AP STATE SEPARATION - COMMON MAN'S PERSPECTIVE

AP STATE SEPARATION - COMMON MAN'S PERSPECTIVE

1. It's very unfortunate that the state is divided into two, against the wishes of the majority of the people living in combined state.

2. As all of us are aware that both national parties leading NDA & UPA  were interested in the separation for their own reasons.

3. Though there were states bifurcations earlier, the AP division was unique in the sense it was not approved in state assembly and there was no serious debate in parliament and the whole process was completed in hurry for the reasons better known to both national parties.

4. For this we have to blame our own MPs representing the state in both houses of parliament, the weak leadership prevailed at state level and double standard opposition parties. In nutshell the entire political system failure resulted state separation.

5. Whether we like it or not, we have to live with the fact and adjust with reality.

6. AP division is a very peculiar case, where the newly formed state walked away with the capital city. In case of MP, UP, Bihar the capital cities remain with the old states.

7. AP being a state established with a part separated from Madras state and another part from Nizam state, the situation was unique with mulki rules, Gentlemen agreement etc.

8. Like a family separation, two brothers separated under the statesmanship of GOI. GOI decided that the old house remain with younger brother and asked the older one to built a new house.    

9.  Hyderabad being a national city, many people from coastal Andhra, Rayalaseema & Telangana districts other than many from all our India settled here and made it as true cosmopolitan city.

10. How can you name CA & RS people in Hyderabad as settlers and people from Telangana as locals. When all of them settled here from combined states, why the differentiation? Like CA & RS people have business/employment in Hyderabad & Agriculture activities in their respective villages, Telangana also have similar profile. Don't you think the new state should treat all of them equally. Moreover Telangana is treating non Telugu settlers with great respect and honor, why hostility towards its own people?

11. Is it not the responsibility of GOI, to get into history of the state, have thorough understanding of the micro issue and ensure equal justice is done.

12. One year completed after separation, still all India services allocation is not completed fully, staff allocation in many departments is pending & lot of issues to resolve, administration is not effective due to above facts.

13. Both Governments are busy with announcing lot of programmes and making tall claims. Unless until the micro level situation is not congenial how the set goals will be accomplished?

14. Both Governments put the image of Telugu's both at  national & international level to stake by Note for vote & phone tapping etc and scooping down to the level of street fighters. There is need for both Governments  to restrain from doing so , kept aside the egos and work in the interest of people.

15. Coming to the issue of common capital for 10 years, GOI shall ensure that AP Government, its employees are treated with dignity and respect till they move to their new capital. Regarding people living in Hyderabad through settling down, all has to be treated equally in all walks of life.

16. There are reports in papers stating that there are no incidents of attacks on settlers in last one year and why the implementation of section 8 is being insisted? You mean to say that relevance of section 8 comes only when some physical attack is there?  Is it not thought about as preventive strategy?

17. Why are we looking at only physical attacks alone, what about discrimination shown in other forms? Is CA & RS settlers in Hyderabad given equal opportunities in Hyderabad & given opportunities to serve Telangana state, vice versa AP state also have to give opportunities to people of Telangana districts settled in New AP.

18. GOI shall intervene and ensure that the loose ends in the state separation are identified and ensure that fair and equal justice is done in mutual interest of both states and common public like me are requesting political parties in both states with folded hands to restrain from playing with emotions of people. We want to live as own brothers and sisters with lot of love and affection.
