Vijayashanti missing at crucial stage

Those who have been observing the commotion created in the entire Telangana region and particularly the State Capital over the implementation (or lack of it) of the controversial GO 610 are at their wit's end as to what film heroine-turned-Telangana champion Vijayashanti is doing.

Vijayashanti is conspicuously missing from the scene, when the Telangana Rashtra Samithi led by K Chandrasekhar Rao, its splinter group A Narendra and even the Telangana leaders in the Bharatiya Janata Party, Telugu Desam and even the Communists have been agitating for the implementation of the GO 610. Except making an odd statement in the past over the GO, she has not come out with any agitational programme or an emotional statement to make her presence felt.

The reason why Vijayashanti is not in a position to come out so openly in this regard is said to be her poor knowledge about the whole issue. She doesn't know what GO 610 is all about, what Girglani Commission report says, what is six-point formula and what is the Presidential Order. Without understanding these basic principles which forms the historic background for the Telangana movement, there is no point in talking about the need for a separate Telangana State, she was reportedly told. So, Vijayashanti is now said to be studying what the whole issue is, so that she can bravely face the media and the people who question her credentials in Telangana!
