Why Telangana State?
by Ram Online on Mar 04, 2008 10:57 PM

Here is example of descrimimnation of AP rulers towards Telangana.

Due to the merger of Telangana and Andhra in 1956, By changing the design of Nagarjuna sagar project, Krishna, Guntur, West godavari district formers recieved canal water for addtional 15 lakh acres illegally at the expense of farmers of Telangana.

Each acre of land with irrigation water will bring additional 10,000 rupees/crop of income to the farmer at least(with today' prices). If we have 2 crops per year; this mean 20,000/year/ acre. 15lakh acres bring 3000 crores/year. More than 1 lakh-crores since formation of AP (n today's rupees).

More money to Andhra farmers means ..
1) better education for their kids(including money to pay for
tutorials, private schools), 2)if their kids are not good students they could get admission into privatge colleges.
3)In government jobs, they could compete better because of better education received; if they are not so good to compete, they can always get recommendation from their friends/relatives in beaurocracy/ politicians( More than 90% for senior beaurocracy is from
andhra anyway); if they don't have any friends/realtives in beaurocracy, they can always bribe them(they can afford to pay big bribes because they are rich). This explains why 90% of employees in Secreatariate are from Andhra even today even though literacy levels
of Telangana and Andhra are at the same level.
