The formation of Telangana State was not an easy one. The people of Telangana had to wage a long drawn battle. The formation of Telangana was not just a bifurcation of a state for various reasons; it was the result of fulfillment of the aspirations and sentiments of the people.

K Chandrasekhara Rao, the Chief Minister of Telangana has led a sustained movement for over a decade. The leadership of K Chandrasekhar Rao is praise-worthy because it never took the shape of a violent movement. As the movement was peaceful, the oppression on part of the government was also minimal.

It is difficult for any dispensation to deliver all the promises, in just one year, especially for a newly formed state. Any new state has to overcome teething trouble. However, the attitude of the people in power determines whether the aspirations of the people are being addressed.
The path chosen by the new government is very important to fulfill the needs of the people and proves that the hard-won state will not only withstand, but move forward to attain prosperity.
All sections of the society have played a key role in realising the dream of Telangana. Usually after the goal is attained, the people that have really worked towards it are easily forgotten. The elite bag all the benefits. Apart from the antics and demagogy of KCR, the path chosen by him and the pace of delivery counts.
If he has chosen a path that is not detrimental to the interests of the people, with whatever name you call it, we can assume that the government is on the right track. The government should not just look pro-people, but its actions in essence has to be in favour of the people.

Let us examine the course of TRS government based on some key decisions. As the buzzword in the present circumstances is privatization, KCR has chosen exactly the opposite path of encouraging and extricating of public sector.

 Last year when KCR was on the campaign trail he promised that the Nizam Sugar Factory of Bodhan would be taken over by the government. He kept up his promise and decided to take over this industry form Delta Sugars. For the people of Telangana, the Nizam Sugar Factory is not just another industry.It is the symbol for industrialization under the Nizam’s rule. This industry was doled out to Delta Sugars in the name of a joint venture as the then government felt privatization is panacea for all the ailments.

Telangana is reeling under severe power shortages. Without going into the details for shortages, it is better to examine the present government's efforts to meet this challenge.

 KCR assures that the power crisis will haunt us only for next two or three years. He promised that there will not be power cuts thereafter. Compare it with the situation during the last year. Even when the state was united then there were scheduled power cuts for two hours in the morning and tow hours in the evening. The villages were the worst hit.

 Power holiday was imposed for a day in a week for the industrial sector. Though there is no dramatic change in power generation this year, there is no scheduled power shedding this year.
Telangana proposes to generate another 10, 280 mw of power in the next four years. The responsibility of additional power generation is not entrusted to the private sector as is the norm these days. Every unit of power that is going to be generated will be in the public sector and important contracts in this regard are also awarded to BHEL, an important mega public sector unit. Right from the formation of Andhra Pradesh State Electricity Board in 1959, Telangana region was under the yoke of Andhra people.

 The power projects of Telangana were diverted to Andhra area. The power generation in Telangana was neglected.The private sector was encouraged unduly and the contracts were awarded to people of Andhra. Even after the bifurcation of the State, Telangana is deprived of its legitimate share in power supply. The government of Telangana also decided to withdraw from the Power Purchase Agreements that were disadvantageous for Telangana.
 
 The upcoming power projects include 800 mw at KTPS, 1080 mw at Bhadradri in Manugur of Khamman district and 4,400 mw at Damaracherla in Nalgonda district. a totoal 6,280 mw power will be added shortly. Public sector undertaking Rural Electrification Corporation Limited (REC) has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Telangana State Generation Corporation to provide funding of Rs. 24,000 crore for power projects. In addition to the Rs. 24,000 crore funding from REC, Power  Finance Corporation (PFC) had earlier agreed to provide funding Rs. 15,000 crore for the same projects and TS Genco will fund Rs. 3,000 crore.

 This apart, NTPC as mandated by the central government, will be spending Rs.24, 000 crorre for its 4,000 mw project while Singareni will spend Rs. 4,000 ccrore. Another Rs.21,500 crore will be invested in solar power projects. Thus the total  investment for 10,280 mw of power plants in the next four years will amount to Rs. 91,500 crore.

 This entire exercise of additional power generation is in public sector. It means driving out private players from power sector. Being on the path of public sector at least in key areas like power generation, KCR holds out a promise. Indeed a welcome step!
