The central government decided to ignore the SRC recommendations and established unified Andhra Pradesh, by merging the Telangana region with the then Andhra state, on November 1, 1956. However, a "Gentlemen's agreement" provided reassurances to the Telangana people.
Proponents of separate Telangana state feel .. all the agreements, accords, formulas, plans and assurances on the floor of legislature and Lok Sabha, in last 50 years, could not be honoured and Telangana was forced to remain neglected, exploited and backward. The experiment to remain as one State proved to be a futile exercise and therefore, separation is found to be the best solution.
