Why Telangana state?
by Ram Online on Mar 04, 2008 01:24 PM

Telangana is backward because of the AP govt policies in 50yrs. For eg; more than 80% of agriculture land from Godavari dists to Nellore dist are getting canal water provided by government funds where as less than 10% of Telangana gets canal water; even though more than 70% of catchment area of Krishna and Govavari is in Telangana. Nalgonda people are dying with florine water and Mahboob Nagar is becoming desert even though Krishna River flows thru them. When 70% population is in rural areas, and when 90% of them depends upon the agriculture, Telangana will be in poverty cycle forever because, when farmers are poor then rural economy is down hence no savings for them to invest in their kids education which means they have no chance in new knowledge economy of 21st century. Ideally, I want decentralization of powers to local bodies so that each and every corner of Andhra Pradesh and India progress at equal pace. Given the scenario, only a separate Telangana will correct the regional imbalances. Lot of people are so much sentimental about division of state. It just means making a separate administrative unit. It is still part of India where each and every citizen has right to migrate and own property wherever he/she likes. It is not a fight between people but fight to get the fair share in the resource allocation. I salute the Telangana leaders to keep the political movement peaceful. We should not loose the opportunity, of division in peaceful conditions.
