According to the expelled IL Governor Rod Blagojevich in his statement on Monday said that it was quite stupid of him to say to the Esq. Mag that he is darker than Barack Obama & that he does not believe in it in any case.

Within an interview on the W-L-S Radio in Chicago, Blagojevich explicated that he was verbalizing meta-phorically to the news reporter whose story comes out in the Feb issue of the mag. He also said that his remarks were actually made out of thwarting with the way, Black people & other people who are clambering, are actually cared for by the government.

It is a brainless metaphor to even say that I am blacker than Barrack Obama, for which i personally apologize for, he said that it is not befitting for me, a White, to leap out in some manner & lay claim to be a Black, that’s merely wrong. I was conveying my foiling that the policies of this very inexperienced governing body still have not actually been centering on the great deal of unfairness’s we currently have within our society.

The two times elective Democrat named Rod Blagojevich was incriminated as well as absented from the business office within the previous year aft the Fed prosecuting attorney* apprehended him on corruptness accusations that actually included, trying out to sell the United states of America’s President Barrak Obama’s old Senate seat. Blagojevich at that particular time was pleaded .guiltless. The White House had declined to remark. On the whole Blagojevich’s case

Telangana is a region in Indian state Andhra Pradesh which comprises of more than 10 northern districts of the state. Telangana region is spread over a wide region from Deccan Plateau to the west of Eastern Ghats. It has a population of more than 35 million people and includes cities like Hyderabad, Khammam, Warangal, and Nizamabad. Two important rivers, river Krishna and Godavari, flows through the Telangana region. In 1959, Prime Minister Nehru assigned the task to design the creation of Indian states. The creation of these Indian states was to be based upon languages. The task was assigned to a commission known as States Reorganization Commission (SRC). SRC recommended that Telangana should not be merged with Andhra Pradesh state and should be given the status of an independent state. The government didn’t pay heed to SRC recommendations and merged Telangana with Andhra Pradesh. An agreement was made between Telangana region and Andhra Pradesh state that the resources will be distributed among them according to their rights.

However, government couldn’t fulfill the promises it made to the people of Telangana and the agitation against government spread in the region. This agitation took form of a movement and the participants of the movement started demanding for a separate Telangana state. In 1969, the movement led to widespread protest and violence. Hundreds of lives were lost in the violence.

The movement still remains alive and in 2009 election campaign every major party supported for a separate Telangana state. Widespread protests were made in last weeks of November and early December 2009. Demonstrations were being made and rallies were organized. The leader of the movement K. Chandrashekar Rao announced a hunger strike and a fast-unto-death. In the wake of increasing protests, the home minister announced on December 9, 2009 that the government will start efforts to establish a separate Telangana state. The statement was made on behalf of government of India.
