ANYTHING FOR TELANGANA : Balladeer Gadar briefing media in Nizamabad on Wednesday.

NIZAMABAD: Balladeer Gadar has said about 270 villages and over one lakh acres of land in Khammam district will be sub-merged if the Polavaram project was constructed. A major danger is in the form of Polavaram lurking in the region as it will engulf the entire Telangana, he added.

Briefing mediapersons on `Telangana aata pata' to be held here on January 5, he said the poor were losing their livelihood due to the Jalayagnam of the Congress Government.

A major chunk of total budget of the Jalayagnam was being spent on the Polavaram, he said.

He said no State, either Jharkhand or Chhattisgarh, was formed through the elections or Second State Re-organisation Committee. They were formed only through popular agitations.

The movement for Telangana has been a democratic one and a separate State should be formed as per provisions enshrined in the Constitution.

Fight for rights

The Telangana movement was being waged demanding that people of this area be provided with rights over water, land and other natural resources and employment. People were agitating for rights as the Governments failed to implement them, he said.

Mr. Gadar demanded that implementation of the G.O. 610 beginning with the Secretariat and not with the Police department.
