Solution is the cause of further trouble with regard to Telengana

By O.J.George

The Telengana people have been outraged as they felt deprived of developments in the region at the cost of growth in the other regions of Andhra Pradesh.

After years of struggle, there has been a silver lining in the horizon, as Home Minister P.Chidambaram announced steps for the formation of the Telengana State, carved out from Andhra Pradesh.

Pat came the reaction, for 120 MLAs have submitted their resignation to the Speaker and as many as 22 Ministers belonging to the Rayalaseema and coastal Andhra regions have offered to quit, in protest against the formation of Telengana.
Now things are not going to be smooth in AP, for the agitation would go on for some more time. But loss of lives and property is a sorrowful episode and such tragedies should be averted at any cost.

There is a lesson for all the big states like UP, Maharashtra, West Bengal etc, and for the whole nation the entire North-East, for if developments are not distributed equitably, there would be turmoil.

As the nation is progressing at different levels, people of all regions and persuasions should have the feeling that they have been taken on board.
I don’t think Telengana people, ultimately, can have the whole of the developed regions in Hyderabad-Secunderabad, for people who are antagonistic about Telengana formation should also have to be appeased.

Leaders like Dr Y.S.Rajasekhar Reddy were able to see that the State remained united. Now his son Jaganmohan Reddy cannot also claim to be a tall leader of the whole of Andhra Pradesh.

Things have gone favourable for division, for splits in other states for formation of Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, and Uttaranchal have turned beneficial for the people.
Let the wishes of the people be fulfilled.
