Evolve consensus over formation of state

Haste makes waste. Centre's hasty announcement of conceding the demand for a separate Telangana state has given fillip to the demand for separatism in different corner of the country. The case of Telangana may be special and deserve to have separate state out of Andhra Pradesh but the same is not with the all other demands for separate states in other parts of the country.The ruling Congress Party at the Centre and in the state of Andhra Pradesh should have initiated first the debate and discussion for forming a separate state of Telangana out of Andhra Pradesh among all political parties. Though it is convenient to provide better administration in smaller states, it also gives encouragement of separatism. For the present, the demand for smaller state within the bigger ones is growing but if this tendency is not discouraged, the country will be divided into small parts. Though the demand for smaller states is raised within the ambit of constititution of the nation, it may lead to the demand for sovereignty from the nation as separatist and secessionist outfits are demanding in northeast and state of Jammu and Kashmir. At present, the nation is facing serious disturbances and chaos in Andhra Pradesh for the creation of a separate state of Telangana. Almost all national parties except the CPI(M) are agreeable to the formation of a separate state of Telangana. The Centre has become nervous over the continued strike by TRS in Hyderabad ,and to douse the fire there, it hastily agreed to concede the demand of Telangana without taking into consideration the pros and cons of its announcement. MLAs resigned in enmass over Centre’s announcement of initiation the process of the formation of a separate state of Telangana. Coastal Andhra and Rayaseema are up against the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh. TRS supremo sat on hunger strike and when his hunger strike entered 11th day, his health deteriorated in the hospital followed by violence by protesters and students of Osmania University in Hyderabad for a separate state of Telangana. The way the Centre bowed to the pressure of violance and anarchy for the separation of state is not proper. This tendency will give shot in the arms of activists for the formation of states like Vidarbha, Coorg, Mithilanchal, Harit Pradesh, Budelkhand, Gorkhaland and others. Though the demand for a separate states arises out of the bad governance but its remedy is not to form too many governments and little governance. TRS supremo has taken advantage of the weak governance of Chief Minister K Rossaih. CM has given a new twist to the formation of Telangana by saying that resolution to this effect is not going to be presented in the assembly as he has received no direction from the Centre. As many as 130 legislators of the Congress, the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and the Praja Rajyam Party (PRP) have submitted their resignations to the speaker to protest the decision to carve Telangana out of Andhra Pradesh. Centre must act judiciously on the issue of formation of new states.
