Well, for the time being Telangana is off the map in the CMP (Common Minimum Program) of the UPA (United Progressive Alliance). Over the past few days, the Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) has decided to pull out of the UPA. This culminates in a 2 year 5 month journey filled with pot holes as The Hindu describes in this article.
Personally, I do not believe in a separate state. My reasons for this is the fact if Telangana were to be a separate state, it could trigger more vocal calls (than already is now) for a separate state of Vidarbha in Maharashtra. This would then lead to a call for some other separate state, and quite soon, we could have an India which would have undone Sardar Patel's legacy of a united India. That being said, I have recently been talking to a few people who strongly say that a separate Telangana is good for AP as well.
The TRS, IMO seems to have played the politics suitable to a spoilt brat. Far too long they have gotten away with ridiculous and often insulting statements, such as a quote from KCR (K Chandrashekhar Rao) "I will drag Sonia to the streets". Regardless of what your opinions on Smt Gandhi may be, it is highly offensive for anyone to refer to her like that. Furthermore, the TRS was also building castles in the air, with their statements on Telangana being just a mere few months away. The Congress, also, seemed to have realised that the TRS would only be a liability for them, and had distanced itself from the TRS over the few months.
Either way, TRS has done nothing for the T region, and as far as I can see, it just is a laughing stock of Indian Politics, making a mockery of a quite a serious issue. But then again, this is not new right???
