Idefix, Vaka, and other Telugus can learn from Hari Krishna MP about Telugu patriotism

He said dramatically: “Oh God, What a sad day for Andhra Pradesh. ... nobody is there to translate the speech in Parliament.”

Telugu is second only to Hindi in the number of people that speak the language in India. So, whether he informs the chair or not, the chair should have a translator ready in the house just as he might be having in the case of English and Hindi.

However, Mr Harikrishna's address is to the people of AP. I don't think he cares if anyone in parliament follows him. In fact, the drama in the house will be viewd by the Telugus in AP in a way that Mr. Harikrishna fulfills his objective - to get votes in the next election.

CONmen should know that if the agitation in Andhra gets out of control, and Sonia persists with her selfish moves just to install her moronic son as the PM, people of Andhra may start demanding to separate from India. It is the people, not politicians, that are spontaneously agitating in Andhra. If I were Sonia, I would worry.

(Interestingly, his speech was not shown on any main TV channels or discussed in national news papers. So, not many people seem to be aware of it.)

He should have demanded the Chair to have a translator. How else would the non Telugu-speakers learn of the sentiments of the majority of APites?

My mother's close friend is from AP who is against bifurcation and claims that it would be an insult to call that part Telangana. Urdana would be calling it like it is.

Why would they? Seemandhra folks doing alright without these opportunistic dudes. It's not like he is a well respected politician in AP; after all he is living on his father's laurels and want to cash in on the situation.

Cd is right. Leaders who live under their father's shadow do not deserve respect.  Those that swindle state to the tune of thousands of crores deserve even less. Leaders. Like harikrishna and jagan reddy must not be allowed to cash in on the situation.
