Lagadapati Rajgopal
Lanco Group was founded by Rajagopal, which is into power generation, infrastructure development and other fields. Rajagopal is more known as Lanco man for the business that he has been doing for over a decade with the blessings of his father-in-law and former Union minister, Parvathaneni Upendra.
Industrialist-turned politician, Lagadapati Rajagopal, is in trouble those days. A writ petition is filed in the Andhra Pradesh High Court challenging his election to the Lok Sabha from Vijayawada.
The petition said that Lagadapati did not give information about his third son, which was mentioned in the affidavit submitted by him at the time of filing nomination. According to the petition Lagadapat had claimed two sons in 2004 elections and three sons in the 2009 elections. However, there was no mention of this third son and hence his election in invalid, the petition said.
The Deccan Chronicle, in its columns, claimed that Lanco Infratech had cheated United India Insurance and New India Assurance, in its works with the Andhra Pradesh Health, Medical Housing and Infrastructure Development Corporation.
Meanwhile, the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority took up the case to probe into the irregularities committed by the two insurance companies to favour the Lanco group.
Mean while i want to tell those andhra people that don't blindly believe this type of persons . And please don't compare him with Legend Potti Sriramulu .This person who don't respect constitution of India by giving false information while participating in the election and cheating the insurance company .

Telangana peoples struggle for independence
Telangana With the Congress-led UPA government finally giving in to TRS chief K Chandrasekhar Rao’s emotional blackmail for a separate Telagana state, the country is now bracing up to welcome its 29th state.
The Centre, by announcing to initiate the process of the formation of a separate state, saved Andhra Pradesh from one major political crisis.
At this juncture, when the people of Telangana region are busy celebrating the biggest victory of their tallest leader KCR’s political career, I am very happy that at last our telangana peoples wish will be initiated stage.
With due respect to people of Telangana and all those who laid their life demanding a separate state, I am happy that Congress-led UPA government had started steps to make telangana state thanks for prolonged struggle by all levels , divisions and groups of people who has struggled and ended there life to get our telangana state.
The most potent argument, which is given in favour of creating more states is that it will foster a rapid development of the region and will be more feasible from the administrative point of view. It will also help governance spread out.
There is hardly any doubt that creation of a new state will fulfill the five-decade old aspirations of the people of perhaps the most backward region i.e Telangana
The people of Telangana never accepted the merger, which was imposed on them in 1956 despite the first State Reorganisation Commission’s (SRC) disapproval, so it’s certainly a historic moment for them.
As far as TRS chief is concerned, KCR, with his fast unto-death, has now achieved a cult figure-like status among his supporters. KCR’s victory on the Telangana issue has sprung a surprise to all those, who were trying to write him off following TRS’ humiliating defeat in this year’s elections.
We all probably thought that with TRS’ poll debacle, the Telangana movement had died and the disturbing voices for the creation of more states won’t be heard in the future. But, we were terribly wrong. KCR virtually pushed Congress leadership into a corner over the issue within eleven days of his fast unto death.
The people of Telangana are now optimistic that the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh India's first state formed on linguistic basis, will end decades of their neglect and exploitation.
At present, Telangana has an estimated population of about 35 million people. Telangana region now accounts for 119 of the 294 seats in the Assembly, and 17 of the 42 Lok Sabha members.
So clearly, the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh will turn Telangana into a more powerful player in future increasing its say in political bargains.
The upcoming regime will have to tackle existing problems like economic backwardness, illiteracy, poor infrastructure.

Don't trust Andhra people
It all started when none of us were born. Telangana was a separate entity and it was ruled by Muslim dynasties, whereas Andhra and Seema were governed by Hindu rulers. The Muslim Asafjahi dynasty established a separate state known as Hyderabad. When the British began their rule in India, Andhra and Seema became a part of the Madras Presidency. However, Telangana was never under the British rule - they had a treaty of subsidiary alliance. This gave Telangana a lot of freedom and liberty in its actions. This freedom went upto the extent where the last Nizam, Mir Osman Ali had his own bank and own currency.
The Hyderabad state was very rich in terms of the wealth the Nizams had and also the wealth which the state generated through taxes. Alcohol, for example, was not banned here (like in Andhra or Seema) but it was taxed, thus generating copious amounts of revenue. The Andhra and Seema regions too were very well developed, but the people led a simple plain life, quite happy with music, art, culture etc. The Nizam supported the same but Hyderabad lived in richness and pomp. The other two regions were less glamorous.
The problem started after India’s independence. Hyderabad was never a part of the British Colonial Rule so it saw no reason why it should be a part of the Indian sub-continent. It declined the offer to be a part of India. But Hyderabad was forcibly amalgamated on September 17th, 1948 after the execution of what is famously known as the Operation Polo. PM Jawaharlal Nehru had a task to reorganize the entire country. He had setup the State Reorganization Committee and had decided to do the same on linguistic lines. But there was another problem - the Hyderabad state didn’t want to merge with the Andhra state. The reasons were many but predominantly the problem was that Andhra was miles ahead in terms of Economic Development. Though Hyderabad had more money, Andhra had more literacy and education. This was because they were under the British rule and they concentrated a lot on irrigation, education and agriculture. This was what even the SRC report had mentioned. Para 386 of States Reorganization Commission Report (SRC) said "After taking all these factors into consideration we have come to the conclusions that it will be in the interests of Andhra as well as Telangana area is to constitute into a separate State, which may be known as the Hyderabad State with provision for its unification with Andhra after the general elections likely to be held in or about 1961 if by a two thirds majority the legislature of the residency Hyderabad State expresses itself in favor of such unification." But the government overruled this, merged the two and brought in an agreement between the two parties. This agreement was called the Gentleman’s Agreement which provided reassurances to the Telangana people as well to Andhra people in terms of power sharing as well as administrative domicile rules and distribution of expenses of various regions. But the agreement was violated. None of the terms mentioned in the agreement were met. Telangana continued to suffer from lack of jobs, poor irrigation facilities, poverty and illiteracy. To overcome the suppression, the separate Telangana movement was launched in the year 1960. But that was when the Congress was at its might. With no strong opposition, the Congress had everything going its way. But the party began lose its sheen when Indira Gandhi imposed emergency and Rajiv Gandhi was assassinated. Congress had no strong leader to piggyback upon, and the other parties began to take advantage of this.

KCR bus tour from Monday (Dec 20 2009 )
The TRS chief, K Chandrasekhar Rao, is getting ready for bus tour in the entire region to prepare people for the new State.
The TRS politburo which is scheduled to meet on Sunday is likely to finalise the route map for the tour. Though the doctors advised KCR not to go on a tour as his health condition is yet to return to normalcy, the source said the TRS chief had turned down their advice. He had asked the team of his personal doctors to accompany him all through the tour if they were so concerned about his health.
The TRS chief had reportedly told the party leaders and the doctors that his priority was not his health now but to prepare people for the new State. He had also asked the politburo members to prepare the tour programme that would cover every village in the region.
He is likely to speak about the advantages of having a new State, the development expected to gain in the next couple of decades and the objections being raised by the leaders of Andhra and Rayalaseema for the new state.
KCR is set to seek the support of the people if the Center goes back on the promise due to pressures from the leaders of Andhra and Rayalaseema. He is take a strong dig at the Andhra and Rayalaseema leaders, besides the parties like Telugu Desam and the Praja Rajyam Party for their opposition to the Telangana State. He is set to target both the TD and PRP for their U turn on the issue.
The TD leaders from Andhra and Rayalaseema have already started the bus tour and it is currently running in the Rayalaseema districts. It is to be seen how far this bus tour would help KCR to prepare the people for the new state.

Chiranjeevi not only a reel life actor not also a real life actor
Ever since launching PRP in August, 2008, Chiranjeevi had been supporting the demand for separate statehood to Telangana region. Later on, he announced that PRP had changed its stand on a separate Telangana state claiming that a majority of the people were against the division of Andhra Pradesh. Owning moral responsibility for changing this decision, on December 17, 2009, he resigned from the state assembly. Chiranjeevi is (not) stable minded person, his ideas will always change on time. As easy as changing the PRP party symbol, Chirangeevi who has supported for Telangana during establishment of party and now on December 18, 2009, he had changed his mind once again as Samyakya Andhra as these is his natural inborn character of using double tongue through changing his words. What a great person who don't have any moral values . But in his cinemas he is a great hero who stands on his word.Chiranjeevi Andarivadu sorry Only Andhra vadu, great hero of no values in Real life. 7 days old demand of Samaykya Andhra had been realised by Chiranjeevi but our Telangana peoples
Telangana statehood's 40-year-old saga, is not been recognised by great Chiranjeevi. Wake up Telanagana Region people this is best example of double standed andhra political leaders who never stand on there words(any party that can be INC,TDP,PRP who belong to the Andhra region they will never be on there words). They will always flip and flop. Wakeup man. Fight and fight restless until to get our Mother land Telanagana.

Response of Electronic Media on Telangana state
I do not understand why TV channels show partiality while telecasting dispute on Telangana issues and Samayakya Andhra issues . I have observed couple of times when debate takes place Telangana issues, anchors and news readers(as usual owners of TV channels) always support Andhra issues. When KCR was in hunger strike, none of the news channel has bothered to telecast the support for TELANGANA STATE , which has got support and response from different districts and places of entire telangana , but transmitted only about response of students in osmania university.While the rejection for home ministers statement from the non telangana MP's is purely based on their self interest " as we all know its not from common people, but its the rejection from political leaders who has got their properties in hyderabad and its surroundings but leaders gave it face of common people rejection to protect their own profits ". TV channels never bothered to telecast the support for separate telangana, but much much much interested to telecast support for samaikya andhra, why this discrimination though we are in democratic country. People of telangana from different countries supported separated state, they performed rallies in different countries, organised meetings in issue of telangana, but none of the channel had bothered to telecast. But when same thing is done by andhra people, media is telecasting as a big issue and as a major issue. Its a open secret that all the channels are run by the andhra people, how can any person expect support for our telangana. We have got ditched up in each and every field. In the Democratic India our constitution say that all the poeple are equal but here
only they will show how much difference is there.
only they will show how much difference is there.

Warangal - Ekasila Nagaram
Warangal or Orugallu or Ekasila Nagaram (Telugu: వరంగల్) pronunciation (part of Telangana region) is a city and a municipal corporation in Warangal district in the proposed Indian state of Telangana. Warangal is 145 km northeast of the state capital of Hyderabad. Warangal is the administrative seat of Warangal District. It is the fourth largest city in Andhra Pradesh with a population of nearly 13,562,98 (2001 census) which includes Hanamkonda and Kazipet.
Warangal district has an area of 12,846 km2, and a population of 2,818,832 (1991 census). The district is bounded by Karimnagar district to the north, Khammam district to the east and southeast, Nalgonda district to the southwest, and Medak district to the west. Warangal is located northeast of Hyderabad,India. Warangal is known for its granite quarries (notably the black and brown varieties), grain market (for rice and chillies), cotton, and tobacco
History
Warangal was the capital of a Hindu Shaivaite kingdom[citation needed] ruled by the Kakatiya dynasty from the 12th to the 14th centuries.The old name of this newly formed city is Orugallu. 'Oru' means one and 'Kallu' means stone. The entire city was carved in a single rock, hence the name Orukallu meaning 'one rock'. The city was also called Ekasila nagaram. The Kakatiyas left many monuments, including an impressive fortress, four massive stone gateways, the Swayambhu temple dedicated to Shiva, and the Ramappa temple situated near Ramappa Lake. The cultural and administrative distinction of the Kakatiyas was mentioned by the famous traveller Marco Polo. Famous or well-known rulers included Ganapathi Deva, Prathapa Rudra, and Rani (queen) Rudramma Devi. After the defeat of PratapaRudra, the Musunuri Nayaks united seventy two Nayak chieftains and captured Warangal from Delhi sultanate and ruled for fifty years. Jealousy and mutual rivalry between Nayaks ultimately led to the downfall of Hindus in 1370 A.D. and success of Bahmanis. Bahmani Sultanate later broke up into several smaller sultanates, of which the Golconda sultanate ruled Warangal. The Mughal emperor Aurangzeb conquered Golconda in 1687, and it remained part of the Mughal empire until the southern provinces of the empire split away to become the state of Hyderabad in 1724 which included the Telangana region and some parts of Maharashtra and Karnataka. Hyderabad was annexed to India in 1948, and became an Indian state. In 1956 Hyderabad was partitioned as part of the States Reorganization Act, and Telangana, the Telugu-speaking region of Hyderabad state which includes Warangal, became part of Andhra Pradesh.
Warangal has developed both under the political and historical influences of successive great kings. The Historical events and development occurred in Warangal District. These are:-
1. Kakatiya Stage 1260 - 1422
2. Transition Stage 1422 - 1725
3. Asaf Jahi Stage 1725 - 1948

History
Warangal was the capital of a Hindu Shaivaite kingdom[citation needed] ruled by the Kakatiya dynasty from the 12th to the 14th centuries.The old name of this newly formed city is Orugallu. 'Oru' means one and 'Kallu' means stone. The entire city was carved in a single rock, hence the name Orukallu meaning 'one rock'. The city was also called Ekasila nagaram. The Kakatiyas left many monuments, including an impressive fortress, four massive stone gateways, the Swayambhu temple dedicated to Shiva, and the Ramappa temple situated near Ramappa Lake. The cultural and administrative distinction of the Kakatiyas was mentioned by the famous traveller Marco Polo. Famous or well-known rulers included Ganapathi Deva, Prathapa Rudra, and Rani (queen) Rudramma Devi. After the defeat of PratapaRudra, the Musunuri Nayaks united seventy two Nayak chieftains and captured Warangal from Delhi sultanate and ruled for fifty years. Jealousy and mutual rivalry between Nayaks ultimately led to the downfall of Hindus in 1370 A.D. and success of Bahmanis. Bahmani Sultanate later broke up into several smaller sultanates, of which the Golconda sultanate ruled Warangal. The Mughal emperor Aurangzeb conquered Golconda in 1687, and it remained part of the Mughal empire until the southern provinces of the empire split away to become the state of Hyderabad in 1724 which included the Telangana region and some parts of Maharashtra and Karnataka. Hyderabad was annexed to India in 1948, and became an Indian state. In 1956 Hyderabad was partitioned as part of the States Reorganization Act, and Telangana, the Telugu-speaking region of Hyderabad state which includes Warangal, became part of Andhra Pradesh.
Warangal has developed both under the political and historical influences of successive great kings. The Historical events and development occurred in Warangal District. These are:-
