AP Cannot Face Another Agitation

AP Cannot Face Another Agitation

The Chief Minister of the State as well as the Leader of the Opposition are from Rayalaseema. Prior to that, both YSR and Kiran Kumar Reddy were from Rayalaseema as well.

And yet, certain politicians like Mysoora Reddy are now raising the demand for a separate Rayalaseema state. No doubt, they have all been inspired by KCR who went from a jobless politician overnight to becoming the ‘Jinnah of United Andhra Pradesh’ successfully.

Putting aside the merits and de-merits in the demand for a separate Rayalaseema, the Telugu people of AP cannot withstand the emotional pressure of another agitation.

They had developed Hyderabad only to lose it to a fly-by-night operator. And now, politicians who have hardly done anything for their constituencies are now trying to divide the people once again for their own self-interests.

Rather than the people of AP and Rayalaseema hurl allegations and counter-allegations at each other, it is better to concede the demand for a separate Rayalaseema. Or development should be done on an equitable basis across AP.

But that seems highly unlikely given the CM’s obsession with Amaravathi for which he seems to have put his community above his region and the state.

In that case, separate Rayalaseema seems to be the only solution.
