Joint Action Committee of Rayalaseema Parirakshana Samithi president M.V. Ramana Reddy has said the body will work for creating an identity for Rayalaseema region which is missing now.
Talking to reporters here on Tuesday, he said Rayalaseema leaders were depicted as villains and blood-thirsty people in movies and Telangana ‘buffoons’ while movie heroes spoke only in Coastal Andhra accent.
The campaign would try to put to an end to wrong depiction of Rayalaseema culture and people.
He said factionists had no popular support and agitations were going on within Rayalaseema against the evil. The intellectuals of Andhra had no business to make fun of the one of the social evils of the region, he argued.
Dr. Ramana Reddy said Telangana was inevitable and no force could stop creation of the separate State as the demand had come from grassroots level. The common public in Rayalaseema and Coastal Andhra did not oppose bifurcation of State but only the ruling class which enjoyed power in the present dispensation wanted unified Andhra Pradesh.
Dr. Reddy, who would soon lead a movement for separate Rayalaseema, said even after division the Telugu-speaking people would remain together and continue to have business and cultural ties. They would be divided only geographically.
He appreciated YSR as a bold leader who contributed his mite to development of Rayalaseema by widening Pothireddypadu head regulator. He said time alone would decide the fate of Andhra Pradesh and Rayalaseema as political parties were caught in the bifurcation soup.
