State gears up for Telangana bandh

Even as the Telangana Sadhana Joint Action Committee (JAC) is all set to enforce a bandh tomorrow pressing for a separate statehood to Telangana, the students at Osmania University have ‘urged’ the people to boycott New Year celebrations in support of separate state. - Congress to meet on Dec 29 over JAC participation - Another one down - Telangana remains tense - Mukesh Ambani ranked 5th best CEO in the world - Rise of China decade"s top story - Facebook, for those who came in late The JAC members on Tuesday disrupted a meeting of Lok Satta chief Jayaprakash Narayan with his party corporators. They demanded that he spell out his party stand on a separate Telangana. The wordy duel ended after police intervened. Telangana Rashtra Samithi legislator T Harish Rao said buses and trains would be stopped tomorrow as part of the bandh call. The Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation suspended long distance bus services from tonight itself and would stall all operations in the region tomorrow. The police, on the other hand, had clamped Section 144 in the city. Meanwhile, the Telugu Desam Party in Andhra Pradesh has taken exception to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s remarks that “regionalism” posed a threat to the country. TD politburo member Nagam Janardhan Reddy and others said the Congress high command had “insulted” the ministers from Telangana by not granting them an audience when they visited New Delhi to seek a clarification on the separate statehood to Telangana. The TD reiterated its demand that all the Telangana Congress ministers and MPs tender their resignations. They asked the students and other Telangana supporters to not resort to violence in view of the bandh. Nagam said the way new Governor ESL Narasimhan was taking stock of the political situation raised doubts over imposition of President’s rule in Andhra Pradesh. P Sabita Reddy, who resigned as home minister along with other ministers, today refrained from attending the law and order review meeting with chief minister K Rosaiah. She drew flak after she attended the review meeting with the new Governor yesterday.

Support seen at 4,900 level
The Nifty closed below 5,000 on Friday due to unwinding of long positions and fresh shorts build-up by foreign institutional investors (FIIs). We had indicated in our December 10 report that the index might not hold the 5,000 level in near future. Technically, the market is trading in a bearish triangle pattern and fresh correction is expected next week with strong support around the 4,900 level. The daily Relative Strength Index has drifted below the mean level of 50, indicating caution. Any failure to rise from the current level could see the index drift lower to test the 4,940 level.
