T-JAC has given Telangana Bandh call for Saturday in protest against merging seven mandals of Kammam district with AP that submerges under Polavaram Project. Initially, it was planned to conduct bandh only in Kammam district, but when Loksabha has cleared the Polavaram bill, T-JAC has expanded the bandh to entire Telangana state. Various political parties including Congress, TRS, CPI, CPM, and Student’s Unions also supporting tomorrow’s bandh. Hence, it would be a complete bandh of the state.

It is interesting to see T-Congress leaders taking turn around on their party decision on this issue and their high command letting them do so. Hence, the beleaguered T-Congress leaders grabbed this issue to hit the streets, perhaps not for the sake of Tribals to be displaced under the project, but to revamp their political status in Telangana.
