The Chalo Assembly program of protest for which the call was given by Telangana political JAC has already achieved its goal before it is started.  

All JAC wanted is a focus on the Telangana issue and to get the Government on heels.  It was never thought that the Chalo Assembly program will get an instant Statehood to Telangana.  It is only aimed at keeping the issue afresh.  To that extent the JAC has already achieved as it is getting the Government and the law and order personnel spend sleepless nights.

This is the first challenge to the newly charge taken by Gita Reddy as Home Minister.  Security is beefed up in the city.  The Assembly is made like a fortress.  Schools are declared a closure on 14th.  Barricades are kept at every point that leads to the Assembly.  Prohibitory orders in a radius of 2 kilo meters of the Assembly Building are issued by the Hyderabad Police Commissioner of Police Anurag Sharma. With the support announced by the political parties TRS, BJP, TDP and CPI and also by ten unions of the students of Osmania University, JAC has already become strong to voice its protest.  

The warnings of the Police of stern action against the violators and prior arrests show the impact of the call of JAC.  The event is already registered in the minds of the people of the State and also Government.   Thanks to the media coverage and political intelligence reports, it might have reached Delhi also by this time.

Now as the matter has already made a niche, tomorrow’s rally and police attempts to foil it and the arrests police going to make do not matter much.
