Cong is the weakest link in separate statehood movement

Among the political parties, it is the Telangana Congress leaders who are emerging as the weakest link in the separate state movement. “Thanks to the high command completely botching up its approach on the issue by promising the state on December 9, 2009, and later negating it, the Telangana Congress leaders have ended up as irrelevant from the high command point of view, suspects in the eyes of the people of the region, and an easy target for the TDP and the TRS to string them like puppets,” rued one Congress leader.
As a result, apart from the rival political parties, the people of the region too are beginning to think that the rejections of the resignations by the Speaker smacks of a deal that safeguards the interests of the UPA government and the Congress high command and gives a way out for the Telangana Congress leaders. “By rejecting the resignations, the Speaker has ensured that there is no threat to the survival of the Manmohan Singh government and the Kiran regime in the state.
For the Telangana Congress leaders, caught between an unresponsive high command on the one hand and impatient people on the other, the rejection of the resignation retains their equation with the high command as well as the Houses they represent. Now, they can tell the people that they cannot be labeled as not doing enough for the T cause,” said an expert.
