HYDERABAD: The main Opposition Telugu Desam Party (TDP) is likely to change its line on the Telangana issue soon as it wants to shed its anti-Telangana tag. During the budget session of the Assembly, the TDP may want the State government to adopt a resolution demanding that the Centre introduce a T-Bill in Parliament. It will insist on a debate on the sensitive T-issue adopting an aggressive stance in the coming days.
While it is not clear whether the change of stance is due to its confidence that the UPA will not carve out a separate state or that bifurcation is inevitable, what appears certain is that the TDP intends to derive mileage by taking an aggressive stand on T. According to party sources, TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu has changed the party's strategy completely on the T-issue. From now on, the TDP will aggressively move pawns in accordance with the aspirations of the T-people.
As a first step, the TDP is likely to give notice for adjournment motion demanding immediate lifting of suspension on five Telangana MLAs.
After presentation of budget in the Assembly on Wednesday, the TDP will execute its strategy in the House, sources said.
Naidu felt that when T-issue dominated the state politics, it was not correct to focus on other public issues like fee reimbursement. The TDP gave adjournment motions for two days on fee reimbursement. Now, the TDP too would keep the other public issues aside for the time being and focus on the Tissue.
In an informal chat with reporters, TDP MLA P Keshav said that Seemandhra TDP MLAs would demand for a resolution on T in the State Legislative Assembly. "We will approach the Deputy Speaker in this regard," he added. The official reason stated was that the turmoil in the House was preventing disucssion on other issues.
Telangana TDP Forum (TTDPF) convenor N Janardhan Reddy too wanted the government to adopt a resolution in favour of Telangana demanding that the Centre introduce a T-Bill in the Parliament. Reddy is requesting TDP Seemandhra MLAs to cooperate for a T-resolution.
At a strategy meeting of the TDLP here today, Naidu congratulated party MLAs M Narasimhulu, Hanumanth Shinde and D Anasuya for their bold stand even though the TRS activists obstructed their Tagitations. "Many other leaders too are taking up programmes locally for T. All of them are coming forward boldly," Naidu said.
On the other hand, Naidu accused the TRS of obstructing TDP leaders from taking up Tagitations. "When the TRS can take up programmes with its party flags and symbol, why not the TDP?" Naidu questioned. The change of TDP stand was also witnessed in Delhi, as its two MPs, Ramesh Rathod and G Sudharani, staged a dharna before Gandhi statue in the Parliament demanding introduction of a TBill.

Weak Central,& weak State Govts,;their incomprtancy to take quick decisions are the reasons for the deplorable state of affairs in AP.Too many leaders in Telangana region not working under one leader ship ,competing with each other in proving their (so called )committment for seperation are the reasons for the agition going into the hands of unruly elements.This is only begning.The country will become the ADDA of all law less elements.if the indecessive rule continues

Fear of back stabbing by back stabbing master is what makes TRS and Telanagana people to be cautious of TDP stand. If chandra babu agrees for telangana then he should force goverment to give telanagana. If congress and TDP with secret colation continue this outward / showup commitment toward telangana. they will repeart the answer them given in latest election.
