Dear Jaya Prakash Narayan, Can you answer these questions?

• The statistics are not the only measure – A country like Ethiopia grows at 11.4% GDP while USA grows only at 2% GDP

• If you think formation of Telangana is neither a catastrophe, nor a panacea – why dont you accept the aspiration of people ?

• Forum for democracy – NGO org. Loksatta is also NGO .. where is it gone ?

• You always tell about peoples aspirations should be respected . people should have say in rule – why cannot you see people of 10 dist demanding Tstate ? Why cannot you hear ‘peoples voice’ ?

• Andhras would have hated Tamils more if they had been forced to stay in Madras State. Now, the hatred is almost nonexistent because they got separated before animosity became too much. It is better to let go of Telangana. That will immediately decrease hatred in the region.

• వారసత్వ రాజకీయాలకు వ్యతిరేకం ఐన మీరు సోనియా గాంధీ NPA లో ఎందుకు జాయిన్ అయ్యారు ?

• You never distributed donation collected for floods in AP, media caught you redhanded. your acts are as a normal political leader, not a visionary as you claim your self to be.

• You won as MLA in kukatpally, but lost your deposit in corporate elections – what kind of mandate you have ?

• స్థానిక సంస్థల అధికారం బదలాయింపు అని అంటూ ఉంటారు. మరి తెలంగాణా స్టేట్ అంటే అదే కదా ? అది వేరేనా మీ ఉద్దేశం లో ? 10 dist people want thier own rule ? how do you see this ?

• Utopian political idealogy – you always talks about. you started NGO organization and ran for 10 yrs. then you transformed it to political party. what kind of political aspirations you have ?

• If one don’t get 51% they cannot be considered to have a mandate – how can you claim to be a MLA as you don’t have 51% ? And you took front seat in assembly – overriding the priorities and rules.

• Speaking about statistics in your report to SKC, % increase never represents real growth, increase of 100 from 100 = 100%, but increase of 1000 from 10000 will be 10% .. now who is growing ? which school did you go JP ? How did you become IAS ?

• Just because communists with extremist views participated in our Independence Movement we cannot rubbish the entire movement. How can call Tmovement so ?

• When a victim complains that he is being bullied, you cannot tell him, ‘Go get a consensus from the bully, only then I will protect you’- How can we ask for consensus from Andhra people ?

• Did you publish the funds collected for Loksatta NGO organization and forum for democratic reforms?
• Why did you contest from Kukatpally constituency while you reside in Khairatabad? On what basis a ticket was given to Mr. Rattaiah? This looks like you are playing cast based politics. Why didn’t you campaign for any other contestants?

• How many minutes of TV advertisement you have given on behalf of you/your party? Why there is only your photo in those advertisements and how this is different from other parties?

• You have started Loksatta in around 1995, what change were you able to bring? The politics have become even worse since then, isn’t it a failure of Loksatta/JP?

• Loksatta/JP always would like to talk about district level governance, but why are you not in a position to accept the wishes of people from 10 districts? Isn’t creating smaller states a start to bringing government to district level?

• Isn’t it true you are a Hypocrite + Bureaucrat, not a politician who changes their policies according to the wishes of majority people?

• We have heard from trusted sources like people in your constituency and your party men that you are a dictator, is this change you would like to bring in new generation politics?

• How is your party different from other parties and why are you not able to maintain internal democracy in your party?

• Why there are no other elected members within your party? And why there are no other elected members who were elected in any elections?

• What you think might be the reason behind there is no migration of people from Telangana to Andhra?

• Do you support people from Andhra buying lands from Telangana people against the rules set when Telangana is merged with Andhra?

• Are you saying that people who speak Telugu should only live in AP? Can there be a mother to a language? If so, Telugu thalli is mother of which language telangana telugu or andhra telugu? Almost everybody knows that sometimes we cannot understand the language even though it is same language. Some people even think the language they speak is superior to others.

• This is the statement from your party. The Loksatta is not opposed to the formation of a separate Telangana State but it believes that a solution to its problems lies in total decentralization of power and resources through formation of district governments. The Lok satta party’s Election Campaign Committee members told the media that a separate State could always be carved out if the people wished it, by following the procedure prescribed in the Constitution. When more than 80 countries in the world are less in area than a district in Andhra Pradesh, formation of a Telangana State is not a big deal. While your party Loksatta supports smaller states why are you opposing the formation of Telangana?

• Do you think you won the election by just the votes of people from Andhra? Or are you thinking that Telangana people will forget your stand on Telangana when it comes to general elections?

• Do you think you will win the next election with your current stand on Telangana?

• Isn’t it the duty of central government to establish some institutions and industries in the state capital? Isn’t it true that Andhra region will get those kinds of institutions and industries in their new state capital?

• Are you aware of the injustice done to Telangana (language discrimination in society, development, jobs in government/private sectors, irrigation projects, education, drinking water facilities, fluoride issue, weak political leadership, etc? I am not sure how long will be the list.) And how would you like to solve all these issues without the formation of state?

• Isn’t it true that the merger of two states was done against the wishes of Telangana people (don’t talk about the political leaders, we know that our leadership is weak)?

• How do you justify the content in report to Sri Krishna committee without reflecting the wishes of Telangana people? If you feel that what you have done is correct, why didn’t you release your report to people?

• Why did you avoid participating in government program called Praja Patham where you could have solved some of the issues?
