RayC ji,
IMO, it is a matter of time when Telangana is a reality. there are no two ways about it. People in cities, towns, mandals (kind of taluqas), and even at village level are looking forward to this. While the initial decision seemed to be top down, it is also true that the support at the bottom is too strong - only a complete politics blind will deny it.
People, I hear from my folks (none of whom are remotely connected to politics), are little frustrated and even angry but make no mistake all one can postpone is until next elections. that ground swelling of the opinion is not going to change.
In the state we are now, I believe it is just too much circus to focus on anything. It is inconceivable that a Rayalaseema CM or a coastal Andhra CM will do any justice to Telangana. I admit that they aren't even doing justice to their own regions (but that is relative). That is not how we are going to collectively progress.
Currently the one strand on which the whole opposition or scuttling is centered on is the Maoist angle. This is just too convenient for everyone to paint Telangana supporters as Maoist. Curtailment of political aspirations of this large population is not healthy for India and no sane political party will take such a stand - that is the reason why every major political party is neck deep on Telangana bandwagon.
Let's see how it all plays out.
