bring them together if you care for them

If you care for the people, you must bring them together and not divide them. - Jayaprakash Narayan

Every party played bluff game and claimed that they support Telangana resolution if it is introduced in assembly to gain support from Telangana people. All parties have been gambling with people's lives. After seeing now anger from Andhra and Rayalaseema people, they took u-turns in their policies.

Every one has slight inclinations towards his own caste, region, religion, country, skin color, ethnicity and race. With the wisdom passed on from great people like Gandhi to next generations and natural compassion towards fellow human beings regardless of race, those inclinations get buried and people live peacefully. Selfish leaders throughout the history instigate and try to bring out those emotions out for their gains. If they succeed, wisdom and compassion will be lost and wars and agitations result. Think of world wars, relegious rifts like Babri Masjid, reservations or kaveri river fights. All of them happened because of this. When emotions are high, every one will be forced to side with one side or other side for self sustaining.

Lok Satta has more support in Telangana compared to other two regions. It is easy for the party to support and join bandwagon. Party has been cornered many times. Lok Satta told all the time same thing. It believes in decentralization of civic powers among people and getting district governments but not in creating new power centers. It believes in changing the rules of political game and not just players or table in this bluff game.
