State leaders ask JAC chief to call it quits if he wants to form political party
Hyderabad: Differences in Telangana Joint Action Committee (TJAC) reached a new height as members shot off a letter to its chairman Prof M Kodandaram questioning his desire to form a political party and also advising him to voluntarily leave the JAC if he desired so. 
The JAC leaders including State convener Pittala Ravinder, co-chairman N Prahlad and co-convener Tanvir Sultana wrote a letter to their Chairman Kodandaram. They alleged that the statements and thoughts of the JAC chairman were totally against the real spirit of forming the JAC. They alleged that there was no collective thinking in the JAC.
Ravinder said Kodandaram did not understand that the society was giving him respect and the identity as all the JAC leaders were giving their consent to the proposals of the JAC chairman. But he said Kodandaram was behaving as if the JAC members were getting recognition only because of him.
“You don’t even have a history of sacrifices like we all did. You had a government job, got promotions and now you are getting pension. Can you disclose single sacrifice you have made during the Telangana agitation?” questioned Ravinder.
He alleged that the JAC chairman had included all the credits into his account and the clear example of this was no other leader except Kodandaram was in the news from JAC. 
The JAC leaders alleged that Kodandaram had no respect towards women and treated Dalits and poorer sections as his slaves. The leaders also alleged that the JAC chairman was with a thought process of ‘all should follow my directions and should work for me’.
They further alleged that the chairman had gone against the JAC’s core agenda of not aligning with political parties and only working as a civil society group. “How can you talk of the need to have a political party like AAP (Aam Admi Party) while being in the JAC as the chairman?” they questioned.
The JAC leaders said there was a need for the JAC chairman to discuss these issues in the steering committee meeting and give clarity to the Telangana society.
