A take on the happenings in AP and Telangana

What ‪‎changed? Nothing but the way things happen.
Since time immemorial the rulers, be it kings and emperors of yore or current day leaders have always put people in the front to protect their vested and parochial interests. There were wars that took place between two kingdoms just because one of the kings wanted a woman from the other kingdom; several battles were fought just because one person wanted to annex the other's land; history is replete with so many such instances. One thing common in all the past and present stories is that, it is the people who suffered. The rulers always made it appear to their subjects that their kingdom's self-respect was at stake, made them forcefully believe in what they said and took them to war. But at the core was their self-interest and not public welfare. 
A similar thing is happening now in Andhra Pradesh. Instead of accepting or facing the charges of Telangana government in a legal and constitutional manner, a whole lot of politicians from AP are instigating people and making it appear as if it is a governance issue and not a cash-for-vote matter.

It is unfortunate that the CM of AP, who is not only a seasoned politician but also said to be an able administrator, failed to make a single comment on arrest of his party's Telangana state MLA caught in camera with cash. Would he have kept quiet if a similar incident happened with some other party's MLA? None of the ruling party ministers who otherwise raise their voice on the Opposition leader Y.S.Jagan Mohan Reddy on every petty issue, have not spoken a word about why their Telangana MLA had to go with cash to another MLA? Some of them are speaking in a highly despicable manner by saying that it is completely a fabricated case. Is it possible to fabricate such cases? Do they mean to say TDP MLA who got arrested co-operated with Telangana government to fabricate a case against him and his own party? Are they assuming that people would buy the 'fabrication' story?

There is too much muck and it is better that TDP wiped it on their own as a political party instead of making it a fight between two states and governments. That would do a world of good to Telugu speaking people in the states of AP and Telangana who have no other interest but to live their lives peacefully as before.
