Good point. I guess it times to go back to the drawing board and demand Madras as the new capital of non-T Telugu Desam....The Coastal and "Cudappah" (or as Rayalseema was formerly called I think) really know in your heart of hearts where you "belong"..

(There was a G.O for hiring locals or non locals from Telangana based on their place of birth -AP/G.O. 610- and its implementation and figures can be seen in the website. Also, how legal is this, since it effectively marks out locals from non locals based on the districts of birth? )Sources said while there are around 11 lakh jobs in government and aided institutions, the share of the backward region is only 2.5 lakh while it should be six lakh as per GO-610. The GO has not been implemented after 20 years.

Lucknow | Dec 11, 2009
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati on Friday jumped on the bandwagon demanding the creation of smaller states, declaring that carving Harit Pradesh and Bundelkhand from parts of UP was a 'feasible' idea.
In the wake of the Centre's decision to create Telangana by dividing Andhra Pradesh, the UP CM said that her party will back the demand for the creation of smaller states.
"We back the demand for Harit Pradesh. Smaller states can be better administered," she told a press conference in Lucknow.
"If the Centre moves a resolution on Harit Pradesh, the Bahujan Samaj Party will support it," said the BSP supremo.
Rashtriya Lok Dal chief Ajit Singh has already revived his party's demand for Harit Pradesh, to be carved out of parts of western UP, and said he wanted to discuss the matter with the Centre.
I do not know all the details of GO-610 implementation and reasons around it. I will tend to believe what Telanganites are saying regarding this issue becasue the adminstration and beauracracy is dominated by the coastal area folks as they are more educated (from the times of British rule) than Telangana folks. They created a space where it is naturally difficult for Telangana folks.AjayKK wrote:Now that Telangana is a reality, since delaying tactics are not going to work, one wonders if it might not have come to this situation if the officially sanctioned " son of the soil " policy AP/G.O. 610 was properly implemented?
Would it have helped the folks of Telangana who are feeling victimised due to the poor governance of past and present governments? Knowledgeable folks please answer...

Actually Vizag is being readied for such a situation. There is an aprehention that Telangana is inevitable for a while inspite of all rhona-dhona. A lot of Telugu movies are made either in Hyderabad and Vizag anyway.vina wrote:If Hyderabad goes , you can rest assured, that the entire Telugu Film industry will come running back to their "original home" - Madras .. All the old Gemini, Vijaya Vahini and studio folks and even Telugu stars like Akkeni Nageswar Roa, N T Rama Rao and all those old folks would smile and bless them from wherever they are now..
True. But we need to give credit to INC central rulers. They seems to be really decisive and Telangana is final.ravi_ku wrote:OK folks, the counter fast-unto-deaths have started. One is going on in Tadipatri by a low level PRP leader. The twist is even the police are said to be supporting him
The first "resigned" powerful Vijayawada MP, owner of Lanco industries is planning to go one himself. If he goes on fast, with the amount of money power he has, he can stop any harakiri against him by simply buying them off.
me right now, grabbing a bag of popcorn and have started to control my emotions and starting to enjoying all the tamasha. One thing is certain and for me, the only positive in this. The renowned servility of the local congress to the high command has been shown as mirage and will have lot of negatives for congress as a whole. Now where is my popcorn?
Still does not ensure an arrest in wide spread corruption. e.g: Madhu Koda, Jharkhand. Me feels, part of this drive for smaller states, is a drive for regional satraps to get to their own gravy train faster, by being at the top slot in the province. Something they cannot do in the larger entity. I am not for "larger" states, but the malice cannot be arrested by smaller states alone. Having said that, I have seen first hand the difference a smaller state can make when I compare Uttarakhand with UP, before and after the split. In relative terms, Uttarakhand, seems first world and UP looks third world. Same goes for Goa and Maharashtra, no prize for guessing, who looks like first world in relative terms.shiv wrote:Chief ministers (and their cabinets and cronies) of Indian states are all corrupt fat ba$tards who make huge money while most of the state is left high and dry. Better to divide up the states into smaller governable bits and let the state governments work for their money.
Look at Karnataka - a totally stupid 1 city state (OK one and a half cities now). Most of the North consists of rubbishy one-horse towns not worth mentioning for tourism, industry or even crime. What's the use? Divide the damn state up and let the local capitals develop themselves to be better than Bangalore and bring industry and jobs to those areas. As long as the Bellary man can get fat in Bangalore he does not give a fig for what happens in his bone-dry constituency.
And each of these half-wit chief ministers get a state as big as a European country. Balls . Divide up the states. No corrupt neta should have such a huge state to plunder. They are mostly incapable of governing in any case.
Sums up the crux of the issue when it come to the need for smaller states. It cutrails strong regional satraps from dictating terms to the centre, prevents policy concentration and actually makes states compete with one another rather than live off their natural advantages.shiv wrote:And each of these half-wit chief ministers get a state as big as a European country.

Lets pray and hope that the ongoing kosta andhra protests will disprove a very old saying "Andhrulaku Aarambha Sooratvam" means Andhras have josh in the start only...bhavani wrote: Man we andhra folks have real become a laughing stock.
lets say if congress fades after all this telangana issue is resolved(separated or united)...who else has the capacity to fill the void...TDP or PRP or JP in Andhra/Rayalaseema regions?Congress is surely digging its own grave in AP.
This is exactly what I was thinking. As far as Karnataka is concerned there is no doubt it is a one city state. All Ministers, MLA and their posse end up staying in Bangalore anyways, visiting constituencies only during election time.shiv wrote:Look at Karnataka - a totally stupid 1 city state (OK one and a half cities now).

Man that was hard....Home Secy egged his face himselfMPs from Andhra Pradesh were also furious over Pillai's remarks. "We go by what Prime Minister (Manmohan Singh), Congress president Sonia Gandhi says and not by Pillai, superintendent of police or a clerk...let the home secretary give separate Telangana, if he is capable," Congress MP K S Rao told reporters in Parliament.
