TELANGANA IN 100 DAYS

BJP leader Advani promises Telangana within 100 days in power
Senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader Lal Krishna Advani has promised to introduce a Bill for carving out separate Telangana State within 100 days if the National Democratic Alliance was voted back to power.
Betrayal: Criticising the Congress and the TRS for betraying the Telangana people after securing their mandate for creating a separate State. Mr. Advani urged the people to give the requisite majority to the NDA if they wanted Telangana.
Credibility: Addressing a huge public meeting as part of the BJP’s ‘Vijay Sankalp Yatra’ at the Parade Grounds here on Thursday, Mr. Advani cited the presence of Left-wing balladeer Gadar at the meeting as evidence to show that BJP alone had the credibility on the Telangana issue.
Small States: Recalling the BJP’s known stand favouring smaller States for effective administration, he said Telangana would have become a reality had the parties, now supporting the cause, backed the NDA then.
Advani said the BJP's state unit had sent a proposal for Telangana to the then NDA Government but it could not act on it due to the alliance it had with the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), which was then against bifurcation of the state.
He alleged the UPA Government had surrendered before terrorism and had compromised with terrorists. He criticised Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for terming Pakistan a victim of terrorism. "India has been telling the world that Pakistan is responsible for terrorism but Mr Manmohan Singh has given a certificate that like India, Pakistan is also a victim of terrorism," he said.
