If you look at the History. Telengana was ruled by the Nizams, at that point Telengana included parts of Maharastra, Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh. When india went ahead to form states on the basis of linguistic basis. Telengana was bifuricated and most part of it merged into Andhra pradesh. Andhra pradesh itself was carved out of Madras Province. It was a hard time at the point for Andhra people to loose Madras. Over the years it took a while to establish good cities and infrastructure, in the state of Andhrapradesh. It was effort of various govenrnments that put Andra pradesh on fast track of development. For some reason most of the development and investment went into Hyderabad and it became one the fast growing Metropolis in the Nation. Large chunk of the investments came from Andhra people. There has been lot of migration of Andhra people to Hyderabad over the years.

Hyderabad Region is integral part of Andhra pradesh and is a major nerve centre. Dividing the state would hurt the progress of Andhra pradesh and it would take another 60 years for Andhra pradesh to develop into what it is today.

Now it has come in the hands of mean politians who want to divide the state for the sake of power. Over recent times government is trying for the over all development of the state. Backward regions need to be given special packages for their development, upliftment. Tier2 cities need to be developed all over Andrapradesh for the benefit of the people with good facilities. All Telugu people should stay united to progress ahead. There is a saying "United We Stand Divided We Fall".

Let's all stay united and help the progress of Andhrapradesh into Swarna Andhra Pradesh.
