Help spread the truth about Telangana region of India. Since 1956, when Andhra and Telangana merged, Telangana has gotten the short end of the stick in terms of natural resources, funding and representation in government. Though two major rivers have their sources in Telangana, irrigation projects divert the precious water to other areas. The feelings have often spilled over into violence, and in 1969, 400 people died in Telangana-related violence.

Chiru’s Crocodile Tears for Sircilla weavers exposed

The PRP chief Chiranjeevi made a hue and cry about the poor weavers in Sircilla. He went to Sircilla in a much publicized event and shed crocodile tears before them. He lambasted the negligence of the government towards the plight of the poor weavers. The poor weavers thought that they had found a messiah in Chiranjeevi He also expressed shock at the suicides committed by the weavers.

So when he launched his political party and set out to campaign, many thought that he would lead by example. The weavers hoped that Chiranjeevi will highlight their problems by wearing handloom clothes. But alas, it was not to be.

Chiranjeevi is now seen sporting designer shirts and trousers. The brand? Calvin Klein. Chiru is said to have ordered a wardrobe full of White Calvin Klein shirts and Black trousers. Wonder what poor weavers of Siricilla have to say about this?
