Obviously, Jagan’s ‘Samaikya Shankaravam’ meeting to be held at Hyderabad on 26th October, irks all the Telangana leaders. Even, his onetime associate Konda Surekha also fumes on him for trying to create hurdle in Telangana process, when it is gaining momentum. She asked “When he is for Samaikyandhra and opposing Telangana formation, then why did he chooses Hyderabad which is part of Telangana rather than choosing a place somewhere in Seemandhra? She said his meeting may create tensions in the peaceful city.”

Although YSR Congress party is making elaborate arrangements to make its meeting a grand success, the timing of it is quite odd, because the APNGOs have called off their strike, people have withdrawn from agitations and on the other end bifurcation process is progressing now with rapid pace. In this situation, conducting Samaikya meeting by Jagan is nothing but another attempt to project himself as the savior of Seemandhra people.
