Whenever the topic of Telangana is raised, many of us blindly support Andhra or Telangana based on where we come from. Not sure how many really think of why the demand for separate state has been there for such a long time. The 2 major reasons why the demand has been pending for so many years is WATER AND HYDERABAD. People around the state have earned and invested in and around Hyderabad so there is a concerns about the safety of the investment if the state is separated while both the major rivers in our state flow mostly through Telangana. Below are some facts that are few reasons for the demand. Sentiments can be ****ish but not facts.
1. There are 10 districts in Telangana, 9 in Andhra and 4 in Rayalaseema. Out of these 7 districts in Telangana, 3 in Andhra and 1 in Rayalaseema are considered severely backward districts which means 70% of districts in Telangana are backward while in Andhra it is 35% and in Rayalaseema it is 25%. Apart from these there are some areas in all parts of the state which are also backward.
2. 45% of the state income comes from Telangana region. When it comes to utilization of funds, the share of Telangana is only 28%.
3. Normally canals are dug to supply water to the crops from rivers for cultivation. The amount of land cultivated through canals in just Guntur district is more than the land cultivated with canals in entire Telangana region.
4. Nagarjuna sagar dam is built in Nalgonda district which is in Telangana but majority of the water from the dam is used for Krishna and Guntur district. The original dam was supposed to be build much ahead of its present location but the location was changed so that it falls in the Telangana region. Due to the construction of the dam several hectares of Lime stone mines vanished as part of the dam back waters. Everyone know that lime stone is used for producing cement. Even the natural resources were not allowed to remain.
5. Fluorinated water problem is only in Nalgonda district which has not been resolved since decades.
6. Two major rivers Krishna and Tungabhadra enter the state of AP in the district of Mahaboobnagar(the biggest district in Telangana) but the district always remains the worst draught hit areas along with Anantapur because there is no project and process with which the water can be utilized. The plans for utilization has been pending for decades.
7. RDS (Rajolibanda Diversion Scheme) is build in Mahaboobnagar to provide water to 85000 hectares of land in the district. The leaders of Rayalaseems blasted the gates of RDS and water is supplied to KC (Kurnool-Cudapah) canal while only remaining water, if any, is supplied to the lands in Mahaboobnagar.
8. 3k TMC of water from Gandipet is sufficient to supply drinking water to our city. Every year 1700 TMC of water is wasted and is flown into Bay of Bengal from river Godavari. Starting from Nizambad to Bay of Bengal there is no project allowed to build on Godavari. If it is built leaders in Godavari districts fear that the fertile lands in the area may fall short of water. If the Godavari water is utilized properly, there will be no scarcity for food grains in our state.
9. In Telangana regions, only few areas cultivate one crop a year and very rarely two crops a year while most of the land doesn?t even cultivate single crop. In both the Godavari districts, Krishna and Guntur district, two crops a year is common and there are times where even 3 crops a year are cultivated. The only reason is WATER.
10. Government issue G.O.?s for implicating its decisions. G.O number 610 is the longest non implicated G.O in the history of AP. The G.O was issued in 1986 by late NTR who was then the CM of AP, which is not yet implicated. The G.O speaks about the share of Telangana employees in Government jobs in Telangana region.
11. 33% of the population in Mahaboobnagar district have left the district for livelihood to different parts of the state due to draught and majority of them are working as daily labour. No other district has so many people who fled the home place due to lack of livelihood and working as daily labour.
12. There are 25 plus government degree colleges in Krishna, Kadapa and Guntur district while there is not even a single government degree college in Ranga Reddy district.
13. Dairy development corporation of AP purchases milk from farmers across the state for distribution. For the same milk, in Andhra, the government pay Rs. 24 to the farmers and in Telangana they pay Rs. 22 per litre. Partiality is shown even in milk J
14. In between 2005-2008 government sold lands worth Rs. 20000 crores in and around Hyderabad which was utilized to build projects in Rayalaseema and Andhra.
15. Not even a single project was completed in Telangana in the last 5 years while several projects were completed in Andhra and Rayalaseema.
Not just Telangana but areas of Northern Andhra, Prakasham and parts of Rayalaseema are still backward. The state needs to progress as a unit. People are suffering across the state and they need a solution.
Nobody wants a split in the state but when the people of one region are constantly humiliated and denied of what they should be getting, such demands keep coming. Let us show maturity in understanding social problems keeping aside the sentiments.
NOTE:
THIS IS NOT AT ALL REGIONAL ISSUE.......... JUST AN INDIVIDUAL OPINION AND VIEWS...... NOT POINTING ANY ONE.

Ravi,
Good post with little fact density. No one accepts that there are 10 districts in Telangana. There are only 9 districts in Telangana and Hyderabad is exclusion.
Coming th the state income tax calculations, the percentage of tax is not 45 percent, but it is 36 percent and out of this 36 percent, more than 30 percent is being paid from Hyderabad, which is not part of Telangana.
For all other points that you focussed, the real culprits are the politicians like KCR, VH, DS, MS, Jeevan Reddy, KK, Kaka, Puka and so on. What these people have done apart from earning money and power for themselves?
What are the above said leaders doing so far? Whose mistake is this if their leaders have not done any development in the region?
Do you know who is the person responsible for non-formation of Telangana in 69? It is not one..., it is group of evils lead by Late Chennareddy and those are VH, Kaka, KK and so on. They are so called 'Congress Seniors'.
Again, if the formation of Telangana is an issue of justification, why is the implementation pending for 60 years?
This is not to hurt any brother or sister from Telangana region, but to focus the facts and let them know who is responsible for the slogan of separation.
yes as of your opinion there is 9 districts in telangana apart hyderabad surely I'll agree with your opinion and there is 8 districts in Andra apart vizag and there is 4 in seema apart thirupathi. because all these places were developed by Govt funds which is collected from public in various ways. Bludy eadiots of politicians like KCR, Chandrababu, Chiranjeevi and Lagadapati all are earning for them selves and not doing any favour of public. so we all are eliminate these rascals and scoundrels.
Hyderabad is definitely part of Telangana.......
Yes Sri you are absolutely right, It's heart of Telangana. Nobody can divide this part from our Telangana state.
ravi anna,
grt anna, grt .. i love u ravi..
wht about my rayalaseema, no body is talking about? only telangaana and andhra... ( i request all people to say kosta andhra or more simply kosta area, as it gets confusion it is the state name for whole andhra pradesh, since child hood i am telling all other state people that i belong to andhra,rather than using andhra pradesh. Andhra is a simple name for andhra pradesh. so dont get confuse and name it for only part of andhra pradesh. hwo can it be??
