Telengana--What is the issue

Telengana creation has created a huge national debate?? is it ??

After reading and hearing in all channels, I decided to look into this matter also a little deeply to understand the perspective of various stakeholders

First of all, I should congratulate central Congress leadership to take this step..Why..Because after analyzing from every corner, I was not able to find any advantage to them but only lot of disadvantages. So I , though not at all Congress supporter looks at this as a pure ' Fulfillment of promise' in the best interest of people of Telengana,.

Why disadvantage is proven by why Mayawati is suddenly in favour of Harit pradesh. She got about 55% majority in UP. She has least clout in that area so taking her out from UP increases her majority in rest of UP. This makes her CM of UP for next many years very comfortably.

But for Congress, They are equally powerful in both areas. They do not have any particular clout in that area. So doing this split doesn't give them an extra state to rule in bigger scheme of things.

So, now why local leaders across parties are against this move.

Many people have brought the issue of investment in Hyderabad and those points. Somehow, I think this is true but there is one more angle toward this. Hyderabad is surely the key element but with a different perspective.

During my analysis, I figured out that though Andhra is prosperous in general vis a vis many other states In India, they do not have second city other than Hyderabad. With over 10% of current state population, it is the only metropolitan/ cosmopolitan city in Andhra.

I last went saw Vijaywada/ Guntur 7 years back and just the thought of them being capital city of just a big and prosperous state makes me laugh

For that matter, even UP have Kanpur, Noida which are actually bigger than Luchnow. Gujarat has Baroda, Maharashtra have Pune, Nagpur, Punjab have got Mohali, Haryana have got Punchkula, Gurgaon but Andhra without Hyderabad would be like Assam at best with capital city developed like Guwahati.

Now without world class Airports, Malls, Hotels like Ramada, Taj and Grand kakatiya, Residential places like Banjara and Jubilee hill, where these politicians go. Where would they live?? The local businessman like Raju :) can continue to live in Hyderabad. But politicians and superstars haev to shift where their state is. So be it Chiru or a MLA from a small town, he is living in Jubilee hills now. I do not know a single place outside Hyderabad who is even 10% developed like Jubilee hills so there would be a big change in life style of these people


Even Jharkhand had Ranchi, Uttrakhand had Dehradoon which are far more cosmopiltans than Vijaywada and Guntur for sure.

And why we all make money, to live in style, eat food in exotic locations, travel to places etc etc.

Just few thoughts from me.
