The Joint Action Committees (JACs) which fought for the realisation of Statehood for Telangana and then went into a slumber once the State was formed are now regrouping.
The JACs were headed by senior professors from various universities and student leaders. During the movement, between 2009 and 2014, they were largely united in their mission. But today, they are divided. While some of them have been gearing up to take on the Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) government, which they say has failed Telangana, a few others have been supporting the government and highlighting its achievements of the last nine years. The Telangana government celebrated State formation day for 21 days beginning June 2 in a big way.
