To end the long pending TELANGANA seperate statehood demand, one amicable solution found by experts considering all the angles including economic development of state, stablitiy to existing industries and to nullify the selfish interests of certain groups seems to be dividing AP into two seperate states and making Greater Hyderabad as union territory. This solution seems to be agreeable to all intellectuals keeping in mid people's interest however may seem objections from political parties who are longing to make monies using prospering, fast growing Hyderabad industrial development. This solution of 2 states who will develop their own capitals gives equal opportunity to both states and adds more industries, propserities to TELUGU people who wants to split into two states as well as protect all interests of Greater Hyderabad people.
According to sources, the proposed solution suggests division of the state into two with two Rayalaseema districts, Ananthapuram and Kurnool, being made part of the new Telangana state. It also suggests that Hyderabad will continue to be the capital city of both Seema Andhra and Telangana for some period, say five to eight years, during which both states would develop their own capital cities. After that, Hyderabad will be made into a Union Territory permanently.
As long as Hyderabad continues to be the capital city of both states, both the states could pay to Greater Hyderabad for using the infrastructure till each state establishes their own capital cities. If the option to divide Greater Hyderabad income, before distributing the Hyderabad income to the two states, the requirements of Hyderabad city would be met first and the balance only will be distributed.
Killing two birds at a shot:
Many parties including Congress may support this formula to keep its long term political interests safe and sound in both states. As a bonus, the merger of Ananthapuram and Kurnool districts in the new Telangana state will surely put a check on both YSR Congress and the TRS in their predominant zones. If the proposal is materialized, the congress can kill the two political outfits with its single shot of the division.
The proposal, if implemented, will lead to checks and balances to both TRS and YSR parties and help citizens to protect Telangana assets. Whist this formula puts check to TRS supremecy in Telengana state, it is bound to divide YSR Congresses's vote banks. Jagan’s Rayalaseema will lose two districts and KCR’s Telangana will have two additional districts in their dominated zones ( diluting their absolute strength).
This also means a division in the Reddy community in the Rayalaseema and adding them to the various vote banks in the new Telangana state. This will lead to a new polarization of political interests in both states with each of them having 147 seats in their respective assemblies.
According to political observers, this polarization may lead to neutralization of TRS and Jagan factors resulting in the strengthening of the congress vote banks in both states. And in case KCR agrees to merge his party with the congress, the congress interests would be permanently protected.
However, the TDP may still continue to be a force to reckon with in both states in such circumstances as all people who might not like the division of the state might vote for it in the next elections to take vengeance on the Congress for dividing the state.
On the whole, the TDP and the congress may continue to be major political forces in both states.
Will the stake holders agree?
It is true that all political parties have to agree to any solution that may be found by the Centre to solve the issue but in the present circumstances it may not be difficult to get approval for any possible solution to be put forward by the Centre on Telangana.
The entire AP is seeking a quick solution to the imbroglio and most of the stake holders may agree to the formula for the division of the state. Again, the UPA partners too have to agree to the said solution.
The Centre may be thinking of pushing this solution forward in top gear and get unanimous agreement among the warring stake holders of Andhra Pradesh there by bringing back normalcy into state quickly. In case of rejection of this formula and continuance of agitation paralysing public life and damaging state properties, disturbing indiviudal's lifes, state prosperity may force Centre to bring in PRESIDENT's RULE, which again may be welcome!!!
Let us all pray and hope all parties will keep their selfish interests aside and at least once look into GOOD FOR ALL TELUGU PEOPLE quickly.
