Most people who understand the issues of Telangana support seperate Telangana. The movement for seperate Telanga is not started by KCR; it is there since the beginning(from 1956 when Telangana is merged with Andhra State to become Andhra Pradesh state) in people's frustrations. Whenever there was a effective political leadership, it translated into political movement(Both in 1969 and now). Government of India better understand the telangana people's aspirations and grant Telangana State. Telangana people got very raw deal under in Samaikhya Andhra in last 50years. This happened because Telangana politicians could not protect Telangana interests; as they are influenced by rich Coastal-Andhra lobbyists or Coastal-Andhra party leaders. Because of the lack of primary system (like in US) Telangana politicians has to be loyal to their party leaders than to their people, for their survival. Another problem is, all the development funds have to come from either center or from the state government. Because of the lack decentralization of powers, local bodies (Districts/Mandals/Villages) does not have any powers to raise their own resources to address their local issues. So only option left is to fight for their fair share in assembly. If you are a former you know that you don't keep powerful cow and weak cow in the same cabin and let them share the grass.
