar as he is the front man of Maoist party and so, there would be no weight in his words that he would fight for the Telangana bill in Parliament. He has to clarify whether he believes in Parliamentary democracy or not.
