Hello Readers,we are aware of the newly formed 29th state of our nation, Telengana. The state is new but the idea behind its formation goes several decades back much before the existence of Andhra Pradesh. However,an incident of death of a revolutionary who was observing fast for establishment of a state on the basis of language compelled the then Prime Minister Nehru to pave the way for the creation of Andhra Pradesh. However the demand resurfaced and there has been constant struggle for demand of Telengana. Several lives have been lost in pressing for this demand. The central Govt since then has resisted the movements at times ruthlessly supressing the movement and sometimes by making false promises and pretensions to delay the demand. Some amount of pain and suffering in bifurcation was inevitable but a great deal of violence and acrimoinous feeling could have been averted had the central govt acted with more sensitivity and understanding of the hopes and fears of the people on two regions.

But finally the parliament passed the resolution for the set up of the new state amidst lot of drama on the floor of the house. We all must be knowing about the incident in lok Sabha when an MP of AP tried to defy the bill by spraying pepper spray and tearing the papers relating to the resolution. Such events in the parliament are no more sporadic. Every now and then we hear stories of bench throwing abusing and hampering the sesions of either Parliament or Assembly by our respected MPs and MLAs.

The pioneer of Telengana movement Mr K C Chandrashekhar Rao had led 11 days of fast that resuscitated the struggle and set the stage for the establishment of the state. The 14 years of prolonged struggle had made this state possible. The official date of birth of the state is decided as June 2nd of 2014. Now that the promise is fulfilled time has come to address the problem of the people of Seemandhara. The problem of unemployment, poverty, infrastrtucture and conflicts regarding sharing of resources as AP now is reduced to a residual state, needs to be fixed.

Andhra Pradesh is rightly termed as residual state since most of the water bodies and agricutual land have passed into Seemandhra region. There were speculations that Vizag might be made the capital of AP. Now there is an agreement that Hyderabad will remain the joint capital of both the states for coming 10 years.

With the formation of the state the curtain is drawn on a long struggle for statehood. The real challenge is ahead which is to meet the basic requirement of the people and settling the disputes and reallocating the resources. The creation of new capital for the residual state in no way limits the interest of the people of Seemandhra who have their stakes in the development of Hyderabad.

Whether the formation was right or not is debatable but for a common people like us, our interest lies in the betterment of the masses in general irrespective of regions they belong to. Hope and wish our Govt also acts on the same line.

Readers what do you think whether the bifurcation was a good choice. Please share your views.

Thanks for the post. Only time will decide whether the bifurcation was the right choice or not.

It depends on the state govt of both the states to ensure that developments do take place with equitable distribution of resources.

Bifurcation is only partly beneficial for the Telangana people as they do not have many natural resources, except water. They are heavily dependent on Andhra for power and food grains; but here the main losers are the Seemandhra people, who invested heavily in Hyderabad ! The bone of contention here is Hyd city only . All water resources are flowing through the Telangana region , Seemandhra people are mainly agriculture based and for that they need water ...and from now on they have to depend on the mercy of T people ! Hyd was developed essentially by the investments from S. Andhra people and now they have to leave everything behind and have to move to the SA with empty hands, if some of the local leaders come to power and if they have their say! ...there is a bleak future for the millions of crores of Rupees invested by them in and around Hyd city! Of course they have a constitutional right to settle and live in HYD , as many of us do in various parts of the country .That is feasible as long as jealousy and hatred are not cultivated and spread among the gullible public and the youth in the society! It is more for political reasons they supported this idea with vested interests !

I dont think bifurcation has any pros or cons.

Good governance can only be ensured by decentalization, bottom-top approach and devolution of powers to the grass-roots. And this is depends on the administrators, ultimately.

But yes, the regional party in Telangana will now have to take steps to build confidence in Andhra people residing in Telangana, in investors, etc. Everyone fears that Telangana is an unsafe place to live or invest...(thanks to media's way of projecting Telangana's 'struggle' for it's creation)

Most people(both in Telangana and outside) are apprehensive about certain things. My teacher who hails from Chennai says she's asked by people there how she was able to survive here! They think Hyderabad is in a turmoil or something. And there are some others here who think Andhra natives are particularly unsafe, post bifurcation. My driver, for instance, says that Andhra natives will be driven out of Telangana! This is simply absurd. And mannny others think like that. So, it is now the responsbility of regional party(TRS) to make Telangana look like a secure and a safe place for alll, it is imperative for these regional political parties to do so.

The bifurcation was a necessity here.

Telengana Revolution has a long and bloody history and the government has evaded the Telengana question for the longest time. Too many lives have been sacrificed and it was already delayed a lot.
Hence I don't see how there could not be a separation.

As for administration, there would be certain primary difficulties, yes. But if Chandigarh can serve as a capital for two flourishing states, so can Hyderabad. I understand the concerns of the people of Seemandhra here. I sincerely hope that Vizag and Vijayawada would soon become the hotspots for investments too and it is the Centre that needs to ensure that the newly formed state doesn't lag behind. As for Hyderabad I'm hopeful it'll continue to remain the hospitable and warm city that it is.

I welcome the formation of the new states. :)

Chadra Babu as the potential chief minister candidate we can expect all round growth of seemandhra. Hope our speculations gains ground . Wish good governance resurrects this so called residual state into a productive one.
